Communicating by Phone
(Voice-Guided VDMP3)
You can communicate with your security system by phone by using a system accessory called the VDMP3
Voice Dialer (sold separately). The VDMP3 is a module that can be programmed to call one or more telephone
numbers in the event of an alarm. For example, when an alarm occurs at your store during off-hours, every
employee can receive notification via telephone: (sample message) “Area 1 in alarm. Zone 3. Press 1 to disarm
the system...”
You can also call the VDMP3 from an outside line, enabling you to arm or disarm the system as well as activate
PGMs. The VDMP3 essentially turns any outside telephone into a keypad. For example, you unexpectedly have
to extend a business trip, and for security reasons, would like to turn on your office’s lighting. Simply use your
phone to toggle the lights on and off. Consult your installer for more information.
