DSC Alarm Monitor

[MelissaDaisy99]

This native gPhone application allows a home owner to monitor and control their DSC Home Alarm remotely. You can see the status of zones and arm/disarm the alarm.

With one-time setup in the application and a native Android interface, it makes interacting with your alarm system much simpler from away from home.

We use the software to arm the alarm once we realize we'll be gone longer than expected. The alarm also calls us when it's triggered, allowing us to see which zones were triggered and then monitor IP security cameras (see our free IP Cam Viewer app).

This app works with the DSC TL-150 module. Although it is not longer for sale with DSC, you can still get the Envisalink IP-100D Module (Made by: Envisalink and Sold by: Eyez-on.com); which is made by the same company as the DSC TL-150 module. It provides some additional system capabilities.

You can download/install this application from your gPhone using the "Market" application (link). Search for words in the application name above.

Now includes a desktop widget which displays the current arm/disarm status using an icon along with update date/time and text status.

Great post! It's very nice. Thank you so much for your post.

The app received an update a day or two ago, and I'm curious to know if there were any changes to its functionality, or if it just included changes of the behind the scenes variety. I haven't noticed anything different.

Hi.

I got a suggestion earlier in this thread to buy the Envisalink. Now I have bought it and installed it. I installed DSC Alarm Monitor Lite and the functions works.

I'm just wondering about the ARM-button, would it be possible to add Stay-ARM? We use it every day when we go to bed and it would be very useful. Maybe add it to the paid version only so I will be forced to buy it, not a problem

One small bug which is really only cosmetical, the app doesn't seem to respect my locale. It shows dates in the wrong format and time in AM/PM.

Thanks for a nice app otherwise!

...I'm just wondering about the ARM-button, would it be possible to add Stay-ARM? We use it every day when we go to bed and it would be very useful. ..

Actually, in the circumstance you described, the app currently will set the system to go to Stay-Arm, as long as you don't open and close one of the exit sensors while it is in the Exit Delay cycle, but it would be nice to be able to selectively force set it to Stay-Arm or Away-Arm by an app choice.

The other side of that issue is when you want to set Away-Arm from the app, and you are already outside and away from the house. In that case, since you can't physically open and close an exit sensor, it goes to Stay-Arm. which is a contrary to the real condition you would normally want. You can currently make those selections from the Eye-zon mobile URL, but I'd really like to be able to do it all within the DSC Alarm Monitor app.

To be really greedy, it would also be great to be able to set the *9 Stay-Arm mode (results in immediate alarm if any exterior sensor is triggered while armed) from the app.

Just installed on a Droid 3 (Android 2.3.4) and the app has an issue connecting. Most times it will not even connect no matter how long you leave it trying. After all the trying it connected twice but that seemed to be after a long time trying. The test comes back success right away.
The app runs fine on my old Droid 1.

Any chance of an update for this?

Hi,
Does the DSC app work in alexor with the TL265GS board?

Thank's

Best regards

I think this is a good app but it could really use some more documentation on what the fields mean so hopefully this is helpful so you don’t spend as much time as me getting everything to work!

I also think so

Anyone know if this program will work with Eyez-On's newer IP170D?

[N4Spd]

not the tl265, I think it requires a middle man service.

Just got a reply from Eyez-On: "Yes the command set is the same for the IP170D and the IP100D so the 3rd party Android app with work just fine." Guess I'll give it a try and put in an order.
