Designed for Existing Alarm System Upgrades
This upgrade kit is suitable for replacing ageing alarm control equipment while retaining compatible security devices already installed throughout the property.
Depending on their condition and compatibility, the following existing components may be reusable:
- Hardwired motion detectors
- Pet-friendly motion detectors
- Door and window reed switches
- Glass-break detectors
- Internal and external sirens
- Strobe lights
- Existing alarm cabling
The included plug pack and 12V backup battery provide new power components for the upgraded control panel. Existing detectors, sirens and cabling should still be tested before being connected to the new system.
Optional Smartphone Control with Bosch RSC+
Smartphone connectivity is not included in this upgrade kit. Add the Bosch B426-M IP Module to connect a compatible Solution 3000 system to the Bosch RSC+ app.
Depending on the system configuration, the RSC+ app can provide:
- Remote arming and disarming
- Push notifications for alarm events
- System and zone-status viewing
- Event-history access
- Control of configured outputs
The B426-M requires a compatible network connection and professional configuration. Internet, data and monitoring-service charges may apply separately.
Optional Bosch Remote Controls
Compatible Bosch wireless remote controls can be added for convenient arm and disarm operation without entering a code at the keypad.
A compatible wireless receiver and remote controls are required and are not included with this upgrade kit. Browse the range of Bosch alarm remote controls.
