RedCARE Classic- Secure single path signalling
A single path monitored alarm system. Can be installed on Grades 2,3 or 4 intruder alarm systems. RedCARE is a secure alarm signalling network from BT, which continuously monitors property to protect against intruders and fire.
It is the largest and most secure network of its kind. The system operates by transmitting a signal from a protected site to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) using a BT analogue or digital telephone line.

RedCARE GSM -Belt and Braces signalling
This is a dual monitored alarm system that can be used on system grades 2,3 or 4. It uses the same technology as the RedCARE Classic, described above and with the added extra of GSM roaming signalling as back-up link to the Alarm Receiving Centre in case of a BT line interruption i.e. cut cable. The ROAMING sim uses any of the UK’s mobile phone networks.
