Product Description
The Fortress GSM-B allows you to install a full-scale monitored alarm in your home without incurring costly monthly fees. A totally wireless system, the main console monitors the remote sensors (see below) and triggers the alarm in case of an intrusion. At the same time, it'll send a text message or call you to notify you of a potential break-in. Enter 6 numbers to dial in case the first isn't answered, and 3 SMS numbers.
The GSM-B has both landline and GMS capabilities, allowing one as a backup. In case an intruder manages to cut your landline, the system will still function with the GSM dialer. Furthermore, the alarm will automatically sound if the landline is forcibly cut and the system is armed.
Dial in to arm or disarm the system, check the status or use the built-in intercom. This allows you to talk to anyone near the main console.

* 10 X Window/Door Contacts
* 3 X Passive infrared motion detectors

Everything I needed, nothing I didn't.
By JM
I purchased one of these units from directly from fortresssecuritystore.com, and I couldn't be happier with the product. I work nights, and my wife was nervous to stay home with the kids by herself. After comparing this system to the "big name" companies, it was really a no-brainer.
With this system, you will get much more secure coverage for a fraction of the cost. The unit comes with ten wireless contacts, and THREE motion sensors. Any of the major remote-monitoring companies in my area came with two contacts and one motion sensor. Each additional window contact was $50-75, and an extra motion sensor would set you back $175, I'm not joking. Fortress, by comparison, sells additional window contacts for $13, and motion sensors for $23 (the system can handle up to 99).
The ability to call and text out from the unit works flawlessly. I do not have, or want, a $30 per month land-line, and this system has the ability to use a GSM wireless card. There are plenty of options from major cell carriers, but we chose to get a SIM card from mobalfreedom.com, a British-based company. There is a plan with an option to pay only for the calls/texts you use, and our monthly cost has never exceeded $5.
For using the alarm while home, the siren is excruciatingly loud, and will alert ANY homeowner to an intrusion. Combine that with a firearm which is accessible, and you have excellent peace-of-mind. The system is very sensitive (in a good way), and we have yet to have a false alarm. If you are NOT home, the callout feature contacts you as soon as the alarm trips, in literally a couple seconds. You can then disable the system, listen in via your phone, or even communicate with the wall-unit. Or you can simply hang up and call police immediately. A remote-monitoring system, on the other hand, has a lag time of several minutes before police are even contacted, despite what the commercials would have you believe.
The ONLY drawback to this system is the generic and clunky look of the wall unit and sensors. If having a sleek and sexy alarm is worth 500-600 dollars a year in monitoring, go with a national brand. If you want a system that does more, and works fine, buy Fortress.

GSM Wireless security System
By Robert Turner
I purchased this unit to replace a different recently purchased unit that did not meet my needs "sensor range", for providing adequate monitoring. This unit has performed very well and was easy to setup and configure. The only two things I have encountered was during installation, the two sided tape is not a 3m like product, so I purchased some at a local home improvement store, and this was a preference to use screws to install the magnet sensors to the doors. I recently tested the unit to confirm its operation, no sooner did I unlock and open a door, the siren was going off and it called me within 1-2 seconds. +++ no monthly monitoring fee's...

Great gsm security system for self monitoring home
By Polux
Excellent product at great price. Has customer and technical support onlne. Very easy to install. The setting process is very intuitive. The back of the panel has two slots to install a couple of wires as antennas in order to increase the reception of cell and sensors signals. I have had this security system for a month and it has been working perfectly. The setting of the wireless siren can be tricky sometimes, there is a video in the online store to help to set this siren. I have recomended this system to all my friends in mexico city, and all we are very happy wit this security system.
