Product Description
The Fortress GSM-C 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-C 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 .
Includes:
* 1 X Main GSM Console
* 10 X Window/Door Contacts
* 2 X Pet Immune Passive infrared motion detectors
* 3 X Remote control keyfobs
* 1 X Loud indoor siren
* 1 X Loud outdoor siren with flashing light
* 1 X Panic Button

Works well, but you need to go to the company website for the best instructions
By Rick C.
Got a basic GSM (cell-phone-based) system with motion detector, two door/window sensors, a (really loud) indoor siren, two remotes, and a panic button. Went to the company's website (fortresssecuritystore.com), and downloaded the pdf user manual dated November 2013 (in blue box at left). It's 80-something pages, but there's very little on each page. That made a huge difference when I went to install it, because the instructions that came in the box weren't nearly as good. It took a few hours, but that's partly because there are "customizable options" that allow you, for instance, to only sound the indoor alarm when a door sensor is activated, not the motion sensor. (My door sensor is on the screen door, so if it's opened, the alarm goes off and hopefully discourages the thief from breaking into the house. If they're already inside--where the motion sensor detects them--I don't want them to know I'm aware of their presence.) SIM card is from an AT&T cheapie cell phone (I think it was $5) on a plan that costs $25 for 3 months and includes 250 minutes. You can also use the unit as a speaker phone (and it has a plug that I think allows you to use a regular phone, but I haven't tried it yet), so you have the option of using some of those minutes to just talk. Once I got everything configured, it worked just as it should. There are some limitations (for instance, when a sensor is activated and the unit calls you, you can opt to "listen in" through a microphone to hear if someone's actually in your house, but the only mike is on the unit--which may not be near where the intruders are), but it otherwise seems pretty well thought out.

i didn't realize this was only 2G compatible, horn cord is to short and blasted in your ear disarming, i havn't been able to get
By Al
i didn't realize this was only 2G compatible, horn cord is to short and blasted in your ear disarming, i havn't been able to get it to call out. probably my misunderstanding to poor thought out direction. No direction or pictures of how to install; what piece goes where.
i think for the money its ok, i would of like to see a DvD instructional video. i also didn't like the batteries chosen for the unit. these are expensive and not sure yet how long they'll last. i haven't run into any areas where the signal is'nt being picked up. i like the three key less entrey fobs. and the easy plug in alarm and flash unit but the cord is to short. i liked the two motion sensors and the many door and window monitors.

Good Night Sleep
By Christian Kircher
This system is great. I hooked the main unit, Magic Jack, wireless router up to my Battery Backup. It calls my cell number when it goes off and even with the power off to the house. Love it and sleep at night with no problems. Love it!
