A Fresh Solution to Cellular Jamming
DMP, one of the leading security alarm manufacturers in the world, has developed a new product in the war against burglaries and crime. JamAlert, is an innovative sensor that promises to be essential in combating an escalating danger to alarm systems as a revolutionary device that detects cellular signal jamming, ensuring alarm systems remain operational during attempted burglaries. This device is compatible with various alarm panels and provides real-time detection of jamming—a pioneering product in the security landscape. Furthermore, it can be updated through firmware to counter new threats. Initially aimed at premium retail and banking markets, the product has been released for all types of security applications and is now available with security and fire alarm providers to include in their inventory of crime fighting weapons.
ESI, Emergency Systems Inc., a local North Florida and South Georgia security and fire alarm company with over 50 years’ experience is now equipped to detect the use of cellular jamming devices in use. ESI has been at the forefront of every security and fire alarm product rollout, offering cutting edge technology to clients in all types of industries.
Launch and Industry Response
DMP rolled out was originally scheduled for an earlier launch, but the release was pushed back to include additional functionality: field-upgradable firmware. This allows enhancements without complete hardware replacement. Security professionals will have their first opportunity to view JamAlert in person at ISC West, where DMP will display the product. Attendees will learn about its features through detailed discussions and virtual demonstrations.
Operational Efficiencies
JamAlert acts as a sensor that persistently checks for excessive cellular network interference, signaling potential jamming. Upon detection, it activates an alert on the alarm panel, which can be configured to notify a monitoring center. Users of DMP’s Virtual Keypad system will get immediate alerts when jamming occurs. The sensor connects directly to the alarm panel, resembling any other triggered zone. Based on the panel’s settings, this information gets communicated to the monitoring center, enabling security teams to act promptly. The real-time detection feature allows property owners, security personnel and ESI’s monitoring technicians to react swiftly before intruders can gain access, helping to minimize losses. Plus, the product is built for straightforward installation and integration into current security frameworks, making it an appealing choice for integrators to enhance their offerings.
While some alarm panels have jamming detection capabilities, JamAlert uniquely focuses on cellular jamming. There is no other dedicated cellular jam detection device in the industry, DMP believes this is a true first-of-its-kind solution safeguarding its proprietary innovations, DMP has sought a patent for the device and its detection methods. Another key aspect is its versatility. As criminals develop new strategies to circumvent security measures, the ability to update field firmware guarantees that users are shielded from evolving threats. DMP will continue to enable field upgrades so any necessary adjustments to algorithms or detection capabilities can be implemented quickly,
Compatibility and Applications
Unlike certain security systems that are manufacturer-specific, DMP’s JamAlert is designed to be compatible across various brands, functioning seamlessly with alarm panels from Resideo, DSC, and Bosch. While there are added advantages when paired with a DMP system, this device works with any hardwired alarm panel available on the market today. This flexibility makes it suitable for various security applications. Beyond safeguarding luxury retail outlets and jewelry shops, it can be utilized in banking institutions, corporate headquarters, and data centers—anywhere cellular communication is vital for alarm monitoring. High-value residential properties can also leverage this added layer of protection against sophisticated break-in attempts.
