The SCS-VR virtual software receiver from Digital Monitoring Products (DMP) has earned the UL1610 Listing, the “Standard of Safety for Central Station Alarm Units.” This certification enables Central Stations to rely on a lower-cost software alternative to traditional receiver hardware. Adding monitoring capacity is now as easy as installing new software on any UL-listed server, where the SCS-VR can act as the primary receiver or backup to existing hardware receivers. The SCS-VR operates as a virtual receiver for AES-encrypted IP alarm communications, managing all network and cellular alarm signals, supervision and substitution messages at higher speeds than conventional receivers.
