When Hills ComNav went out of production, many people who had the system at home or in their businesses were left with no idea of how to continue having an easy and efficient remote access to their alarm systems. If you are a longtime user of Hills ComNav, then it should be clear to you how good it was to be able to operate the alarm with your mobile phone; that is until the support and updates ceased. But it is not the end because there are more intelligent and safer options available today. The Protegus App powered by Trikdis is one such excellent solution.
It is worth understanding what features are necessary in a new remote alarm system after ComNav module is removed and how Protegus app may be the right choice for you.
🔹 1. Reliable Remote Monitoring
The new system you are going to install must give you the opportunity to keep track of the alarm wherever you find yourself and at any time.
This application, the Protegus, offers immediate notification to the user’s smartphone in any case of alarm arming, disarming, or triggering. Compared with ComNav, which was already obsolete, Protegus issues alerts and logs immediately so that you are always updated about what is going on in your home or business.
🔹 2. Easy Integration with Existing Alarm Panels
If a substitute is truly good, it will not drag along the need for a completely new alarm system.
Communicators by Trikdis are compatible with the most common alarm panels, such as Hills, Bosch, and DSC, thus, the installation can be done with ease and without having to spend a lot of money. The alarm hardware can remain as it is and a mere communication module can be replaced for a smart control by the Protegus App.
🔹 3. Secure and Encrypted Connection
Security should be the number one priority.
The communication between the Protegus application and the Trikdis platform is through encrypted channels thus, it is more secure than the connection established by old systems like ComNav. Simply put, the protocol and the data linking your alarm system and you cannot be intercepted or altered.
🔹 4. Multi-User Access and Control
The typical situation is that there are several members of a household or a small business who want to be able to access the alarm system.
Many users can access the account on the Protegus as well as utilizing the flexible permissions tool – thus, you can authorize family members, staff or tenants to operate certain features.
🔹 5. Simple User Interface and User-Friendly Design
The Protegus App aims at an easy installation and intuitive experience for the user.
No complicated menus-just neat and uncomplicated functions to arm or disarm your alarm, monitor events, and conduct zone control-it can be used on Android and iOS devices.
✅ Conclusion
The end of the Hills ComNav era has been followed by the opening of a new door for contemporary, safe, and feature-rich alarm monitoring systems.
Using a Trikdis communicator with the Protegus App, you are able to get all the remote alarm management flexibility that you want plus compatibility and control are not compromised.
