Dual path signalling systems

There are several types of dual path systems; some include a digital communicator combined with a GSM system (using mobile phone technology). Under normal circumstances alarm signals are sent to the Alarm Receiving Centre by the digital communicator but if this is not possible due, e.g. to the cable having been cut, the signals are sent by the GSM system. Other system use a monitored signalling system also combined with a GSM system. In the event of the monitored signalling system being unable to send an alarm signal to its monitoring centre the signal is sent by the GSM system.

Dual path siganlling systems have a great benefit in that they allow an alarm condition followed by a signalling path fault (or vise-a-versa) to be treated as a “confirmed alarm" and therefore obtain a police response. Similarly faults in both signalling paths can be treated as "confirmed alarms" and obtain a police response.
