Monitoring centres using MCDI can receive Roombanker alarm reports through DT42 and view them in SECURITHOR.
September 6, 2024 — Roombanker announced support for the MCDI DT42 alarm receiver and SECURITHOR monitoring software. The support remains available today.
This gives installers and monitoring partners another practical choice when a customer already works with an MCDI-based Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).
How Roombanker works with MCDI
When a Roombanker alarm device is triggered, the Hub creates the alarm event and sends the configured report to the ARC. DT42 receives the report, and SECURITHOR shows the alarm and account information to the operator.
The connection is easy to understand:
Roombanker alarm device → Roombanker Hub → MCDI DT42 → SECURITHOR operator
DT42 is MCDI’s IP alarm receiver for central stations. SECURITHOR is the software operators use to view and handle incoming alarm signals.
What this means for installers and monitoring centres
If a customer already uses an MCDI-based ARC, the installer can include Roombanker in the project without first asking the ARC to move to another receiving platform.
The monitoring centre can continue working with DT42 and SECURITHOR. The installer configures the reporting information supplied by the ARC, and both sides test that the correct alarm appears under the correct customer account.
Roombanker supports SIA DC-09 and ADM-CID / Contact ID reporting. The installer and ARC agree which reporting method to use for the project.
MCDI support remains available
MCDI remains part of Roombanker’s current ARC integration support.
Before a site goes live, the installer and ARC confirm the receiver details, account number and test event. They then trigger the agreed event and check the result together.
This final check makes sure both sides are looking at the same customer account and the same alarm event.
