SC1200 As A Personal Assistance Voice Dialer

The X10 SC1200A Supervised Security Console with automatic dialer calls friends or relatives in the event of a break in, and plays a message (in your voice). Your friend or neighbor can listen in to your home through the Console’s microphone, and call the police if there’s a problem. Accessories include battery powered Radio Frequency (RF) Door/Window Sensors, battery powered RF Motion Detectors, and RF Keyfob Remote Controls for arming and disarming the system. Some of the accessories available are shown below. The models you purchase may vary from those shown below. See your owner’s manual or visit www.x10.com for more information.

The SC1200 has many uses. It can be used as a supervised security console, or a personal assistant voice dialer. It can also be used as a timer, phone controller or mounted controller for x10 modules. The SC1200 is a versatile system and is the central hub for your x10 automation and security systems.

For these purposes we will go into detail on how to setup the system to work as a personal assistant voice dialer. This allows a person to press a single button on either a heart pendant (HP564) or keyfob remote (KR32A) to trigger 3-way assistance by flashing lights, screaming siren, and personal monitoring. The Personal Assistance can call up to 6 numbers that you program into the system and play a pre-recorded message to each person, then allow each person to "listen" in so they can hear what's going on. You could have the system call your cell phone at work, then 2 of your neighbors, then three other family members. It's like your own monitoring service, yet with no monthly fees
