The version v1.1.5 has been released.

I recently purchased a DSC TL150 module and installed it in a DSC 832 PC5010 system. It works OK in local network via a web interface, but it’s difficult to check the system status from outside of your network.

In order to view the system status from anywhere, I built a Windows service application and installed it in my home server. The Windows service running on 24/7 and pulls data from TL150 periodically. It can be configured to sends an alert email when any zone opening is detected. In addition, the service can be configured FTP an HTML to a user specified web server so the system status can be viewed anywhere through a web browser. I use it to check the opening/closing status in my iPhone all the time.

Here are the main features for v1.0:

1. Pull TL-150 data every 15 seconds
2. All data logged in different log files by date and hours for easy searching
3. Send alert email when a zone is triggered (configurable)
4. FTP a HTML to a web server (configurable)
5. Email monitor scheduled by a global setting or by day of week setting

I have tested it on WinXP Pro and Win2003 Server and it works great. Here are some screenshots from my iPhone.



The version v1.1.

The new features in v1.1 are,
1. Send email when the event changes such as arm, disarm and alarm trip.
2. A new nqtWeb package that allow you arm/disarm the system remotely through web browser.
