Inova GSM Control služi za podešavanje i upravljanje GSM alarmnim uređajima putem SMS poruka. UPRAVLJANJE - Uključivanje i isključivanje alarma - Kontrola tri izlaza, sa nazivima koje sami zadajete - Upit stanja uređaja PODEŠAVANJE - Brojevi za dojavu alarma - Tekst dojave po zonama - Broj SMS centra - Promena PIN-a uređaja VIŠE KORISNIKA Uređaj možete podeliti sa drugim nalozima i odrediti šta ko sme — od pune kontrole za servisera do samo praćenja stanja. PIN uređaja pritom ostaje skriven. KAKO RADI Aplikacija priprema tekst SMS komande i otvara vašu aplikaciju za poruke. Poruku šaljete vi, preko svog operatera. Aplikacija ne traži nijednu dozvolu za poruke i ne čita vaš SMS saobraćaj. Napomena: uređaj ne potvrđuje izvršenje komandi, pa prikazano stanje predstavlja poslednju poslatu komandu. Aplikacija nije zamena za nadzorni sigurnosni sistem. Podržani uređaj: G95-SMS
