In June, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a statement warning about the rise of illegal cell jammers being brought into the United States. These illegal devices are being used to defeat alarm system communications, allowing thieves to enter compromised facilities undetected. When jammed, cellular alarm signals never make it to the monitoring center and no authorities are dispatched.

In response to these concerns, a manufacturer in the security industry, Digital Monitoring Products (DMP), has introduced a new device that detects when cellular frequencies are being jammed. JamAlert instantly notifies the control panel when cellular communication is being compromised. By detecting cellular jamming on multiple frequencies, it offers a way to mitigate potential losses. 

“JamAlert is positioned to make a huge impact in the industry,” said Jon Adams, vice president of sales at DMP. “The fact that it works with DMP and non-DMP panels offers a wide variety of applications. It’s a security system for your security system.”
