Paradox IPC10-P2C IP to CMS Converter Receiver (5000 Accounts, 19" 1U)

Product Overview

The Paradox IPC10-P2C (IPC10) is a high-capacity, enterprise-grade IP-to-CMS receiver and converter designed for central monitoring stations (CMS) and large security deployments. Housed in a standard 19-inch 1U rack-mountable chassis, it receives encrypted IP events over LAN/WAN or cellular networks from Paradox IP modules (IP150+ / IP180) and cellular communicators (PCS265 / PCS265LTE), converting them into standard automation protocols (SIA / Contact ID) for seamless transmission to monitoring station software via serial RS-232 or Ethernet ports.

Engineered for ultra-reliable, continuous operation, the IPC10 supports up to 5,000 individual account profiles with a default 5-minute supervision polling interval to verify line integrity automatically. All communication between field reporting hardware and the IPC10 converter is safeguarded using military-grade AES 128-bit encryption. Featuring redundant power management, comprehensive web-interface administration, and real-time supervision loss alerts, the IPC10 provides a robust bridge between modern IP alarm reporting networks and traditional CMS automation engines.
