Paradox PCS265V8-5HC Dual-SIM LTE Communicator Module (MQTT Protocol)

The Paradox PCS265V8-5HC is a next-generation LTE/4G cellular communication module featuring native MQTT protocol architecture. Engineered to provide ultra-fast, secure, and reliable communication for Paradox EVOHD+, EVO Series, Spectra SP+, and Magellan control panels, it enables seamless reporting to central monitoring stations (CMS) as well as continuous real-time connectivity to end-user mobile applications such as Paradox BlueEye.

Equipped with dual Nano-SIM card slots, the PCS265V8-5HC guarantees redundant cellular network switching for uninterrupted system communication. The V8 series implementation utilizes efficient MQTT data transmission for near-instantaneous push notifications, reduced bandwidth overhead, and enhanced communication stability. Supplied in a non-battery configuration, this unit draws power directly from the control panel's serial connection or auxiliary power supply, ensuring hassle-free installation and maintenance.

Key System Features & Functionality

• MQTT Protocol Architecture: Advanced MQTT protocol ensures ultra-low latency, instant push notifications, and ultra-reliable data exchange with Paradox cloud services and mobile apps.

• Dual Nano-SIM Redundancy: Features dual SIM card slots with auto-failover capability to maintain continuous cellular reporting across two independent network providers.

• High-Speed LTE / 4G Transmission: Multi-band LTE cellular engine ensures rapid data transfer for primary or backup reporting to central stations (SIA / Contact ID over IP).

• Extended Panel Distance via RS-485: Connects directly via panel serial header or over an extended RS-485 bus layout (up to 300 m / 1,000 ft from the main panel).

• Mobile App & SMS Notifications: Supports push notification alerts via the BlueEye mobile app and custom SMS messaging for system alarms, troubles, and partition arming states.

• Non-Battery Design: Designed without an internal backup battery, eliminating periodic battery replacements while relying on main panel auxiliary power.
