Paradox IP180-IPW Internet Communication Module (MQTT, 4 Receivers, Ethernet & Wi-Fi with Antenna)

The Paradox IP180-IPW is a dual-interface IP communication module designed to deliver high-speed, encrypted alarm reporting and remote system management over Ethernet and Wi-Fi networks. Featuring lightweight MQTT protocol communication, the IP180-IPW enables instant event transmission and continuous keep-alive reporting to up to 4 independent central station receivers (IPR512 / IPC10) simultaneously.

Equipped with an onboard RJ45 Fast Ethernet port and an integrated Wi-Fi module complete with an external Wi-Fi antenna ("IPW" variant), this module provides flexible primary and backup reporting channels (Wi-Fi with Ethernet backup or vice versa). Connectable directly to the serial header of Paradox Spectra SP, Magellan MG, and Digiplex EVO control panels, it enables seamless end-user control via the Paradox BlueEye mobile application and remote programming using BabyWare PC software.

Key System Features & Functionality

• MQTT Protocol Communication: Uses low-latency, encrypted MQTT protocol for immediate event transmission, live status synchronization, and reliable server connectivity.

• Dual Connectivity (Ethernet + Wi-Fi): Features both a hardwired 10/100 RJ45 Ethernet port and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi transceiver with an included external antenna for wireless flexibility.

• Quad Receiver Redundancy: Supports concurrent reporting to up to 4 central station IP receivers with automatic network channel failover.

• Paradox BlueEye & BabyWare Compatible: Provides full mobile app control, push notifications, and remote installer programming over secure IP paths.

• Multi-Panel Compatibility: Plugs directly into the onboard serial header of Paradox Spectra SP, Magellan MG, and Digiplex EVO panels.

• High-Grade Encryption: Utilizes 128-bit/256-bit AES data encryption to safeguard network communication against unauthorized tampering.
