Product Information

Full details

The Veritas R8 is designed for homeowners and small business owners who require a reliable, hardwired security foundation for their property. Its primary benefit is the combination of a robust, tamper-resistant wired control panel and integrated GSM communication, which ensures you receive real-time alerts directly on your mobile device. While the system is highly dependable, it requires professional or semi-professional knowledge of low-voltage electrical wiring for installation, making it less suitable for those looking for a simple plug-and-play wireless solution.
