Description
Mobeye Argos – Battery Powered Wireless GSM Alarm
The Mobeye Argos Battery Powered GSM Alarm i200 is a stand-alone PIR alarm system. User-friendly, flexible and very reliable. The ideal system for powerless locations and temporary security applications. The i200 is based on the success of the Mobeye i110 PIR and adds extra functions for more flexibility.
The Mobeye Argos is a complete, compact and self-monitored GSM alarm system, with a full range of options. It is completely self-contained on batteries with a built-in GSM dialer, PIR motion detector and temperature sensor. When a break-in is detected, the Argos sends an alarm by SMS/phone call, optionally a siren sounds. The contacts receiving the call can start the listen-in function to hear what is happening locally. There is also an option to acknowledge the alarm notification so that the device does not call the other contacts afterwards.
The Mobeye i200 has two additional inputs for floating sensors, two relay outputs to control (optional, remote) devices and a choice between battery-powered and externally powered.
Battery Operated GSM Alarm System
The Mobeye Argos is a battery powered alarm system. Due to the extremely energy-efficient design, the supplied batteries have a long life; it can run for over a year on a single set of batteries, even with a daily “keep-alive” notification. The batteries used are ‘standard’ CR123 batteries (common battery type in alarm systems and cameras). It will send battery low text message in time.
However, external power can be used by connecting a mains adapter or a 9-32VDC power supply, which provides some additional benefits, such as a power failure alarm in the event of a power failure.
A SIM card from any telephone provider can be placed (normal size), possibly prepaid.
Dialler burglar alarm
Optionally, the Mobeye Argos can be connected to the web-based Mobeye Internet Portal to forward (alarm) messages to additional telephone numbers and mail accounts. A name can be set to accompany the message. The Mobeye Portal with Mobeye SIM card offers security benefits, extra functions and a complete dashboard. The portal also monitors ‘keep-alive’ messages.

Temperature sensor
The internal temperature sensor monitors a minimum or maximum temperature limit. These are adjustable between -10 and +50 degrees Celsius. If the temperature becomes too cold or too hot, an alarm message is sent with the temperature. The temperature alarm can be used independently of the burglary detection feature. If only temperature monitoring is required, a Mobeye temperature monitor is recommended.
