Description [menu]
This server works a proxy for the Envisalink 2DS/EVL3/EVL4 card connected to a DSC Alarm Panel. It will allow you to, among other things, self monitor your alarm system and allows your phone to work as part of your home monitoring and home automation system. You can remotely access your alarm system from anywhere your phone can access the internet. Use of the EYEZ-ON service is also highly recommended but is not required.
The DscServer runs on a dedicated, always on, always connected android phone or tablet running within your network.
Using it, multiple instances of the DscKeypad App and DscKeypad widgets (included) or other similar applications (such as Mi Casa Verde Vera or other automation products) may connect simultaneously using the "fan-out" capability provided. The DscServer appears to any client as a faster version of the Envisalink card itself with some additional capabilities (e.g. zone and partition labels). The server requirements are very modest, I use an old LG phone to run my entire home automation system. Suitable new android phones are available for $10-$30. This simple automation extension can rival the much more expensive services like Rogers Smart Home and Time Warner's IntelligentHome.
Or run the DscServer on a PC or any other OS supporting java. Use the enhanced DscKeypad included in this app to unlock the extra features included in the android or java version of the DscServer such as remote access. logging, and custom command widgets.
This is a sophisticated server with many capabilities and requires some expertise to configure. I am happy to assist as needed. I do offer a full refund if you're unable to get it to work in your environment or are not satisfied in any way.

- phone/tablet low battery warning
- phone/tablet connectivity loss
- midnight status check-in (to confirm connectivity daily)
- use security events to trigger actions such as posting a web site (e.g. to turn video recording or motion detecting on/off, changing the temperature in a wifi thermostat, turning), send an android intent to other android apps (e.g. my Wemo app to control your lights), etc.
- and much more...
o customizable content for eMail, SMS, UDP messages
o Enables home automation - send the DSC application commands using android intents from Tasker, Automagic, etc.
o On screen widgets for submitting custom commands (locally or remotely)
o NFC support to send custom commands, including arm/disarm, etc.
SMS messages can notify you of alarms or trouble even if the internet connection to your alarm system is cut or if your personal phone is not currently attached to the internet.
Remember, DO NOT expose your Envisalink IP connection to an unprotected network; communication provided by the card is not secure. Expose (port forward) the secure port (only) to outside your secure network (after registering the clients you will allow).
