3) Important features of the system with Carman mobile software
Reasons to use this device:
For more convenience and increase in the range of your control (almost unlimited), there is a software you can find in the CD, which can control Carman system remotely. This software works like an advanced video panel. For further information please find the help file in the
CD. In order to send a command by the software, you have to know the password and also insert the SIM card code in Carman. Note that everyone who knows this password and SIM card code, can easily access your anti-theft system, so keep the password safe and do not inform untrustedpeople about it. Moreover, you should submit your phone number as a user name on the system, in orderto receive alarms on your cell phone. Extra users can be addedlater on in the “advanced settings” menu. For example, two trusted cell phone numbers like your children’s or your wife’s can be added to the system so that they will be informed in necessary times. Carman system can receive commands only on your cell phone, for more security. To do so, you should submit your cell phone number as user 1.
