All You Need to Know About the Bosch Solution 6000 Integrated Alarm and Building Access System (Part 1)
ABOUT BOSCH SOLUTION 6000
In its smallest form the Bosch Solution 6000 Alarm System is a 16-zone alarm panel, SCC610, that works with the CP722 Prox Reader Keypad, (Black CP732B and Wi-Fi CP741 Keypads also available), and Intrusion Detectors such as the ISC-BPR2-W12 Bosch Blue Line Gen2 PIR. However, Solution 6000 is capable of much more than being a simple alarm system through its scalable architecture, control and communication options. On this page we outline the key components of the Solution 6000 Alarm and Access System, its capabilities and installer/user benefits, as well as providing downloadable resources for electronic security professionals and their customers.
Alarm and Access System Ideal for Large Homes and Small to Medium Buildings
The Solution 6000 Alarm & Access System is ideal for large houses and small to medium business, commercial, and government sites. It is the panel many security installers go to before requiring to use larger intrusion and access control systems, such as Tecom Challenger and Inner Range Integriti, which are more suitable for very extensive and enterpise wide applications.
