    Hi all,
    Just wondering if you can add something to the alarm panel of a HKC alarm with the male voice to enable it to work with the HKC app ?

    Depends on how old your panel board is. I have a 10 y.o. panel and up to about 2 years ago the add-on gsm card would send a text on alarm event. Due to changes in comms tech, text stopped working, but it still rang my phone.
    I had to replace my panel with a newer version to use with the app.
    Guess you'd have to do the same.

    No, you have the Securewatch range of HKC Panels.


    The Securecomm service is compatible with the Securewave range.

    Yes my panel is 11 years old and it also had the text add on on it but then got rid of the phone. Thanks for the reply.

    We do not discuss prices on thread, get onto your original installer and get a quote there first, should you like you can get quotes off others in your own area.
    Well done on wondering the cost of replacing the panel as that, with the keypad and possibly battery is all that is required, of course with a full check on all of your detectors and warning devices also.
