Designed for Alarm System Takeovers
The CP-TAKEOVER-A is specifically configured for projects where an existing alarm installation is being upgraded to the Alula Connect+ platform. Its translator capability can allow compatible legacy wireless sensors to be retained instead of replacing every field device during the conversion.
This can reduce installation time, equipment replacement, and disruption while providing a path to modern cellular communication, interactive services, Z-Wave automation, and updated touchscreen control.
What Is Included in the Connect+ Takeover Configuration?
Alula identifies the Connect+ Takeover package as a pre-configured kit intended to speed installation and system migration. The CP-TAKEOVER-A configuration includes the core technologies needed for many takeover projects:
- Alula Connect+ security panel
- AT&T cellular communication
- DeviceLink connectivity
- Z-Wave capability
- Translator functionality for compatible legacy wireless sensors
- Slimline Touchpad Pro
Alula Connect+ Security Platform
Connect+ is Alula's professionally installed security and automation platform for residential and small-business applications. The modular architecture allows the panel to support multiple communication paths and services, including cellular alarm reporting, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Z-Wave automation, touchpads, and takeover translators.
Alula designed Connect+ around configurable expansion modules, allowing dealers to tailor installations to the specific communication, automation, and takeover requirements of each account.
CAT-M1 Cellular Communication
The CP-TAKEOVER-A uses the AT&T cellular configuration. Alula's Connect+ cellular modules provide alarm reporting and interactive services over supported LTE CAT-M1 cellular networks and can serve as a primary or backup communication path depending on system configuration.
Cellular communication helps provide an independent alarm reporting path without relying solely on the premises' broadband connection.
Z-Wave + Legacy Sensor Translator
A key feature of the Takeover configuration is the combination Z-Wave / Translator module. Alula states that its Connect+ translator supports selected legacy wireless sensor protocols, including GE/ITI/Interlogix, Honeywell, 2GIG, DSC, and Napco.
This functionality can make the CP-TAKEOVER-A especially useful when modernizing an existing alarm system because compatible installed wireless sensors may be reused while the control platform, communications, and user interface are upgraded.
Ideal Applications
- Legacy alarm system takeovers
- Security system modernization
- Residential security upgrades
- Small-business security systems
- Cellular communicator upgrades
- Projects retaining compatible existing wireless sensors
- Systems adding Z-Wave automation
- Installations requiring touchscreen control
Why Choose a Pre-Configured Takeover Kit?
Rather than selecting the panel, communication modules, automation components, translator, and touchscreen individually, the CP-TAKEOVER-A packages the core components commonly required for a Connect+ takeover installation. This helps simplify system specification and can reduce installation and programming time for professional security dealers.
Alula Connect+ Kit Comparison
| Kit | Cellular | Translator | Z-Wave | Best Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CP-TAKEOVER-A | AT&T | Yes | Yes | Existing system takeover and modernization |
| CP-CORE-A | AT&T | No | No | Core security installation with cellular communication |
| CP-BUILDER | Configuration dependent | No | Yes | New installations requiring automation capability |
Why select the Takeover Kit? Choose CP-TAKEOVER-A when converting a compatible existing security installation to Connect+ and the project requires AT&T cellular communication, translator support for existing sensors, Z-Wave capability, and touchscreen control.
Compatibility & Ordering Notice
Important: Takeover compatibility depends on the existing security panel, wireless sensor protocol, communication requirements, monitoring configuration, and other installed equipment. Confirm that existing sensors are supported by the Connect+ translator and verify that AT&T cellular service is the appropriate communication option for the installation before ordering. Similar Connect+ kits may use different cellular carriers, modules, accessories, or system configurations.
Alula Connect+ Takeover Kit for Legacy Alarm System Upgrades
The Alula CP-TAKEOVER-A Connect+ Takeover Kit gives professional security installers a practical path for upgrading compatible legacy alarm installations without necessarily replacing every existing wireless sensor. Its combination of AT&T CAT-M1 cellular communication, Z-Wave automation, translator functionality, DeviceLink, and touchscreen control helps bring older security installations onto the modern Connect+ platform.
For residential and small-business takeover projects, CP-TAKEOVER-A provides the core panel, communications, automation, and user-interface technologies needed to modernize compatible systems while helping installers reduce unnecessary equipment replacement and installation time.
