The ECi system is an expandable, flexible security system which also allows for access control & 3rd party high level integration. This main controller has 8 inputs and 4 outputs on board along with an ethernet port. There are to expansion sockets fitted to allow for the use of
ECi-Dial – for PSTN based alarm reporting
4G-IP Module – for ethernet + 4G fallback reporting
ECi-RS232 – for bi directional serial data for high level interfacing

System capacity
248 Inputs with EOL selectable by zone. EOL options also include DEOL for zone & tamper options. Input expansion is achieved by use of EC-Z8 input expansion boards
32 Areas No additional hardware or memory chips are required.
32 Keypads Keypads may be a mixture of traditional LCD, touch screen, or the all new EC-KP
32 Outputs Output expansion is achieved by use of the EC-O4
32 Doors of access control EC-A2 boards are used to allow connectivity of Wiegand type readers
32 Schedules These schedules can be used to allow users access during limited times, to auto arm & optionally disarm areas and trigger outputs.
RS232 The system also supports serial data via the ECi-RS232 plug on board. This data may be used for high level interfacing to permaconn or 3rd party devices / systems like Control 4 or ELAN
