DSC Security Keypad

About this app

This is a DSC keypad emulator that allows you to use your android phone as an additional local keypad (for example beside your bed at night, no wiring required). It allows your phone to be part of your home automation and home monitoring system.

This app works with an Envisalink 2DS or 3DS card connected to a DSC Power System Panel and LAN wired into your switch or router. It can be used with a wifi or ethernet capable phone or tablet connected to your router. Use of the EYEZ-ON service is highly recommended but is not required.

DO NOT expose your Envisalink IP connection or the HTTP page to an unprotected network; communication provided by the Envisalink card is not secure.

This DscKeypad app and more is included with the full DscServer also available on Google Play. The DscServer extends the Envisalink card to allow self monitoring and secure remote access, and extends the Envisalink TPI to support multiple DscKeypad clients. The DscServer can become part of your total home automation system, rivaling those like Rogers Smart Home Monitoring, Time Warner's IntelligentHome, and more. Have a look on Google Play or on my developer's website (below) for more details.

If you require external access (outside your firewall), use the EYEZ-ON service, or use the DscServer (with it's built in DscKeypad) or an SSH server bridge. Again, see my developer's website for details.

This is a truly free app with no advertising. If you wish to support it's continue development, consider purchase and use of the DscServer.

Ratings and reviews

I used this app first time and is very easy to configure and use. It works great with my existing DSC1832. Only I could not get program done with mobile instead of keypad. I am very impressed with this app.

Great app. Looks very similar to the real keypad and it displays the zone names instead of just numbers. More importantly, sent email to the Developer and he responded the next day.

It's working good this morning. Thanks.
