General Overview
The iBrid
ge
®
IB
R-ZREMOTE is a Local and Remote Control Module and Z-
Wave
®
Controller that allows control of security, video, locking, lighting and
climate control from inside or outside your home. Z-Wave devices may be
enrolled, removed and formed into a Z-Wave wireless home control
network, and also integrated with Napco's iBridge suite of services that
includes access to the iSee Video remote video Internet monitoring
system.
Compatibility with the iSee Video VideoAlert system allows an email or text
message to be sent when a selected control panel event occurs. In
addition, acting as a wireless Z-Wave controller, the IBR-ZREMOTE can
trigger Z-Wave network devices upon control panel events. For example,
upon system arming the IBR-ZREMOTE can turn lights on or off, adjust
thermostats, email video clips, etc.
The IBR-ZREMOTE is wired to the control panel keypad bus, and
continually monitors all changes to the status of the system and triggers
actions based on user or dealer entered programming.
Note:
This device is a security enabled Z-Wave product that is able to
use encrypted Z-Wave messages to communicate to other security
enabled Z-Wave products. This product can be included and operated in
any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from any other
manufacturers. All constantly powered nodes in the same network will act
as repeaters regardless of the vendor in order to increase reliability of the
network. For an

iBridge Online
To access the IBR-ZREMOTE remotely via PC, tablet or smart phone, or
to provide remote services for a customer, the dealer must have an iBridge
online account. Go to
www.ibridgeonline.com
to access your existing
account or register for a new account. Device apps are available for
iPhones, iPads and Android devices from their respective apps markets.
Remote Control
With the IBR-ZREMOTE
, actions performed at the keypad can be
performed remotely
. Add the IBR-ZREMOTE to a Napco control panel by
simply programming an additional keypad address into the control panel,
set the IBR-ZREMOTE to this new keypad address and enroll the IBR-
ZREMOTE into your subscribers account.
Alarm Reporting
The IBR-ZREMOTE is also an Internet reporting module, capable of
reporting alarms and events to any central station equipped with the Napco NetLink NL-RCV-RMPCUL central station
receiver or NetLink NL-CSRCV central station software application. The IBR-ZREMOTE also permits high speed
upload/download of the control panel through the Internet. Refer to manuals WI1491 (NL-RCV-RMPCUL) and OI294
(NL-CSRCV) for details.
Overview: Home Control Network
A home control network is a system used for controlling lights, appliances, air conditioning, heating, burglary alarm
systems and other devices within a home or office. Z-Wave is a reliable and robust wireless home control network
standard created by Zensys, Inc. (
www.zen-sys.com
), operating within an interconnected "mesh" network where at least
two pathways exist for each device (thus if one pathway fails, another is still available). In addition, Z-Wave devices
operate within the 902-928 MHz band, and therefore will not interfere with Wi-Fi and other devices using the 2.4 GHz
band.
The simplest Z-Wave network consists of a primary "controller" and single controllable device or "node" such as a light
switch, thermostat, etc. Additional controllers and devices can be "included" into (or "excluded" from) the network at any
