IPcom v5 Linux is Trikdis's software IP receiver for your own server or virtual machine. It receives the events of all Trikdis communicators and control panels, processes and supervises them, and forwards them to your CMS software – inside your own infrastructure, under your full control.

It is the option for large installations and server-based stations: capacity scales with the allocated resources, up to 50,000 objects per 1 GB of RAM, and a single instance sustains tens of thousands of concurrent device connections.

The same platform runs inside the ready-to-use RL25 receiver: browser-managed, stable, supported long term, and it relays events to the Protegus 2 app as well.

Key features

Up to 50,000 supervised objects per 1 GB of RAM – multi-threaded, high-throughput event processing
Input from communicators: TCP / UDP / COM (RS232)
Output to CMS software: Ademco 685, Surgard MLR2 / MLR2000, Monas3, SIA DC-09
Integration: TCP client / server, RS232, JSON, Webhook, SQL database (MySQL); Split / Multi-Port reporting
Protegus 2 relay: events reach the monitoring station and the end user's app alike, and control works in the other direction too
Web-based management (HTTP / HTTPS): live status dashboard, system log, user-level change audit trail
Multiple virtual receivers on one IP address with different ports; account override at receiver level
Remote device configuration and control via TrikdisConfig; remote software update from the web interface
Multi-level user list with granular rights and login-by-IP restriction

System requirements

Debian Stable, amd64 (x86_64) – physical server or virtual machine; ARM is not supported
Baseline deployment: 4 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD
Large object load (around 100,000): 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD; with database enabled 256 GB enterprise SSD

Licensing

The Linux edition is licensed according to the size of the project – ask for a quote and we help with sizing and rollout. If you would rather not run a server of your own, the RL25 brings the same receiver preinstalled.

Frequently asked questions

What is Protegus 2, and does it require a subscription?

Protegus 2 is the 2nd generation of Trikdis's cloud app: control your alarm system from your phone and get instant notifications. We recommend it for every current internet-connected Trikdis device. The user app is free; the paid, usage- (customer-) based tier is for monitoring stations, installers and companies.

Can the Trikdis communicator's firmware be updated?

Yes, using the TrikdisConfig programming software (via USB or remotely). The latest firmware is recommended for the best compatibility and security.

Can I try Protegus 2 before buying?

Yes: Protegus 2 can be tried on a live demo system, without installation or purchase — from a browser and from the mobile app too. This lets you see in advance what arming, notifications, and system status look like on a working alarm system.

Is there a Wi-Fi Trikdis communicator device?

There is no standalone Trikdis communicator that communicates exclusively over Wi-Fi, but the SIM-card communicators can be extended with the W485 Wi-Fi expansion module. There is also a purely Wi-Fi version, as well as a Wi-Fi + SIM 4G version, of the FLEXi SP3 alarm panel.

Which devices can forward SMS received on the SIM card to the customer's phone?

Currently the FLEXi SP3, the CG17, and the GV17 support SMS forwarding; this feature is not yet available on the other devices.

How long does Protegus 2 store events?

Protegus 2 typically retains the event list for up to two months; with a large volume of events, this period may shorten to as little as one month.

Why won't the TRIKDIS communicator start with a Paradox SP4000 alarm panel, or why does it keep restarting?

The AUX power output of the Paradox SP4000 alarm panel has limited load capacity. In certain cases — whether using a dedicated or a universal TRIKDIS communicator — the communicator's current draw can place too much load on the AUX output. As a result, the communicator may become unstable, restart, or fail to operate correctly.

Experience shows that the problem is usually solved by powering the TRIKDIS communicator directly from the alarm panel's battery terminals (+/-) instead of from the AUX output. This provides a stable power supply and eliminates the restart or operational issues.

Note: Before changing the wiring, always check that the system complies with the manufacturer's specifications and that the total load on the power supply does not exceed the permitted value.
