Quicktalk RQT – Sensor Monitoring, Voice-Alerting Radio Transmitter

Category:

Description

Monitor virtually any process or condition 24/7/365 over your 2-way radio system. Wireless alerting empowers your staff to respond to emergencies more quickly, to prevent costly damage or reduce disruptive downtime. Monitor temperature, liquid level, power-fail, moisture, vandal/tamper alarm, panic alarm, door ajar…etc. The RQT is an industrial-grade, radio transmitter with on-board switch inputs and recordable voice messages. Connect up to 4 different sensors or switches to the RQT and record a corresponding voice message for each, when the sensor or switch detects a change, your custom voice message will be immediately transmitted to the appropriate radio-equipped personnel.

The RQT is compatible with any VHF or UHF business band 2-way radio and can even be programmed to work with radio repeaters.
