The Home/Facility Detention RF Monitoring Receiver is an advanced unit with integrated cellular and landline modems used for monitoring the presence of a transmitter worn by the monitored individual within a defined perimeter. Data transfer and two-way communication with the body-worn transmitter are fully encrypted to prevent cloning and spoofing attacks. The Home/Facility Detention receiver has both local and remote programming interfaces so that program configuration and curfew schedules can be tailored for each monitored person.
