Fling - SMS Gateway by App-Techs

Stay Informed at All Times with Text Alerts

Fling is a reliable SMS gateway developed by App-Techs for fast and secure message delivery. It’s designed for access control systems, video management platforms, video analytics, and any application where instant notifications are critical.

Fling puts alerts in your pocket, rather than your inbox. Rather than relying on email for security‑critical messages, use text alerts for clearer urgency and near‑instant awareness of the situation.

Flexible Configuration

Fling is configured in minutes. No mobile app needed, completely server-side. By using SMS, mobile devices require zero set-up to receive alerts. Provide context for security events with both text and images. URL links are also supported.

Event‑specific routing ensures the right recipients are alerted based on the type of event. Fling also leverages customizable schedules, so administrators can define what times of day and which days of the week messages are delivered.

For example:

• Locked door is propped open - immediate delivery to security personnel.

 

• Data center power outage - sent 24/7 to a technical support list.

 

• Unknown vehicle arriving in parking lot - limited to business hours only.

 

• Intruder Alert - sends an image to all designated contacts.

How It Works

The Fling workflow follows a straightforward process:

• Access Control or Milestone Service - detects an event (e.g., door access, alarm, or system notification).

 

• Management Server - receives the event, processes it, and generates an email alert.

 

• Fling SMS Gateway - Converts the alert to SMS and routes it to the appropriate contact list by event type.

 

• SMS Alert - can be received by any mobile phone; no app required.

 

This architecture ensures secure and uninterrupted message delivery, even when internet access is unavailable on the recipient’s side.
