Establishing home Alarm Monitoring without tel line?
I have not had regular telephone service in years. I want to connect my Home Security System to a monitoring service. I can’t justify paying the $40/mth just for the use of the monitoring svc. Has anyone used a straight (not VOIP, vonage, etc) internet connection for alarm monitoring?
Many alarm panel mfg’s have internet transmission modules. DSC, Ademco and now Paradox have modules which can accomodate your needs. There are also several universal versions which can connect to almost any alarm panel on the market.
The disadvantage of IP transmission is your reliance on AC Power. Unless your Router and modem have a battery back-up, you are SOL in the case of a power failure.
Another available option is Cellular, GSM, or long range radio transmission. DSC and Ademco have their own versions and there are also universal versions out there, I use uplink for telco back up with my customers.
