Cut Protection Cellular Communications Backup
Most
alarm systems use standard phone lines to communicate with
the monitoring station. Phone lines are generally very reliable,
however it should be understood that if the line is not functioning
for any reason, signals cannot be sent to the monitoring station.
Phone lines can be interrupted due to natural disasters such
as fires, storms or earthquakes or due to failure of the telephone
companys lines or equipment. Occasionally phone lines
are cut by intruders before they break in.
If
the possibility of line failure is of concern to you we can
provide a cellular communicator that enables your alarm system
to communicate with us using your existing phone line and
the cellular network. If either service is interrupted the
system can still report all alarm conditions to the monitoring
station over the cellular network. The cost to supply and
install a cellular alarm communicator is approximately $300.
There is also a cellular service fee of $14.95 per month.
