Most of the major home security company connect lines do not work with VOIP, I've since learned. Why? The signal goes out of your house just exactly as it does with a landline. Brinks works just great with VOIP |

Most of the major home security company connect lines do not work with VOIP, I've since learned. Why? The signal goes out of your house just exactly as it does with a landline. Brinks works just great with VOIP Well, despite advice to the contrary from Reggie and his boy Herring, ADT says the following: IMPORTANT INFORMATION For ADT® Customers Considering Changes To Your Home Telephone Service Including: * Voice Over Internet Protocol Telephone Service (VoIP) * Other Non-Standard Telephone Service * Elimination of Your Landline Telephone Service If you have changed or are considering changing your home telephone service to Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) or other types of non-standard telephone service, or eliminating your traditional landline telephone service altogether, it is important that you contact ADT at 1-800-ADT-ASAP immediately. you may have disconnected your ADT security system and ADT may not receive alarm signals from your home. It is important for you to test your system to determine whether the change to VoIP or other non-standard telephone service has affected your alarm system. If necessary, ADT can help you test your system and will arrange for a service visit. Do not rely on a non-ADT technician to make your ADT system operational if you have made any changes to your telephone service. Important considerations you should know regarding VoIP or other changes to our home telephone service*: * The Internet has not proven to be as reliable as regular telephone service. Some VoIP services may be temporarily unavailable due to scheduled or unscheduled network outages. You may be familiar with such lapses in service based on your own experiences using the Internet. * Alarm signals that are transmitted over the Internet are more susceptible to loss and distortion versus traditional, landline-based telephone signals. * With VoIP or some other types of non-standard telephone services, power to your phone comes from your home-not the telephone company; so you should have a battery backup to help keep your Internet network equipment working when power to your home is off. While your ADT alarm panel already has a battery backup to help assure continued operation during a loss of power, this battery backup will not power VoIP or non-standard telephone service. * ADT may lose the ability to program your alarm system remotely via your phone connection and could require a service call if changes are required. * Your ADT alarm control panel is designed to "seize" control of the telephone line in front of all telephone extensions in the house in order to transmit alarm data. This important feature allows the alarm system to transmit alarm information to the ADT Customer Monitoring Center even when phone extensions are left off the hook. Some VoIP installations may jeopardize this important feature. * If you eliminate your landline telephone or change your telephone number, please contact ADT immediately to update your contact information. Your safety and security is ADT's number one priority-That's why ADT always recommends maintaining a basic landline telephone service for the transmission of ADT alarm signals. Regardless of the type of telephone service that you choose, it is important to test your alarm system regularly to assure that it is communicating to ADT. In the event you do not keep landline telephone service, ADT recommends an alternate or additional method of alarm signal transmission. For this reason, ADT is offering special packages on ADT Safewatch Cellguard,® which provides your home with a cellular connection to ADT,** bypassing your home telephone service altogether, and thus addressing the security monitoring issues that can be associated with some VoIP and other emerging technologies. Safewatch Cellguard® can help keep your home connected to ADT even if you make a change to VoIP or to some other types of non-standard telephone service, or if you eliminate your traditional landline-based telephone service altogether.*** For more information on ADT's Safewatch Cellguard and our special packages for customers with VoIP service, please call 1-800-ADT-ASAP. * Aspects of these considerations may vary dependent upon your VoIP or other non-standard telephone service provider and change with new developments in Internet technology. You should always check with your VoIP or other non-standard telephone service provider to confirm any advantages and limitations of their service. Additional information on VoIP is available at www.fcc.gov/voip. **Cellular connection relies on operating cellular device and network services. ***ADT's recommendations regarding additional or alternate cellular connection apply to Burglar Alarm services only. While cellular devices can transmit fire alarm signals, transmission of fire alarm signals by means other than a standard telephone line may not be in compliance with national household fire alarm standards or some local fire codes. *I* advised you to switch? Reggie advised you to switch? Both of us told you *not* to switch due to all the problems you have. -- ****************************************** ***** Hope your day is great! ***** ****************************************** John |

Well, despite advice to the contrary from Reggie and his boy Herring, ADT says the following: Harry, I have no idea what you are talking about, the only advice I gave you in reference to your security system was to discontinue the service and keep the sign. I didn't discuss VOIP or MABell. According to the police in my area the normal response time for a security alarm is over 90 minutes. Before anyone invests a penny in a security system, they need to call their local police dept. and ask them what their normal response time for a home security alarm is. As I said, the cop who responded to my neighbors alarm told me 99.999999999% of the alarms are false alarms so they are always the lowest of priorities. |
