Re: VOIP for home securit system?
Well, i called up my security system and they said they dont really know how it works thru voip or if thats possible for them to do (he said we've never had to do anything like this b4, but says it should be possible, he just doesnt know how yet), but hes looking into it. (its one of our friends, so hes gonna call up other companies/ppl and see if he can get some info)
He suggested cellular transmission, but the equipment for that is like $200 or so and like a $7 charge extra a month, which in the long run would save more money.
Nextalarm sounds good, but i dont really wanna switch, since nextalarm doesnt provide any equipment or repairs, and right now i get free repairs and equipment and upgrades thru the company im with.
Hes gonna call me back and tell me what he finds out. |

| Dude when was the last time you alarm panel stopped working? In the last 13 years all I had to do in three different alarm systems is change the backup battery with a replacement from Radio Shack. I switched to NextAlarm and could not be any happier. With the money I am saving I could easily pay for any repairs in the future, but I doubt I will have to. |

Well, be sure to give him the URL for that web page »michigantelephone.mi.org/distribute.html because some of the information there may well be helpful to him. |

heh, well true, havnet really had any repairs or anything done in a LONG time, i could just upgrade the panel n stuff and then switch to nextalarm, but the cost looks like the same as if i decided to go cellular way.
How hard/easy is it to setup w/ nextalarm? Am in required to go into the alarm box or is it just plug it in and ur set? |

Grand Prairie, TX | You do not have to upgrade your alarm panel. You give NextAlarm your panel model and they will help you program it for their service using the key pads. It takes 15-20 minutes to do it. |
