Not FunnyWhen they do network maintenance between 12am-6am Your CDV phone will not work to call the police or fire.
Your alarm will be worthless as well. The system won't be able to let anyone know your home is being broken into while they have things down.
No thanks. | |

Re: Not FunnyThe system has cellular backup.
The monitoring is data, not on the CDV service. | |

Completely incorrect.
The system comes with a cellular backup for use during times of power outages or system outages. | |

Re: can you trust comcast for your homeI think it is a cool product and I like that they're trying to expand their networking capabilities, but I don't think I would subscribe to this. | |

I thing they use the same type of contractors that ADT and others use so it's about the same. | |

Hah...If there's a break-in, the cops will show up sometime between 8am and 5pm on a Wednesday. But if there's a break-in on a Sunday, you'll have to wait for the next business day for them to show up. | |

If a Comcast tech wants to break in to a house, now he'll have access to a list of houses with the service and the ability to turn it off for himself. We've all seen the antics of the Comcast techs in the past. | |

From what I have heard, the installer codes can not be used to disarm the system if it was not armed using the installer code. | |

Re: Hah...said by ilikeme:From what I have heard, the installer codes can not be used to disarm the system if it was not armed using the installer code. Well there's 2 things to consider... first, even if a rogue installer doesn't know the code, he knows enough about the details of the security system to not have to need it. The code might not be needed if you live in a place like San Jose, or if you are savvy enough to be able to prevent the system from contacting the monitoring service. Secondly, all a security system can do is deter someone from breaking in, it can't physically stop someone who wants to break into your house. If someone really wants to break in, they'll find a way to do it. | |

If there is a break-in in San Jose, CA, the cops will NEVER show up. Due to budget cutbacks, they will no longer respond to automated alarms. If a neighbor calls to report a burglary they see in progress, they will respond to that, but that's it. | |
