Please log in for more thread options However, I will NOT be installing land line telephone as we will be using cell phones. All of the residential security companies/solutions we've researched so far REQUIRE a land line telephone to connect to their monitoring station. Is anyone aware of an IP based device and/or a service that supports this??? Thanks all. | |||||||||||||||||||

> although it's maybe not exactly what > you're looking for... That isn't even remotely related to what the OP is seeking. There are a few alarm systems on the market which can be connected to the Internet. One which has been discussed in this newsgroup from time to time is the ELK Products ELK-M1G. It's a full-blown home automation controller as well as a UL listed security control. The ELK unit is not cheap though. A complete system can be had through various online stores for just under $1K, including panel, keypad, TCP/IP daughter board, backup battery, siren, etc. The panel supports all of the standard wired sensors, as well as the GE Security (ITI and Caddx) wireless sensors. Another popular model is HAI's Omni Pro which does most of what ELK does. It costs a bit more than the ELK system. On the plus side HAI has more lines of programming than ELK. On the down side, it can't read analog (i.e., 0-10 VDC) devices such as temperature and humidity sensors which ELK can do. Both brands offer all kinds of add-ons. HAI sells dealer and end user software (both $$). ELK includes it with the system though ELK also now offers special-purpose software ($$) for remote control. The ELK TCP/IP board does not require additional software -- just a browser. HAI's Internet control requires software ($$). Another option which the OP should investigate is Honeywell Security (nee: Ademco). They now offer Internet based monitoring of conventional security systems, such as their Vista-20P via an add-on module and a service agreement. The Internet service adds an incremental cost to the monitoring, over and above the basic fee which the central monitoring station will charge. There are several companies that are willing to monitor and support DIY installed alarms over the Internet. Prices are typically between one half and one third what alarm dealers charge for the identical monitoring service. I don't know for certain if 911Alarm offers Internet monitoring but they're a decent outfit -- definitely worth checking. I believe NextAlarm is currently offering TCP/IP monitoring primarily for people who use VoIP telephone service. If there's a broadband connection at the house, installing VoIP might be a good idea anyway. It's cheap and it will give you a second means of calling for help in case the cell service ever fails. If you happen to use Cingular, that is a very real possibility. :^) I mainly cater to people who want to install their own alarms and home automation systems. I don't sell monitoring service but I do sell the rest of the hardware. If you need more information, feel free to contact me during the day. Note: On Weds, June 13, 2007 our phones and email will be out of service all morning as we switch over to a new fiber service. -- Regards, Robert L Bass =============================>
