Re: VOIP for home securit system?
Power outage: Use a good uninterruptable power supply. Make sure your DSL modem, router, alarm unit, and any other equipment associated with the alarm (such as the device that NextAlarm sends you if you use them) are all plugged into the UPS.
DSL down: In that case you're screwed, but that would be the case if you phone service is interrupted using your present system, so unless your DSL is far less reliable than basic phone service it shouldn't be an issue. Of course some alarms do use a backup method of communication that travels over the cell phone network, but I would guess those are pretty expensive. |
