We have elevators,alarms and sensors all over the county and in all
sorts of businesses and factories.
No issues as of late but we have placed gennys at the major sites that
make sense and some battery back up where it makes sense.
With our lightning sensor I am able to log when a site has to go off
line for a few minutes and come back due to nearby lightning.

In my opinion, alarms should be connected to a reliable cellular
provider like Verizon or AT&T who typically have backup generators.
Cellular will be more reliable than a residential internet connection
and there's some level of redundancy in the fact if one cell tower
goes down, it easily fails over to the next closest tower since it's a
mobile service.
I don't recommend anything critical like alarms, fire, and medical
systems to be only on an internet connection.

Having the alarm company call at every outage I think is standard
practice. Then if anything happens, it's not their fault.. The
Fire alarm I manage has an RF connection to the alarm company.
The Battery in their RF Transmitter was going bad (In a box only
they had a key to), and there was a lot of construction going on.
Every time the power flashed, I got a call that the system had
gone offline.

What happened to guard dogs?
My wife’s grandfather owned basically a junkyard for farmers,
and he had guard peacocks.

I’m used to customers with webcams, and all the issues
those involve. But I just had a customer call saying they
bought an alarm system that every time the Internet goes
down, the alarm company calls them. In this case she says
their Internet doesn’t work until they restart their
router (not from us), so I assume it’s a router issue.
Maybe the new alarm system is doing UPnP stuff and messing
with the router.
But in general, is this reasonable? Every time the
customer has a power outage or, god forbid, we do system
maintenance like firmware upgrades, the alarm company is
going to be calling them and pointing at finger at their ISP?
