RE: RE: [Asterisk-Users] ADT/Brinks alarm dialing through Asterisk
A secondary issue may be insurance. In a domestic situation, if you receive a discount for having an alarm installed, you may find that the insurance discount is only valid if the alarm is installed over POTS, and usually by hardwiring. This is for actuarial reasons, that is to say the premiums are based on the reliability of POTS. Any rerouting of alarm over VOIP could invalidate your insurance leaving you uninsured! Cheers Rajiv I would stick with POTS over using the internet. With the internet there are more points of failure (IMO). As far as people cutting the wires we have both. We have a reg. pots line and a prepaid cell phone connected in for backup.

Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: A secondary issue may be insurance. In a domestic situation, if you receive a discount for having an alarm installed, you may find that the insurance discount is only valid if the alarm is installed over POTS, and usually by hardwiring. This is for actuarial reasons, that is to say the premiums are based on the reliability of POTS. Any rerouting of alarm over VOIP could invalidate your insurance leaving you uninsured! Generally, to receive the discount, there is some language surrounding a UL listed central station. Dialup POTS is one way alarms are connected to central stations. There are also systems which use a dedicated (non-dial) line, IP, Cellular and even a relatively new system which uses the skytel pager network to communicate.
