Getting Rid of your Land Line

Cell phones are so common, many families don't even have a land line anymore. In the past, you would need a landline to transmit signals to Central Station. Those days are over, because new cellular and internet connectivity technology will replace your land line, and at a lower price.

Quality equipment is still important, especially with wireless devices. Do your research, and use only quality brands.

The rules are changing. You can now disarm a system with a RF key chain. Some ethical and systematic issues are now coming into play. (example: what if your key chain is lost? can you erase it as a disarming device?)

Does it monitor it’s operational status and battery life? Why have a wireless smoke detector if you don’t have confidence that it will be functional when there’s a fire?

Are there compatibility issues between the device and other parts of the system.

What options does the wireless device offer to supply the level of security you require. Wireless or wired, there are going to be vulnerabilities.
