Cell Phone Backup for your Security System
Posted on April 15th, 2010 1 commentSecurity Systems that are monitored by a central station depend on a reliable phone line to communicate the events of your security system. In many cases your phone line can be the weakest link in these communications.
Phone lines entering your home or business typically enter at an insecure location at the outside of the building making it easy prey for a burglary. If the phone line is cut then there is not communication to central station so that the authorities can be notified.
The surest way to prevent this type of occurrence is to have a backup cell unit installed. The cell unit is installed inside the building and is protected by the security system. If the phone line were cut then the cell phone can be programmed to send that event to central station. The cell unit can also communicate all of your alarms while the phone lines are not working.
The GS3060 is such a device offered by DSC and installed by Hue and cry Security. The GS3060 can also be utilized when there is no phone line to the premises. In this case the GS3060 acts as a primary line and communicates all of your alarm signals.
