Can I use this system overseas? Such as in China? Power switch is no problem. And does it have app that I can control it by iphone?

I don't know about the iphone app, but yes, you can use it overseas, very easy to set up.

I believe you can as long as monitoring companies there can program it. you can use Lynx-touch app on iphone to control but you will need a separate card that goes into the alarm. check more info on total connect.

The lights are ran through an Outlet. I don't know if it will use international power.

You can use this abroad, though be aware that it isn't all that light or travel friendly. First, you must be able to plug this into an ethernet connection (a router, a second NIC on your computer if you have one, or a wall plug if you're in a hotel). As more and more hotels are going with wifi, you'll be able to set this up in fewer and fewer places. Second, it only works on 110-120 volts. This means you have to get more than just the standard plug adapter for foreign outlets (which are usually fine for your laptop, cell phone, ipod, etc., which most likely accept 110v-240v). Instead, you will need a voltage adapter, which are a bit pricier. You'll need one to go from 220/240 to 110/120 to use this in most parts of the world. Plus, be sure to check that the adapter is rated for the correct wattage, as most step-down adapters only provide a certain range of watts (i.e., 0-50, 50-800, 800-2400, etc). (why phillips, a european company, doesn't just make products which accept 110-240 is beyond me; well, actually, its so that they can prevent parallel imports, but that's another story). Third, because you have to plug-in both the base station and the handset station, you'll need two of the above adapters. Fourth, it's a bit clunky to carry about with you when travelling. Finally, there are some countries where government censors block skype from being used through ISPs, including (i think) china and many mid-east countries. so it won't work there. You would be much better off getting any of the numerous skype-enabled USB phones which can be purchased for about 1/3 the price of this unit, as these can just be plugged into your computer, without any power conversion issues, no matter where you are on earth (apart from the above-mentioned countries) and, so long as your computer has an internet connection, you're good to go.

This device is unlocked to all networks. I was able to use it in Asia with different networks and it all worked. Not sure with the speed but this is 3G not LtE and the speed will also depend on your provider. This device discharges easily so i would advice for you to have a portable powerbank.

Definitely.....It's an advanced system. There is also a mobile app that you can download on your Android or Apple phone to control the device.

You can use it outside United States. If you have a wireless router, you can use it on wi fi. If you want to use it away from home, you need a free wi fi or a data plan. Mine is an ATT compatible iPad. Charging it will take an international plug, just like the other reviewer said.

You can use an iPhone to control this as long as you have some sort of insteon app and hardware to link it. I use a isy994.

I don't know if you can unlock your iphone 5 overseas, but I bought mine unlocked for international use and it was as advertised. You have to make sure that your iphone is GSM. I'm not sure that all iphones are. You need to see whether your iphone has that capability and also that it already is, or can be unlocked. Sorry I can't be more specific. I'm not as knowledgeable as many users.

I did use it in the Philippines and Hong Kong but would be careful as it will heat up. Don't leave it plugged in for prolonged periods.

We regret to inform you this system is not designed for international usage. Taking this set and using it in another country may void communications laws as well.

Well, you should not have any issue of using it in Asia, I have sent iPhones to my family in Turkey and they use them without any problem. In terms of international warranty, I have no idea how it works, but say problem with the phone is fault of apple they fix it no matter you have warranty or not but if you have a problem with the phone that is because of normal use then you may need pay for it to replace it. You should ask apple store in your country. By the way, the phone's warranty is already expired...Thanks for your interest

No, this does not work while still in the USA. However, once you are in China you don't need to do anything to activate the card other than put it in your phone.

no, you need to buy a power supply and switch separately. This is usually controlled by an access control system.
