Can this system use wired telephone and/or cellular? Can you purchase additional smoke detectors? And lastly, can it be used by a monitoring service?

The thing doesn't work.......don't waste your money. We had trouble trying to make the thing work, sent e-mails, left messages (for the supplier) and never received a response. If you're gonna spend the money, get one from your local security provider (with monitoring). By adding the smoke detectors, some insurance companies offer a discount that helps out on the monitoring fee. You're money ahead that way in the long run. And.......you have 24/7 monitoring as well.

It'd be hard to know the technology required for various different alarm systems. I would ask my alarm company if their system is compatible with VOIP. Other options would be to get metered service from the phone co to lower payments. A wireless alarm system (cellular) might be an option. Hope this helps.

I don't know what you mean by monitoring. If you are asking if the individual phones will show caller ID in their respective rooms, then the answer is yes. I have the main phone plugged into the phone line and the other three are spread out throughout the house.

I believe they offer smoke detectors and heat sensors that can be connected to the security alarm.

Sorry, no clue. I use it on a land line and don't really expect a high level of security there.

The smoke detector works like a window/door or motion sensor. It sends a signal to the main unit, the main unit goes into a state of alarm, and then it sends texts/calls the numbers pre-programmed in the main panel. It will work like a normal smoke detector without the security system, but to send u a text, it must be linked to your security system and text alerts must be configured on your system

The sensors/alarms/PIR's that come with the system are pre-programmed...you can add additional sensors, PIR's, smoke alarms, CO detector, water level sensors to the system (pretty simple process). i purchased two systems (cheaper to buy a smaller system along with my primary system to get the additional items rather than ordering individual) and programmed all the items on one controller (i also have two story with basement). I put an extra siren and multiple sensors and PIR's onto the system with no issues (even on my detached garage about 50 feet away from my house).

I have electric wires already installed to make all alarms be on same circuit.(AND uses battery back up) Is there a combination smoke /CO detecting alarm made for this?

Yes you must plug in a wired phone line either a regular land line from a phone company or a VOIP phone line from a VOIP company to make this alarm call phone numbers. There is no cordless-phone-type feature with this unit.

No, The brand new panel does not have GSM included. I do have a used 2gig system with GSM, carbon smoke detector,1 motion, 1 key fob, 1 door contact priced for $180.00? All equipment is in good condition, I just can't sell as new merchandise.

You do not need third party monitoring, you can program the system to call you and several other numbers. You can also arm, disarm, and listen inside the house via the phone. I monitor my own system along with IP cameras.

The system will dial up to 4 phone #'s of your choice...or you have the option of purchasing a monitoring system for under $10.00 per month. Hope this was helpful. We purchased ours to meet the requirements of our home owner's insurance.

Thanks for your interests. If you just want it for alarm purpose, you do not need to connect it to a phone line or internet. When you want it to call, you need to connect it to a phone line.Hope the information helps you a lot.

The system will operate locally only without contractual monitoring. To use the monitoring functions you must purchase the correct cell card for your area. Before I purchased monitoring I trained the family in a local only configuration. I have it announce all doors and windows through the control panel. The system performs flawlessly. I don't think there is any option for a remote speaker to announce doors, etc. so place the panel where you can hear it. It gets fairly loud. I have additional "bell" tones before the basement door announcements since I can't hear those doors being opened from the interior of my house. I can hear the announcements throughout my ranch style house with the panel in the dining room.

Yes. I have 3 CO detectors and 5 smoke detectors on 3 floors communicating perfectly with each other.
