My home alarm system is associated with our landline. Will we need to change our home alarm system to be wireless to be compatible with this device?

Not sure. You may be able to modify your existing system. Call your monitoring company.

My understanding is that these are not compatible with fax machines or alarm systems. I was told technology is changing quickly and this may be available soon. Your local AT&T; store can verify that.

When I talked with an AT&T sales person today, he said that this device can NOT be used with home alarm systems that are associated with land lines.

Basically you need to connect a phone line to it. It has an RJ25 jack connection. I assume that is what you use for land phone lines in Canada? You can then program it to call out a specific phone number when the alarm is triggered. Works well so far for us. The only issue we have had is the 3M double backed adhesive tape failed for the motion sensors - not strong enough. Hope that helps.

I have the 2 gig go connect alarm system. If yours is a go connect alarm then it will work. This is the same motion that came with my alarm system I just added another one. It is really easy to add to the system

Yes. Any alarm using a RJ11, RJ12 or 616E telephone type jack to connect to the alarm box should work with this sensor.

For it to call a phone number you do, alarm will still work with out phone line, it just can't call out. Amazon does have wireless phone jacks that plug into power outlet that work pretty good if you have a room with out a phone jack.

it works without phone, but then you wont receive the phone calls when an alarm triggers. and you should only rely on the alarm sounds installed in your home.

Yes.... The question you should be asking is what kind of alarm is installed already? and is the alarm compatible? This PA system is an "add on" to your alarm system.

Good question but I doubt it. I converted everything to wireless because I have an old house and the wiring wasn't compatible. It works very well and using the higher quality batteries. They last almost 2 years before needing replacement. Good luck.

This will work pretty much universally. But, it is not plug and play. You will need to individually tap each wire. There are a lot of sites that provide model specific diagrams for adding alarm systems.

First make sure your alarm company is notified to put your system on test. The following assumes use of standard phone wire (r-w-b-g):1. Unscrew (disconnect) the red wire & tape it (that's the power wire);2. Unscrew the white wire (ground);3. Unscrew the red & green wires (these are the alarms wires);4. If there's a resistor soldered to the red or green wire, leave it, you'll need to keep it in the circuit when you install the new unit.Good luck!

If your alarm system supports wireless devices, and there is a generic, dry-contact, wireless transmitter available for it, then yes you can certainly do that.

The two base stations are both receivers; therefore the will not talk to each other. But I don' t see any reason you could register all the alarm sensors in both key pads. In this model you would have to make sure both systems turned get turned off when entering. A key fob may be the answer here. Also, only register the particular door entry sensor next to that local key pad. The only issue I see is motion detectors that may be in the path between going from key pad disarmed initially and the second key pad's location.

The system uses Quad-band GSM to communicate. GSM frequency supported: 850/900/1800/1900MHz. Basically this covers all GSM bands used worldwide. To use GSM, you will need to get a SIM card from carrier such as T-Mobile. And make sure you have good GSM signal in your house. If you have a traditional GSM band phone with your carrier, you can check your signal level and make sure you have 2 bars at least on your phone. This works like a cell phone. The system will use GSM to call and send SMS text to receiver when alarm gets triggered. User can also use SMS and calls to check system status. The cost would depend on your service plan. You can have pay-as-you-go or have a monthly service plan. The system uses minutes/text only when alarm gets triggered, or when you call the system or text to the system to arm/disarm. The system supports both GSM and Landline simultaneously. People usually buy a pay-as-you-go SIM card to use with the system. If you use landline only, it costs you nothing to operate. If you use both GSM and Landline, the system will still report via GSM even when a thief cut your phone line outside house.

Yes. If you are trying to add a new zone to the alarm and ADT tech will have to program it in. If replacing one you will be fine.

In my case I changed brands in one home and had to rewire. But throat her home this was just a simple remove attach the wire to the new unit. If you have a first alert then you just connect the new unit, if not your results can vary.

According to Alarm.com site the other devices they support are Z-Wave so this should work as well. Z-Wave is pretty universal

I'm not sure what you are asking. I have an old hard-wired alarm system and I replaced some windows in my house and used these glassbreak detectors on them. From what I understand wireless systems are now the norm and these detectors won't work for them.
