I need an alarm for a remote workshop that does not have a phone line. Will the alarm still arm and alarm without connecting to a phone line?

yes, requires no phone line, but you can put sim card to the cellular network functions and so we can call when this is activated.

For major safety you must have both lines, as fixed telephone and sim card for if they trump someone of the two ... good depending on your needs of safety ... regards

Yes it will arm and screech when the motion sensor detect something but it won't call you. It's suppose to, if you insert a phone chip but we could never get it to work. We had a lot of problems with this system and returned it for a Fortress.

There is a remote that you place in the house and yes that will go off along with the alarm on the unit.no it can not be remotely turned off. I don't thin any of the alarms can. Its part of the code so you have to go look at why the alarm went off.

Yes the external siren needs to be connected to the main alarm but I haven't try it yet and I am sure it wouldn't be any problem good luck

We use the system with any phone someone has in the house. But you need to plug the phone cord directly into the unit and not into the phone. If you want to use the telephone you must disconnect the alarm and replug into the phone. This is a very good alarm unit but some people do have problems setting it up. Once you figure it out you can call you home from any location and receive information about the temperature in the house, and power.

Yes. The alarm tech will have to program it on site at your key pad. At least that's what ADT did, indicating I couldn't do it myself due to keeping their "codes" private. Make sure they don't erase any other dongle codes during programming if you have more than one of these dongles in use. It will take 15 minutes for them to program it.

You need a smartphone. Yes it calls the number you program into the unit to notify you of the alarm going off and the mic picks up noise around it. You can use the unit to call out too just like any phone.

You do not need it connected. It will sound the audible alarm in the house. The cell service is only required if you want the dispatch center to notify your local PD.

You have to use a monitoring service or it affects as a local audible alarm only. Make sure the monitoring service gives you access to total connect. That way you can program and control the system via the internet or your phone.

No it will not alert you unless you get the GN1000 lifter which will allow you to answer calls remotely as well. Sold separately

Can this thing work as a silent alarm? I want to use it so that I know if someone is walking through the hallway outside my office, but I want it to be silent on that transmitting end and be notified by the remote. Does anyone know of a product like that which I can use that is discreet and won't scare the crap out of my co-workers?

I'm shopping and feel very confused by this thread. Some say the alarm must be connected to a phone (which makes sense to me); others say it doesn't need to be connected. If it doesn't need to be connected, has it a phone in inside somehow that dials the preprogrammed numbers? I know how stupid that sounds but for the people who said "no", how does it call if it's not connected to a phone? I'd want it to call the police.

I have an alarm system; someone broke into my house after midnight when I was out of town. My neighbors didn't even hear the alarm from the security system. Can this unit be attached to my existing system and it so, will it have to be manually turned off?

No internet is required. However, to activate a subscription (monitoring service), you will need to do that through an online account. That can be done from anywhere. But for the alarm system itself to work, an internet connection in your home is not necessary or used in any way.

It doesn't really work like an alarm that you arm & disarm. It's purpose is to remotely notify you that a door is opened. It doesn't make a noise at the door, only at the wireless signal receiving unit located elsewhere. I'm frequently at the other end of my house upstairs, so I use one on both the front & rear screen door to alert me of the door being opened. It works great, I set mine up this way over a year ago and I've yet to even need to change any batteries.

It has a remote you can place inside your house. You do have to run outside if it goes off. I've had strong winds set off the alarm and so I don't have it on all the time.

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.

I ave no idea,really. I was driving, and it had armed itself. When I cut off the power, I was stuck at a shopping center, waiting for AAA to come and get my truck. The funny thing is, the AAA personal who picked me up, knew about alarms ,because he used to install them himself! He took it out there and then, I was able to go home. I knew I should have not bought that alarm! So, I went with a Viper alarm 2 way pager, until I can afford a remote start, then, IPhone comparabilities! I just wanted to ft it to start putting alarms myself. It was a simple process to hook up all those wires you would get from a remote start system! But, even with Al and Ed's hooking up the alarm themselves, it still didn't work good at all. Probably, it could be how sensitive the components are inside. Things aren't what they used to be anymore. Not that that is bad.
