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.

hello, the system has sensors, that you install where you need them, when you activate the alarm, if anyone tries to enter thru your door or window, the siren goes off , and it is loud enough to scare anyone off, not to mention alert your other neighbors, you can set it up to call your cell phone, or the local police dept, just make sure that you ok it with your police dept, every city has different rules. good luck

The alarm has to be conected to a landline in order to receibe or send phone calls when it fires or you want to activate away from home.

In order for it to call out if an alarm is tripped you have to have it connected to a landline. Once it connected though, you can program it to call a cellphone. (I've had a few false alarms and got calls on my cell). Hope this helps!

It does not need a phone line. It needs an Ethernet connection to your modem or router.

This unit does not have anyway to connect to a wired or wireless switch system for doors and windows. It only senses a human being physically walking around in the room that unit is located in. Then it does one of two things. #1. Sounds it's siren and dials a phone number(s) and plays a recorded message to alert the dialed party(s) that the alarm has been tripped. Or you can keep the alarm silent and still have the unit silently dial a phone number(s) and play a recorded message to alert the dialed party(s) that the alarm has been tripped. That's it. With an OBI 100 VOIP Telephone Adapter for about $50.00 and VOIP phone service from PhonePower.com for $35.00 per year and using Google Voice (free) to ring my various phone numbers, I have a very inexpensive, very reliable and very effective burglar alarm system for my home configuration. There is another model that has a remote control that might be more convenient for some people or when installing and working with units in multiple rooms. Hope this information helps.

You need a z-wave controller first. Then that controller which usually has a smartphone app will/can control it. In addition, be part of your alarm system.

It won't do anything without a service. If you have the audible alarm then you are good.

The siren is not a stand alone alarm system. It is a signaling device. It must be connected to an alarm system.

You need a landline, so it can call you, not meant for a cell phone. As far as the function light going on, that should be from the battery, as far as I know.

The outside alarm does not have a battery and must be plugged into anelectrical outlet. It is wireless and will sound when sensor is tripped.

I have a Watchdog system and the alarm can be heard clearly upstairs or install the alarm upstairs or link it to your Android or IPhone portable device. B

If you want it to call out for help if the alarm goes off yes you need a phone line.

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.

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, you don't need to have a landline for the alarm to work but without one you won't be notified of an alarm condition if you're away from home.

Technically yes because you are on wifi system. Just goto google play to download the android apps for video alarm system (free program) or download it from alarm.com (paid program) then it configuration through your IP address. Hope this answers will help you.
