Can the alarm notify me by phone, text or smartphone app?

Not to my knowledge. When the beam is broken, a wireless signal is sent to a dedicated receiver that gives off a chime. That's it. Even then, it works only about 75% of the time. I am still looking for a system that works 100% of the time.

Yes but you need it connected to your alarm provider as it doesn't have its own interface to the internet.

Yes, the alarm will contact any cellular carrier. The unit just uses Verizon to send out the text messages.

Yes, there are two types of alerts. App notifications and email. You may be able to use email to SMS if your carrier provides it. Pictures come through, but the text shows up in HTML. http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-send-e-mail-to-sms-text/

I don't see why not. The only thing with a mobile application is it may go off inadvertently as the exhaust fumes may come in a window or door when opened and trigger the alarm

Dear Paul,Thank you for contacting us. This alarm can be used for either self monitoring or for professional monitoring. It just needs to be connected to a land line or voip phone service.Sincerely,Andrew

Yes! You can put on alarm or chime and shut either one off when you want to.

Yes, if the alarm is tripped it will dial several phone numbers in sequence. The first call can go to the monitoring company if you wish.

This system cannot,but the GSM system can use GSM cellular technology that allows Text and Call notifications for alarm events as well as the ability to arm or disarm your system with a text or a call.

The sensor will not directly make an alarm trigger, but with the SmartSense Hub and a little bit of work with the SmartSense scripting thing on their site you should be able to instruct an alarm device to trigger when a certain type of event is detected. There might already be examples of this on their developer site.

Yes. Use Gmail as your notification email address. Then go to "Tech Awakening" on the internet, you'll need to find it using Google search. They have a page that shows you how to set up sms alerts, using Gmail and Google calenders that sends you a sms everytime you get an email from a particular address. Its free! You will now get a text on your mobile everytime you get a motion alert, you can then go to the internet and see what its about. Works a treat!

No. Alarms require a standard POTs line. Most alarms do offer a network module upgrade so it can communicate over a network. You have to have all your internet backbone (modem, router, hubs etc. on battery backup ).

You just program the dialer to call your cell number-ours calls mine,my wife's and my best friend when/if the alarm goes off

You can create a rule in the program to alert you when the door is opened and or closed. You can have it alert you by email and or texts. Not sure about the notifications by manually lifting the door.

Yes! I use the sleep machine app. And the alarm sounds over that. Hope this helps

Dear John, Thank you for contacting us. If you decide not to get the monitoring service, you will still get all of the alarm features. Nothing is lost. If you have any other questions, let me know. Sincerely, Andrew
