It's easy to in stall. Most of the alarms have a sticker back. The motion sensors have an on off switch on the sensor though. I didn't like it. I have never tried to hook this up to call me because I use it as a sneak out alarm for my son.

Will operate with or without phone line, comes with plenty of double side tape... No holes unles u want too.. The tape is cheap and won't last long so buy some 3m tape and it's all good!! Great system for the price

The auto dial is only used to call you or a phoneof your choice in the event of the alarm being set off. The alarm siren will still work even if you do not hook up the phone line. There is very minimal drilling (only for mounting sensors if needed and the control box. I personally think the system should be installed by someone with some knoledge due to programming and mounting the sensors properly.

Yeah. It's a piece of cake to install. You just plug the cord that it comes with into your phone jack and take the cord from your non-caller id phone and plug it into your caller id. You can plug in the electric jack into a wall outlet or just use batteries...your call.

I initially had a land line. Last week I set up a Ooma phone (VOIP), and it did call out the alarm to the three designated numbers. I was able to cancel the call out during that call. So far, the only thing that is a little less reliable is if you call into the alarm during an alarm situation. It took several times to get that to work. I am satisfied with its functionality on the Ooma phone. I did install a power back up system for the phone set, router and Ooma station. So it should work during an outage for long enough to send out the call--unless cable is down too.

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

Hello Peter, You will need to have this system hooked up to a land line, internet line (Vonage, VOIP), or use a sim card if you want the system to dial out. Thanks! www.FortressSecurityStore.com

I left the attendant feature at factory default which I recall as answering after 4 or 5 rings. I think I also recall that it can be turned off. I've been quite pleased with the system overall. It has all the important features and it was easy to install. We mounted and wired it on plywood then fastened the plywood to the wall alongside the Telco entrance. We also mounted a plain old telephone on the same plywood and used the X16 bypass connection so we wouldn't be totally dead if the system died.

It is a VOIP phone, so you wouldn't be able to connect a regular phone line or "pots" line. You would need to have it connected to the Internet. I have personally replaced my landline with my VoIP phone line that I get through RingCentral, which is an AT&T; service.

None required. System powers through the phone line. I have 5 at my shop and just bought a system for my Church. Great system!

No, you don't need a phone line unless you are going to use the remote calling feature.

I have this telephone downstairs with the handset it came with. Upstairs I have an auxiliary handset that operates off the telephone downstairs. Saved me installing telephone line upstairs and it works perfectly.

Plug the line from the phone base into one side and the line house line into the other. If it works it will give a signal back to all callers but only will computer systems (auto dialings) get and use the signal as a non-functional number. The one I ordered did not work. But I had one that did work for years. They do seem to fail after a lot of use.

If you use this as is, then you can't. If you install this with the telephone dialer, then the dialer itself is an alarm. so you can leave this unit in the utility room and install the dialer in your house. Between this sensor unit and the dialer is wireless.

Antonios - You need to connect it to an analog phone line if you expect it to work. It does not have to be AT&T; service. Yes, it comes with a manual.

As for a phone line, you do not have to have landline service, but the Actiontec unit does require a phone jack to access your DSL service. The unit does not have to be connected to a computer constantly. You will need to connect to it initially (I believe wired or wirelessly) to set it up, but any tablet, laptop, desktop, etc. should be fine. Hope this helps!

Yes you van. there's a cordless phone adapter available for the system that makes it a lot easier as far as wiring goes. if you've never install the system like this before I would recommend picking it up along with the KSU and phones.
