You can arm or disarm by cell phone pretty easily, works great. I even programmed my land line to show up as ALARM on my cell since that is the only thing I use the land line for. It is also supposed to be able to monitor the microphone on the control panel remotely, I've not been able to get that feature to work.

Yes, but you have to get it programed by you security system provider. They can do it over the phone with you. Its pretty easy.

What the others said - it's not a phone, nor does it have an alarm. It would be nice if it did, though (are you listening LifeTrak?)

If you did this it probably would set off the alarm and I am not sure you want to do this if you do not need to. It is a very loud sound.

The alarm is not real loud, and no volume control. Unless you had this inside in a place a few rooms away, or maybe in basement if it was not far away from the door down to the basement, you wouldn't hear it probably.

Mine is attached to a home cell phone called straight talk. You plug it into a phone wall jack and then you plug your Fortress control box into any phone jack in the house. But there is no way you can plug it into a normal cell phone.

I believe that there is a "cut off" that will put the unit to sleep for a period of time (determined by YOU) after 3 or 4 wrong codes entered. There is a Z-Wave capability that may be able to send a text to the homeowner if the wrong code is entered too many times, but I don't believe it would actually cause a burglar alarm to sound. I hope this helps.

Nope. Otherwise great set of phones for the $. Suggest u use cell for alarm.

Yes, you can. If you you have your number on the dial list, it will dial you and you can turn off the alarm and listen in. The alarm will then go off if retriggered. The S02 manual which you can download gives you details on all this.

These require some kind of Z-Wave controller. There are a lot of these on the market. Many alarm systems (GE Simon is one example) have this feature and web control is available through your alarm service provider. There may be Z-Wave controllers that have wifi or other integration to allow Internet control. But these switches cannot be controlled directly by a cell phone or tablet; a separate controller is required.

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.

No.It's not possible to set it to give out a chime sound in Alarm mode.The smaller piece goes on the door frame with adhesive.Unless you have a wooden door frame.

Yes . You have to turn the alarm off or it resets after 2 hrs of it being triggered.

I used http://alarmsim.com/ seems to work ok. I'm not thrilled with the cell performance of the fortress unit but it does seem to get the job done.

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

Hi I don't think so. I have this alarm also and I do not know any way to mute the alarm. Thanks for asking Frank
