Hmmmmmmm That all depends on the "risk" If he is protecting his sons lego from his daughter then your suggestion may be a bit OTT, If he is protecting a jewellers with contents exceeding millions of pounds then your suggestions may not be enough ;) And although the texe gsm...

Agreed ip signalling has it's place (i guess you have a ups aswell for power cuts? or the router will die and no transmission) But in Texecoms own words ...... as a service based on costs it is unique. There is no need for any specific panel (galaxy in your reference does not suit many...

. £365+ per year, ouch Crazy that you are looking to situations where it is not viable..... There are many many where it is viable...... plus failed calls will NOT cost anything on the phone bill ofc

You guys are soooooo funny, Galaxy IP Module £50 quid set up plus £1 per month........... with contracts etc.... Sorry but I do not see how that matches up as a comparison. Honeywell/galaxy panels had a problem with all the tap sms numbers the G2 panels needed a flash upgrade i...

:) Voda one is hit and miss, try sending open/close messages at 5pm when thousands of businesses are closing. And more importantly the Vodafone sms centre could be pulled at any time, how anyone can "sell" that is beyond me. I am not going to get into the debate over different costs with...

Thats right :)

If it never texts it will cost nothing.....then send 1 text a year later cos of a false alarm..........Many systems will text that rarely.....so is it still cheaper to fit a gsm module??? And surely that setup is better than just bells only?? And there is a set up cost of at least £200 +...

I'm not arguing, just want to ensure that readers are aware that this type of service can hit their pockets. . The only time I have known of lots and lots of calls has been when a digi was trying to dial sms centre's that were overloaded or off. Whats the most activations you have ever had...

I am sorry but I do not agree with you, and you seem to just want to argue. javascript:emoticon(':twisted:') >>>If the company providing the 50p service were to take the incoming CLID and then resolve to the customer account rather than charge 50p per dial, then I think that would be a much...

Customers would have to be made fully aware.....Thats not difficult. So people will not get surprises as long as the installer/homeowner can use maths to work out costs. I think the call cost is relative to the person, Premium rate numbers are dialled all the time for "things" less important...

I will not claim to know the answer to that question, but I presume all the call charge went to the supplier at the premises ( bt talk talk etc...) I stand by what I said that there is certainly a demand for this service. And you are wrong it is going to be published by at least one of the...

We have been installing alarm systems for over 30 years and did until recently offer sms alerts from intruder alarms. All this talk of unreliability.....the fact is we were all using a service that was 'there' it was not provided for our use. o2 vodafone and the like do not get paid for the...
