If you are one of the 30% of Canadians without conventional landline telephone service in your home or you are using internet based phones (VOIP) you will need to know about cellular GSM monitoring. GSM is an acronym for "Global Systems Mobile" which is the most standard North American format for cellular communications. Our Honeywell alarm systems are compatible with both conventional and cellular monitoring. When land-lines are absent, we install a cellular GSM unit and establish a mobile data account for your home alarm system. Your alarm system now has its very own secure communications path to the Emergency Response Center. It is no longer reliant on your home phone line, and no longer vulnerable to "line cut". You may ask: "Can I use my internet connection?" Protection Plus offers an alarm panel that can use your internet connection to communicate to the monitoring station. It does NOT, however, eliminate the "line- cut" vulnerability and is only as reliable as your internet service. The most secure method of monitoring is to combine internet and GSM for dual path monitoring. Ask us about rate plans and equipment costs.
