IMO most alarms without some form of signalling are a bit useless. Neighbours note the time it rings to complain about the noise.

PeterJames Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Quote Virgin are saying to me 99% of alarms systems are ok with it as there digital phone line system (VOIP) is the same as a phone line its just digital you can even plug standard landline phone into it without issue but require me to confirm this before signing up i dont want to be left in a postition when they install it wont work. If you sold fibre for a living thats what you would say too, then when it doesnt work, just say oh dear your system is one of the 1%. Of course your installer has told you it needs to be upgraded, you asked them their advice, and that is their advice. Most here would give the same or similar advice, not because anyone wants your money, we make no financial gain giving you advice but you came here asking for advice. Your cheaper alternate would be to add a gsm dialler as suggested by other, this will have additional monthly fees for SIM etc, there are wifi signalling units out there too, but again there will be costs for these too as they work via servers which cost money to keep running. What I will say is your Vocom will be no good after 2025 as openreach plan to digitise all pstn by then anyway. My advice would be upgrade the panel if you can afford to, if you cannot, the choices are GSM or Wifi if your installer has a universal Wifi solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any burglar knew no one was coming they are going to carry on Most of my panels are not on wifi they are hard wired Almost all of (in my case) domestic situations do not care about the whole £2 they get off a year they want it just as a deterrent they adamantly do not want monitoring or any other pay monthly system and the app is just frosting on top Having the ability to just check up on the house even if it's not 100% reliable is better than a bells only system which they would have had instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
