I disagree with you on 2-way voice as it is a very good method of
verification and we have a couple of hundred thousand panels using it. The
problem with video is and shall be for quite a while the method of
transmission and cost. Those two problems are okay for a business
application but something else for residential

I don't know Sonitrol's exact method of voice verification or equipment used
but I imagine it does the job quite well
