There was a company operating as Power Call Security in the Georgia
area. Their parent company was Southern Company. I'm not certain if
PowerCall is still operating but you might find more info on the
equipment if you contact Southern Company (sorry I only have the phone
# for investors). Southern Company is a solid utility company. Pays a
nice little dividend too :-)
If you are in the Georgia area there is a pretty decent company down
there called Southern Alarm. Whether or not anyone can utilize the
equipment depends on the age of the system. Have someone come to the
house and look it over.
