With the addition of a voice/pager dialer
most systems can notify the homeowner
of an alarm.  Some units will notify as
many as eight persons and can differentiate
up to four conditions (e.g., burglary, fire,
freeze, flood).

These are not as effective as central
station monitoring but for people whose
police departments are so far away (country
homes) or so inept (Bridgeport, CT) that
monitoring is of little value they can provide
some measure of security.

I don't have exact figures but I'd estimate
about 10 to 20% of my DIY clients use a
voice/pager dialer.
