RHC: Yes, Security 24 (Reliance/Protectron) are being very cautious
about a lot of these new methods of alarm transmission. I have been
told that the only IP module they will accept on the station costs
about $1000, so is of little use to dealers. VoIP is another
problematic situation, and rightly so.

Time and technology is moving on; however, I feel better about dealing
with a station that is very cautious about letting things on the
station unless they are very sure they work properly. Personally, I
think that is the correct approach. Security services HAVE to work
when they are called upon. It's not all about the money with the
better companies.....
