RHC: Yes, of course, this is one of several things clients MUST
recognize as a risk if they choose to use IP monitoring for their
alarms. Speaking only for myself, if a customer chooses to use these
kinds of facilities for alarm monitoring, he will be signing a form
explaining he understands and agrees with a list of things that he
MUST do that pose a major risk unless adhered to. Plus I also have a
legal document I have used in the past for such situations.

I really don't want to go this way, but clients are abandoning their
land lines in droves, and GSM and cellular are options that are too
expensive for many customers. If we must use the internet, at least
doing it this way is better than doing as a lot of companies do which
is  hooking the alarm up to anything VoIP internet based and having
the customer keep his fingers crossed...:((

I have no problem with trialing this on my own home alarm system since
I have cellular backup on it in case the landline ever goes down.
