We gave up on POTS when they couldn't keep even 1 line
functioning, when we had 3 to service basic needs. 3 out of 3
lines down? Yep. Well, it couldn't have been very long. How about
3 weeks? We have neighbors who were without basic POTS service for
6 months. Copper is no longer a priority.

We still run into installations that insist on POTS. I
am serving a large data center that wants 20 POTS lines for
elevator alarms and the such. So we have to find some old
POTS line cards and install them in a DLC to generate POTS
in an area that is 100% FTTH.

In my opinion, alarms should be connected to a reliable
cellular provider like Verizon or AT&T who typically
have backup generators. Cellular will be more reliable
than a residential internet connection and there's some
level of redundancy in the fact if one cell tower goes
down, it easily fails over to the next closest tower since
it's a mobile service.
I don't recommend anything critical like alarms,
fire, and medical systems to be only on an internet
connection.
Commercial in my case.

Are these residential systems
or commercial?

Having the alarm company call at every
outage I think is standard practice. Then
if anything happens, it's not their fault..
The Fire alarm I manage has an RF
connection to the alarm company. The
Battery in their RF Transmitter was going
bad (In a box only they had a key to), and
there was a lot of construction going on.
Every time the power flashed, I got a call
that the system had gone offline.
Who could
stand the noise?

What happened to
guard dogs?
My wife’s
grandfather owned basically a
junkyard for farmers, and he had
guard peacocks.
Mine
is Peak Alarm. For my
shop.

[AFMUG] alarm
company calls
every time
Internet blips
I’m used to customers with webcams, and all the
issues those
involve. But
I just had a
customer call
saying they
bought an
alarm system
that every
time the
Internet goes
down, the
alarm company
calls them.
In this case
she says their
Internet
doesn’t work
until they
restart their
router (not
from us), so I
assume it’s a
router issue.
Maybe the new
alarm system
is doing UPnP
stuff and
messing with
the router.
But in general, is this reasonable? Every time
the customer
has a power
outage or, god
forbid, we do
system
maintenance
like firmware
upgrades, the
alarm company
is going to
be calling
them and
pointing at
finger at
their ISP?
