Got that right. At the east end of our house, there are zero
towers. At the west end there is one.

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?
