I understand that conventional unmonitored alarm system has 3 major components - keypad (to arm/disarm etc),control panel (which monitors sensors and sets an alarm when armed), dialer (if you want to call outside).

 

I understand 'proper' system will have keypad separated from control panel and the control panel should be in a metal box in less accessible and visible place. so it should take sometime for an intruder to find it and smash it.

 

however the question - what do you do with dialers? there are not a lot of places where the land line socket can be placed in the property hence intruder simply need to go quickly around (dialing a number and playing message should take at least 20-25 sec) and smashing the dialer.

 

Also I understand it is fairly easy to cut US land line.. How protected land lines in the UK ?

A dialler is a low security device. If the risk is medium to high you would not want to use a dialler and would use a high security communicator. Anything that meets EN 50131 Grade 4, must transmit its status quickly. Also if the device is disabled this would also show up within 3 mins.

by high security communicator you are talking redcare kinda services to connect to? are there other alternatives - a service which accepts a signal from such high sec comm device and transforms this to a phone call/text? anyone you can recommend? also do you sell communicators like that?

Yes redcare have a grade 4 service called redcare classic and redcare GSM. But there are alternatives Webwayone, emizon, dualcom GPRS etc. YEs we sell them but are you in the US?

no I am in North London
