Alarm System Problems
AlanB:
OK. I know, I should not trust VOIP for my home alarm system. So, no need to go there.
I have an ADT system, and I'm grandfathered into a rate that's much better than they offer now, so I've been trying to keep it.
I had tested the alarm system several times with Google Voice, and it had worked OK. I'm now with Anveo and I can't get it to work. To be fair, I got a call from ADT before I switch to Anveo, so the problem may have started before the switch. It could be a Obi202 firmware upgrade, or anything else.
I've gone into the Expert Configuration and set DTMFMethod = InBand for Anveo like I had with Google Voice.
Does anyone have their alarm system working with Anveo? Are there any specific settings you used?
bdwill:
Been using Vonage with alarm for years without a problem. I just ported to Anveo and my alarm isn't connecting either (even after setting DTMF to InBand as well). I see the dialing attempts in the call log but uncertain why it's not working. I just set up an account with Callcentric and I'm going to give it a shot.
AlanB:
Glad you found my post. Let me know how Callcentric works out. I almost tested it yesterday.
I'm thinking of ordering an adapter for my alarm system and switching to NextAlarm.
MurrayB:
When I dropped Verizon POTS I installed a Telguard TG-1 cellular communicator. The alarm panel is unplugged from the RJ-31 and plugged into the Telguard. There are no changes required to the panel. You need to do this in concert with or through your monitoring service. There is an additional charge for the Telguard service to be in between the alarm panel and the monitoring service. My communicator does an automatic test on the 14th of every month.
AlanB:
I signed up with NextAlarm. I'll be testing them for a few weeks before I drop ADT. I'll add a separate post later with what hardware I had to buy to get it set up.
