Find Out About Home Security Systems And Home Alarm Products
What if you have your gun and aim it at the crook and tell him to not move while you dile 911. What if he charges at you anyway and you shoot him, if he dies, will you go to prison?
do they offer monitoring? is there anybody who will monitor their stuff? I see that they sell good security system parts, that’s why i’m asking. i heard somewhere that ADT charges 9 for a monitored smoke alarm, so screw that, I want to build my own security/fire system and have it MONITORED
help please!
I was wondering if there’s a company that, for a monthly fee, will let me set a phone dialer(these can be added to honeywell stuff) to call them and then they call 911 and report it
This may sound crazy but today my teenager thought she saw a burglar and dialed 911 on some house maintenance people one of them were black and the other was white. And now the company is trying to claim prejudice on us.

Also wondering could we be fined for this.
should you call 911 and if you do will they take you seriously. and what if he threatens you? do you say santa broke into my house and is threatening me? Or if you report and the officer asks you to describe what the burglar looked like, and what if all you can say is he looked like santa claus. then what
1.When you have a brinks alarm system, are they the only company that can monitor the alarms?
2. Can the alarm be reprogrammed to call your cell phone and/or 911 if the alarm does go off?
I would be happy if it just rang my cell phone.
Two days ago we were awaking to our carbon monoxide alarm going off… left the apartment and call 911 like directed. The fire dept walking to the apart complex was getting a rating as they were walking in the open hallway. The fire department there 3 levels of carbon monoxide(dangerous, moderate, low)… my apartment was close to dangerous but was high moderate. My apartment is on the 3 floor and the second floor had a mid dangerous level and the first had high dangerous level of co2.
After the fire dept narrow’d the issue down to our laundry room our apt complex gas was turned off for now 2 days i like to add… and my apartment’s AC is not working and KC is having temps all the way up in the high 90 degree temps… but thats another story…
I called a little ago to my apartment manager to find out about our hot water and gas and AC issue and stated that we had a gas leak and that carbon monoxide was false
My question is that can my carbon monoxide go off for a gas leak?
If phone lines and alarm wires were running into a house through a little metal pipe, then it would be a lot harder for a might-be burglar or other invader to cut those lines while trying to stop their victim(s) from calling the police or trying to stop their victims’ alarm systems from calling that dispatcher. That should be painfully obvious to the people installing the lines. Why don’t they do it that way, then?
It doesn’t matter who owns the wiring. What matters is who installs them, and how they do it. Who pays for the lines has nothing to do with whether or not the phone company could start off by installing the lines via conduit. The same with the alarm company.
And don’t be the guy who says something like, "Maybe if the burglar can’t cut your phone lines, he’ll just kill you instead," since that wouldn’t make sense, because then I would respond with this:
"Well, what if you’re NOT HOME for the burglar to kill? The alarm could still call the company if the wires were in a conduit that was hard to cut. And even then, sometimes burglars cut phone and/or alarm lines to make it easier for them TO come in and STILL try to kill you. But if they can’t cut the phone line first, then you might still get a 911 call out in time."
So, now, when you answer, consider the potential pitfalls I just steered you around. Okay?
Will you come back periodically to see if I have any follow-up for your answers, and then RErespond with follow-up to my follow-ups, please? Thanks, if so.
Okay, Hydroace and DT Warwick,

Actually, I’m surprised that they would just bury the wire without putting it in a pipe, anyway, just because of the tilling, etc. But I think it’s more than 2 inches deep where my parents live ( a lot of tilling got done there).
Isn’t that cable–from the box or pole–thicker than just the line that runs around in your house, and seriously, wouldn’t it be more than 2 inches deep (and if not, why not)?
Yeah, I’m not really talking about pipe all the way from the house to the phone box or pole (although that would be ideal). I just meant one little pipe that goes from a few feet below the surface of the ground (so a thief would have to dig around in the ground to find the bottom where the cable comes out), or from the top of the roof, into the house’s point of entry with an elbow that gets sealed in (at least in the case of the phone line). Why would one little piece of pipe just a few or several feet long (not many yards way out to the street) cost so "too much" for the phone company to decide to afford when they install it–just the one straight pipe a few feet or so long?
Yeah, Hydro, I’m talking about where the cable was buried at the lower depth because it was the original installation.
Why not just take it up a metal pipe from that depth where it meets the house, up to the box, and then lock the box? That little bit of pipe wouldn’t cost much, and it would slow a potential thief or other attacker down considerably, wouldn’t it?
My condo is pre-wired for security monitoring (like ADT, brinks), but the service isn’t actually included in the association fees (meaning I’d have to pay for it myself).
What else can I do with the system? I’d like to be able to get some level of security out of the system. Is there a free service I could use? Or can I buy something that would automatically do the 911 call if the alarm goes off?
i’m home alone. i was making macaroni and my stove wont turn off cuz the handle came off. it smells like smoke and my fire alarm is gonna go off!! i opened the window but it still smells like smoke and i dont wanna call 911 cuz my parents just started to leave me home alone.
i tried to unplug it but its too heavy for me to move.
ps its an electric one not a gas one, and it was set on high.
i asked this once before and people assumed that it was gas and its not, so sorry if you read it twice
