You guys with commercial security systems. Especially the ones who love their Simply Safe. Do this. Disconnect any answering device or fax from your phone lines. Then using your phone on a separate line, call the number assigned to your alarm system. Let it ring at least 10 times. Hear that handshake? If not, call the number and let it ring one time, then immediately call it back. You'll get it within five rings then. Guess what...you have a big hole where your security should be.
All I need is the software. All anyone would need is the software. Small private companies CAN lock me out with an alternating code. The larger ones...especially the national ones, will only have a single code. Service will come from many directions if needed and the service man will have the codes for that company. Internet monitoring can be trapped for programming at a disarm signal. At any rate, if you have something someone wants, they can just come and get it. They'd just disarm and rearm remotely. This shouldn't frighten most homeowners. Only the one's who store gold or silver bullion and rare art and jewels or the ones who have a lot of guns and ammo or maybe in a national crisis, food and water. Just sayin
Here's something else to think about. Ever see a huge mansion with a big ole scarey "Protected By" sign in the yard? I didn't think so. They all have custom designed totally enclosed systems.
