Hi Folks, I have been searching and researching for an answer to my question so I can make sure I am getting the most reliable solution.
My scenario is not much different that a few I have found, but I have a slightly different twist on it.
Here is what I have.. without having to remember all the model numbers I will be general
Elk M1 gold, wireless Elk 2 way sensors/transmitter, ethernet module, data bus module, siren, keyfobs, etc
I recently completed the install and ready to call Alarm relay and set up an account...
I do not have a POTS (regular) phone line. I DO have DSL internet (live in the country a bit. it is the only option) I do not trust DSL to be my primary. I have some woods on my property and have a couple of wild game cameras... I recently saw a stranger well deep into my property which worries me, thus getting this monitoring set up has become a priority..
here is the twist...on my hunting lease, one of my game cameras I have cellular capability which I no longer need. it uses an ATT sim. It can send picture to text or email... Would this card work "as-is" for a cellular uplink? if so, what would be the recommended brand/model?
I spoke with alarm relay to ask this question, and they seemed unsure... the card cost me $10 a month as an add on line.
OR, would I be better off not even considering using ATT and go with another , more proprietary solution? Of course, I want the best value, but don't mind spending a bit more for a quality/reliable uplink.
Thanks in advance...
