I've searched around quite a bit and found some good info to get started. I've called some monitoring companies but the sales folks advice seem shaky at best. So, I've still got questions
I have a new Vista 20p that I'm going to begin installing but I wanted to figure out monitoring before I start doing anything.
I have Comcast phone & internet service and I would like to have VOIP monitoring with cellular backup. I don't need both upfront depending on the cost.
I've seen Uplinks, TG-1s and honeywell communicators and I don't what the difference is. Once rep told me my panel would work with VOIP out of the box but I'm thinking I'll at least need a jack of some sort. I've read some communicators won't be supported by carriers in the near future. As far as carriers go, I've read about pre-paid vs company supplied sims. I think I've reached analysis paralysis!
With that said, if anyone can comment or point me to some resources that would help me make a decision, that would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Brett
