X10 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) I would like to install a security system in my home, I don't think that a local siren is enough and would like a system that calls out for help. I've heard that most systems that hook up to a central monitoring station require a monthly monitoring fee. That can work out to be quite expensive in the long run! Is there any kind of security system available that can contact someone by phone without my having to pay a monthly monitoring fee? Yes, X10 has recently introduced a Voice Dialer Security System (DS7000) that you set up to call a friend, relative, or neighbor. You can set it up to call up to 4 different phone numbers. You set it up to play back up to 15 seconds of voice message, in your voice! For example "There's a burglary in progress at such and such address, please press any button on your touch-tone phone to listen in." Your friend or neighbor can then listen-in for up to 75 seconds to see if it sounds like there's a real problem, if it does they call the Police.. |
