Monitored security over broadband

fisab · 2005-09-13 07:50:25

I was wondering is there any monitored security available in Ireland over broadband - i.e. a rival to eircom phone watch. I have wireless broadband so I'm looking for an alternative to the phone line. Many thanks in advance for any help.

I would be very interested in this too as I'm sure would thousands of other people who would love to ditch their phone line!

It's probably not available because (a) not a lot of people have broadband (b) most broadband is over ADSL which means you have a phone line.

But a GSM alarm would be a lot more secure in any event, as a thief can just chop the phone wires outside the house and then work away.

Alarm monitoring over voip is in the pipeline & all the main monitoring stations will be implmenting this shortly...
GSM monitoring is available but can be expensive ....
