    Might be a daft question, but I was wondering does the Quantum 70 have some sort of interface where I could programmatically poll the status of the system?

    I doubt you would be able to HKC have serial posts/browser access etc well locked down.
    Is this a system you have installed or something you are looking to install for certain features.?

    I have some CCTV cameras and I was going to write a script that would check if the alarm was armed and if so, send a push notification to my phone on motion detection. Just something to fool about with....

    Thanks for the info

    What type of recorder have you got for the CCTV
    Many could take a trigger from the alarm & send you an email which could be pushed to your phone.

    No I only want to check the alarm system status not trigger on an alarm activation. So motion+alarm armed = notification.

    Thanks

    For total hackery... you could take a feed straight off the signal into the alarm panel to the input of e.g. a raspberry pi.... then do whatever you like

    Not sure what voltage the siganl from the contacts/PIRs are... could be 12v in which case you would have to pass it through 3v3 or 5v regulator.
    Edit: although that wouldnt tell you if the alarm is armed...
    Obvious caveats - if you mess about with your alarm system it may affect a claim you make with your insurance company or you may break it etc etc.
    Probably a better discussion for programming/electronics forum.
