Hi all,
Looking at the Response range of wirefree alarms as an option for our
new house-I've had one of their basic wirefree options for the last 6
years and it's been ok. But I'd like to move up to one that can offer
zones.Any thoughts/recommedations or web links.
Also, most of the alarms on the market seem to offer callback/mobile
phone contact.Have any advanced onto the IP level -that is, they offer a
connection to a broadband router to use email, web page updating of any
incidents rather than dual-up

Thanks

I suspect you can do much of this with Comfort. I'm not very up-to-date
with what it offers, but last time I looked, one of the options was a
Linux PC card with ethernet connection. I kind of rolled my own using
a PC interfacing to a serial port on the alarm, although they do also
Windows supply software for doing this (I didn't want a Windows system
performing that role though).

As Andrew says, Comfort is one such system. You'll find that IP based
signalling devices are more in the home automation arena than domestic
security products. Have a google and see what you come up with.
Depends how far you want to go, you could speend thousands if you
wanted.

Andrew is right Comfort can do this, take a look at
http://www.home-control.co.uk/

Also gives you the flexibility to for example on trigger event start
recording cctv cameras to hard disk ... call you on mobile, and you can look
at cameras in real time or history on disk form any internet connection
....... globally.
