I would like to get information on whether it is
possible to connect a home alarm system to be monitored
through the use of ham radio signals [not cellular]
and, if so, information on how to get started [products,
info, etc].
Anyone have any experience with
it? Is it worth the effort?
I am interested
in using it as backup in case of a major emergency
[no POTS, internet, cellular, et al].
Thank
you,
GRG

Hi
it's possible, but if you are not a licensed
radio ham you will need to use CB, which is pretty
rugged against system failure. On the other hand,
in the final disaster scenario (eg Katrina), such
legal niceties may be over-looked.
What range
do you need to cover?
Do you just need on/off
alarm contact data or is there video involved?
