No landline? No problem.

Like many households, you probably don’t have a landline. Even without a landline, you can still have a monitored security system as long as you get a cellular communicator.

Cellular communicators function as the primary method of communication between your alarm system and the 24/7 response center. They communicate with the response center via cellular network data channels. Cellular communicators act like a cell phone for your security system. Cellular communicators can also serve as a back-up to your landline in case of a power failure or the phone line is cut.
