Vonage Reviews

Vonage I have been researching alarm systems and monitoring options for a week now and

I have been researching alarm systems and monitoring options for a week now and am still confused.

It seems like everyone says that if you have Vonage and do not have a land line (POTS) and do not want to add a land line, you should go with nextalarm.com or alarm.com

When I read all these posts about alarm.com, everything indicates they are doing "wireless", which is really just cellular monitoring. They charge $35/mo for monitoring with central station. I'd need to pay $299 minus $100 promo to convert my wired system to a GE System.. Well, for $200 I can add a cellular unit to my existing DSC Power 632 system and pay ADT $40/mo and just stick with what I have.

So what's the benefit of alarm.com? I get all the fancy features of access via the web, but is there really anything else? It seems like alarm.com really is NOT a Voip compatible solution, but a solution setup to bypass Voip and put you straight to cellular. Every alarm system out there from the major companies has cellular options, so why all the hoopla over alarm.com? Is it because of the web based features, or am I missing something?

So then there is nextalarm.com and the ABN adaptor. $11.95/mo for central station monitoring. This sounds like it's what I'm after. As I read more, it seems like you buy a $99 ABN unit, hook that into your Vonage and alarm system and you are good to go? Full monitoring over your Vonage service. Am I understanding this correctly? What's the downside BESIDES it not working if your broadband goes out?

NextAlarm.com even advertises that for $7.50/mo extra, they do cellular monitoring. If you can install a compatible cellular unit on your existing alarm system, why not just pay NextAlarm $11.95+$7.50 and save $15/mo over the central monitoring with alarm.com?

Am I way wrong on this stuff, or have i pegged it correctly? Is there other options?

Confused about Alarm monitoring options, can anyone help?

• I just went down this road today. Had a techie guy come out here and he tried to setup
• Hi HDClown, I replied to you on MobileVoipNews.com, where we saw this post,
• Hi Daniel, I still don't get the reason why anyone would use anything but wireless
• I can't really argue with that. If your cable is cut, your alarm system won't communicate.
• Dan, I went to the nextalarm.com site and filled out the form and it told me
• Having been a lurker for a while, I wanted to add that I just installed the nextalarm.com
• We have alarm.com at each of our two homes. I love it! It's "voip compatible" in
• Hi again, Sorry I've been absent. This isn't a forum I normally frequent,
