Homeowner Forum / Security Alarms / August 2008Kill my phone line?
I've been reading about the Uplink, Skyroute, etc and I would like, if possible, to tie this into my z900 panel and abandon the landline. I understand that I must choose a monitoring co that handles Uplink (or Skyroute, etc) and reprogram the z900 Am I correct so far? I'm not an installer, but I have experience programming the z900, as well as troubleshooting addressable and non-addressable alarm systems So, what module(s) would I need to accomplish this? The only place I could find the Uplink pdf install and user manuals is on a pay site, so I gave up I won't buy anything until I can see the manuals first. It's the only way I can be sure that it can be done, as the promo literature is completely useless Thanks Joe jposi at gmail dot com You wouldn't have to reprogram the Moose, just use the siren output voltage to trip the Uplink. Keep in mind you won't get any zones only "Burg" "Fire" no details. Then you'll need a secondary (separate) Aux Power supply (2.5 amp min. is what I use) and another backup battery for the Uplink. The Uplink will send Aux Power Fail and Low Battery for IT"S battery and AC. It will test standard once a week IIRC, more than that you will pay extra. Now, you just have to find someone to install it for you, since you as a user will not be able to set up the Uplink account...and you'll still need a CS to monitor it. Uplink is universal, so you should have no prob. finding a CS, but you will have to do that through a licensed alarmco. You won't be able to program Uplink unless you have an Uplink dealer account btw. And...keep your cell phone on and charged all the time :-) hth.

It's one of those Rocket jobs. Had a lady call a couple of weeks ago that has a FBI 4600 panel in the home that she just moved into. She didn't want monitoring but wants the chime feature on. Told her there would be a service call charge. Reply was, "Never mind, my husband is very good with computers and programming. He'll be able to figure it out". OK, thank you for calling. Maybe they had the manuals and maybe it wasn't locked so maybe he can figure it out. Maybe. > On Jul 28, 9:32?am, "Crash Gordon" <webmas...@siriussystems.invalid> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > to figure it out". OK, thank you for calling.

I need a loan, but you need to come to my house to handle the paperwork at 3:00am, and I don't expect to pay any processing fees, closing costs or interest. >> On Jul 28, 9:32?am, "Crash Gordon" <webmas...@siriussystems.invalid> >> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > loan, but you need to come to my house to handle the paperwork at 3:00am, > and I don't expect to pay any processing fees, closing costs or interest. ... and I'm going to complain about how unfair you are if you give me a hard time if I miss a payment or five.

And here I thought that all the cheap skates lived in south Florida. I wrote an article for my newsletter one time about how people push the limit when it comes to paying for service or was it that they just didn't understand how it works. The reason for writing the article was that it seemed the most common statement was "what am I paying you every month for?" It slowed the comments down for awhile but there is another whole generation of clients since I wrote that article. Interesting how it is the same comment though. "What am I paying you every month for?" Sounds like a broken record or there might be a newsletter on the other side. Was there an article ever written on "How to screw the vendor?" OH...be nice...and just "drop by when you're in the area" Signature**Crash Gordon** > On Jul 28, 9:32?am, "Crash Gordon" <webmas...@siriussystems.invalid> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > to figure it out".

If you don't, you are obligated to pay back the difference in free service for the balance of the 5 year agreement. It's one of those "lose ... lose ...." situations. Is it a strudel lease then...or do I own it? Do I always then have to go to the same strudel lady for 5 years or can I buy/eat studel elsewheres as well?

The strudle is "Free"! You can use as much or as little as you want to..... but only as much as is offered. ( which is only offered when something is wrong with the system and you're in the area) Your only obligation is to provide service at no charge. And if you don't ..... then your are obligated to provide service at no charge. I mean ..... how much more clear can I make it? (Jeeeeeze. Perfect example ..... People just never read the damn contract.) Well heck and golly gee, you're right!...it's right there in 6 pt. Kanji.

SignatureIdiot Son http://www.bushflash.com/idiot.html If you're going to spend money on as cell type back up why use Uplink? I think I'd get a new Vista panel and use something like 7845i-GSM Total Connect from Honeywell or NX-8E and Alarm.com from GE. > I've been reading about the Uplink, Skyroute, etc and I would like, if > possible, to tie this into my z900 panel and abandon the landline.
