Remove the provider from the equation and it is perfectly reliable to use "off the shelf" Linksys VoIP equipment for alarm transmission. The fact that they have built-in support for video, makes them a future-proof investment in the security of your home or business.

The real power of DIY security monitoring over the Internet is when IP Cameras are used alongside an alarm system. IP Cameras are ideal for the DIY community as they are so simple to install.

Still image snapshots are taken the instant your burglar alarm system is triggered, attached to an email and sent out to your cell phone. A regular alarm panel that dials over a telephone line can take anywhere from ten seconds to a minute to reach the operator screen in the Monitoring Center. The Linksys Alarm Monitoring solution has a special feature that obtains snapshots from IP Cameras instantly and does not have to wait for an alarm signal to reach the server.
