Interlogix Simon XT: Using Phone Line Monitoring
In this video, Jorge discusses how phone line monitoring can be used with an Interlogix Simon XT Alarm System. By default, phone line connectivity is the only possible method for monitoring a Simon XT. But most users will want to upgrade the system to use cellular or upgrade to a new panel entirely.
The Interlogix Simon XT has various cellular modules available that can be purchased and installed inside the system. Each cellular module connects with a particular cellular network, and the user should make sure to choose a network that works particularly well in their area. Interlogix has released cellular modules that connect with various LTE networks, like the AT&T LTE Network and the Verizon LTE Network. Going with an LTE network is recommended, as it will provide faster speeds and improved reliability over older, less efficient cellular networks. Please note that the Simon XT System must be running firmware version 1.3 to support any cellular communicator.
There are many reasons why a user would want to use cellular monitoring with their alarm system instead of phone line monitoring. Phone line connectivity is extremely unreliable by today's standards, and the connection is known for being very slow. Additionally, a potential intruder can gain access to the phone line and cut the connection to render the alarm system useless. Cellular connectivity is much faster and more reliable. It is also nearly impossible to tamper with a cellular connection. Finally, a cellular connection will continue to work even when the power is out.
When using a cellular communicator, all signal transmissions will be passed through the Alarm.com servers. This means that a user can access the Alarm.com service to gain greater control over their security system. A user can access Alarm.com at any time to arm and disarm their system, check the status of sensors, control smart home devices and more. Alarm.com can be accessed through a web browser or through the Alarm.com Mobile App on Android and iOS devices.
