should therefore be considered as one of many tools available to reduce
risk and/or damage of burglary, fire or other emergencies; such other tools
include, but are not limited to insurance coverage, fire prevention and
extinguisher devices, and sprinkler systems. We also strongly recommend
you to regularly maintain your security systems and stay aware of new and
improved Multicom products and developments. For those customers
who are using a security system connected to a non-traditional telephone
system, such as “Voice Over Internet Protocol” (VoIP) that converts the
voice signal from your telephone to a digital signal travelling over the
Internet, you should be aware that your alarm system may not function as
effectively as with traditional telephone systems. For example, if your VoIP
equipment has no battery back-up, during a power failure your system’s
ability to transmit signals to the central station may be compromised.
Or, if your VoIP connection becomes disabled, your telephone line
monitoring feature may also be compromised. Other concerns would
include, without limitation, Internet connection failures, which may be
more frequent than regular telephone line outages. We therefore strongly
recommend that you discuss these and other limitations involved with
operating an alarm system on a VoIP or other non-traditional telephone
system with your installation company. They should be able to offer or
recommend measures to reduce the risks involved and give you a better
understanding. The Multicom range of communication products are
designed to detect all communication failures within the network and
are designed to work effectively around traditional telephone systems
in addition to Non-Traditional Telephony such as VoIP, GPRS, 3G and
new communication mediums including the (NBN) National Broadband
Network.
