It's gonna work..for sure.. the thing is that you will not receive the notification that one of the defense areas is on alert

Yes, a phone line is required in order for the system to dial out. My recommendations is simple talk, vonage or Verizon's home phone connect.

No. Alarms require a standard POTs line. Most alarms do offer a network module upgrade so it can communicate over a network. You have to have all your internet backbone (modem, router, hubs etc. on battery backup ).

I initially had a land line. Last week I set up a Ooma phone (VOIP), and it did call out the alarm to the three designated numbers. I was able to cancel the call out during that call. So far, the only thing that is a little less reliable is if you call into the alarm during an alarm situation. It took several times to get that to work. I am satisfied with its functionality on the Ooma phone. I did install a power back up system for the phone set, router and Ooma station. So it should work during an outage for long enough to send out the call--unless cable is down too.

Not for the basic system. You only need a phone line if you want to use the system to call you or someone else should a break in occur.

mine doesnt, never tied in to system via phone line even after trying two different control panels. The alarm just sounds. I dicussed this with the company and they never fixxed it. I'm very disappointed in it!!!!

G. Larsen .. My alarm was acting strange at one point until the cable company ( Bright house ) replaced the cable modem for a upgrade of the obsolete unit .. the tech said the old unit was momentarily blinking off .. while this was not detectable using the phone it triggered the alarm.

I tried to use without alarm but foind it would not dial without the 9 volt battery installed. I suppose you could disable the speaker or cover it with tape.

Yes, it sends outbound calls from the land line you connect it to. It would be the same as someone picking up the phone and making a call. If you were referring to the inbound call from this device, the answering machine will pick up and the device will deliver the message but since no one is responding it will hang up and call the next programmed number. It continues to do this until someone acknowledges the message by keying in one of two sequences (*0 to disable system or # to acknowledge and keep the system active so it will call again in 30 minutes if the alarm situation is still present).

The lock does have a built in alarm with siren. You can program it without a smartphone and the lock works without a smartphone.

For it to call a phone number you do, alarm will still work with out phone line, it just can't call out. Amazon does have wireless phone jacks that plug into power outlet that work pretty good if you have a room with out a phone jack.

Hi, the GSM dialer can call many numbers, it depends on your alarm control panel. Thanks.

It is unlikely that the unit will work over a VOIP type of phone. Typically a VOIP phone has its own program and/or chipset to that takes care of all calls. (thats why most VOIP phones are fairly large and look like a modem/router) The alarm module isn't that sophisticated... it is similar to a 56K modem that just dials out on a standard (not IP) phone line.

Will the OBi work with existing alarm systems that use the phone line to call for help?

Yes, I have alarm.com and they work perfectly once paired to my control panel. You will need your installer code to do this though.
