12.1 About Your Security System
12.1.1 Overview
Your security system includes a telephone line seizure feature.
Your alarm company can program your system to send reports
over the phone line to an ARC. You cannot use your phone
when the system is sending reports to the ARC.
If the ARC is unable to receive reports, your phone service
might be unavailable for up to 20 min as the system tries to
contact the ARC.
If your phone service is interrupted, your security system
cannot send reports to the ARC unless it has another way of
sending them.
Your security system helps to secure life, property, and investments
against fire, theft, and bodily harm. It might consist of one or more
keypads, door or window sensors, motion sensors, and fire detection
devices. Each device is connected to a control panel.
12.1.2 Limitations
Not even the most advanced security system can guarantee coverage
against burglary, fire, or environmental threats. All security systems are
subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons
including, but not limited to, the following:
• If sirens or horns are placed outside the hearing range of people in
remote areas of the building or in areas that are frequently closed off,
they do not provide the intended protection.
• If intruders gain access through unprotected zones of entry, the
system cannot detect their entrance.
• If intruders have the technical means of bypassing, jamming, or
disconnecting all or part of the system, they cannot be detected.
• If the AC power supply is off and the standby battery is either missing
or dead, detectors cannot detect intrusion.
