General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

We have never had an emergency so no idea of response times. If we forget to turn the alarm off and open a door there is an internal siren. Almost immediately we are connected to the alarm control centre who ask questions and we have to give them our password to satisfy them that it is us. The front doorbell has a camera and we can communicate via our mobile devices. There is a camera pointing to the drive that we can monitor from anywhere. We have had raccoons and a coyote during the night this week. We also control the heating and air conditioning from our phones. We can have the irrigation connected for a fee. As we were connected earlier in the year to high speed Internet all the equipment was obsolete so they replaced it all FOC.
