The client must notify the company of any additional services to this communication line. The company will supply at the clients expense any filters or programming needed to enable a non-impaired signal to communicate to the monitoring station.

10. The exclusive use of a telephone line for communication of signals from the alarm control panel cannot be viewed as a guaranteed method for transportation of signals to the Central Monitoring Station. It is recommended that an alternate method of communication be applied to the Standard telephone line or VoIP interface, and therefore, we recommend one of the following options a) Supervised network connection using internet protocols. These connections will notify the client or station of any connection loss from client’s location to central monitoring station. b) Cellular Communicator that is interconnected to the security communications ports and is enabled to transmit all signals to the monitoring station via cellular communications services. email services may be enabled to notify the client if or when the communication cycle or signals do not reach the destination in a predetermined cycle.

11 In some cases, Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) telephony adapters may work as a substitute to local Plain Old Telephone Service connections (POTS) lines. It is recommended that if this medium is chosen as your preferred communication path, it should be tested on a weekly basis to the company authorized monitoring station. All the electronic networking and telephony equipment that is associated with this method of telecommunication must have an adequate backup power source to ensure transmission of signals during periods of pow-er interruption. It is also recommended that the client consider section 14 paragraph 15 of this agreement.

12. The client understands that the security system and its components are not guaranteed to function as engendered after initially installed and tested by the Palladium Security System installation technician. It is understood that over time some components may fail due to wear and tear or other acts of god. The client understands that they must perform a full system test of all security equipment for both local functionality and remote communications. Each of the systems detection, control, annunciation devices and interfaces must be tested on a weekly basis. If equipped, the security systems internal logs will store these tests for verification purposes. All communication tests will be performed to ensure all communications from the client’s location to the Palladium Authorized monitoring station will be logs at the station for future reference.

13. This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario.
