Will the connection to my phone line interfere with my home security system?

I would suspect not, but it would depend upon how the home security system is designed to interface with the phone line. The FA-700 requires a splitter so it can share the phone line. It does not "engage" and utilize the phone line unless the temperature in the house drops below a certain trigger point ... which, if I recall correctly, is in the 40s for this product. You can research this further online ... and probably call the company directly to get more specific information.

It should not interfere with a security system. I would look into your security system for a temp alarm, unless you are using this in an out building.

No.(I have an alarm system) The freeze alarm just dials out the prerecorded message when it drops below the default temp. If you shut down your house for the winter and go on the seasonal plan with your phone company or cable co. (get incoming calls but no out going ones) neither the freeze alarm or the security system will work. If you tell them you have an alarm system they will usually allow the outgoing calls at the seasonal rate.It is usually a good idea to test the the freeze alarm by putting outside the window on a cold day . i can't say enough good things about this product. It's not that expensive and works well. hope this helps. No.(I have an alarm system) The freeze alarm just dials out the prerecorded message when it drops below the default temp.

I don't know answer to your question because I'm using it with my cox home security system

I should think so. Just double check that your phone system at home will work with the unit. That would be the only problem.

It is unlikely that you would get an adequate signal if the powerline networking device were plugged into a surge suppressor. The manufacturer recommends plugging directly into the power outlet. Even extension cords are not recommended. No harm would be done by trying it though.

Yes. The connection sequence is from the wall jack to the call blocker, then to the phone. In most cases, our phone doesn't even ring when a blocked call is received.

If you use this as is, then you can't. If you install this with the telephone dialer, then the dialer itself is an alarm. so you can leave this unit in the utility room and install the dialer in your house. Between this sensor unit and the dialer is wireless.

Yes. On any wireless link, Trees, Climate, buildings, ect., may interfere with the connection between both points.

You should, but you might run into problems if there is an odd, or overly restrictive encryption on the signal.

It only stops the phone or fax machine that it is connected too... Not the whole house. Best way for that would be go wireless base station, and switch off that, and all the phones will be dead.

I am sorry, but this was purchased for someone else and installed by them. I have no idea regarding the connections and the other party has no telephone and lives away from here. Sorry!

This unit does not have anyway to connect to a wired or wireless switch system for doors and windows. It only senses a human being physically walking around in the room that unit is located in. Then it does one of two things. #1. Sounds it's siren and dials a phone number(s) and plays a recorded message to alert the dialed party(s) that the alarm has been tripped. Or you can keep the alarm silent and still have the unit silently dial a phone number(s) and play a recorded message to alert the dialed party(s) that the alarm has been tripped. That's it. With an OBI 100 VOIP Telephone Adapter for about $50.00 and VOIP phone service from PhonePower.com for $35.00 per year and using Google Voice (free) to ring my various phone numbers, I have a very inexpensive, very reliable and very effective burglar alarm system for my home configuration. There is another model that has a remote control that might be more convenient for some people or when installing and working with units in multiple rooms. Hope this information helps.

No, you shouldn't need that. First thing I would suggest is to confirm you are set to "away" mode under settings when away from your home network. If the problem is more complex than that, I would recommend setting up a call with customer service, as the fix takes several steps. The customer service rep is fantastic and will get it working.

Yes as long as you done have concrtetr or steel construction to interfere with the signal. If you do you need to be pretty close in range.

I don't think it interferes with the WIFI but the WIFI may interfere with it. It looks connection on a regular basis and has to be reconnected.

I believe your codes will work, you just won't be able to see any information on the app in your phone or on your computer. You can have one of these locks installed and not be tied in to any home electronic security system. What will affect the codes working is if the battery in the lock runs down. That's more important.
