Linksys Alarm Monitoring Solution

Bay Alarm are a popular company for alarm monitoring service and we get regular inquiries asking if our Linksys solution works with their monitoring service. Here is a typical inquiry:

I recently switched to Vonage which deactivated the monitoring capabilities of my Bay alarm service. I wanted a way to restore the monitoring service without getting into the pricier options that Bay Alarms is recommending.

It is simple to reliably transmit alarm signals to their facility over the Internet when you have VoIP phone service. Using standard "off the shelf" Linksys VoIP equipment and our "IP to POTS" network, you can easily transmit alarm signals over your Internet connection into the Bay Alarm Monitoring facility. We have partnered with a number of telco companies who are able to take a call from your alarm panel over IP and switch it onto the POTS landline system without any of the issues associated with normal VoIP service.

a) Purchase your own Linksys VoIP ATA or Router from any local or online supplier.

b) Pay the one-off $15 Account Setup Fee to voip-alarm.com

c) Download our custom alarm monitoring settings from our server into your Linksys adapter.

d) Carry out tests to confirm reliable operation.

e) If you are happy with the solution, create a non-binding $4.95 per month subscription with PayPal to continue the "IPtoPOTS" service.

There is no need for programming your alarm panel and you do not need to change your account in any way at Bay Alarm
