AddSecure highlights network redundancy for alarm systems
Network outages expose security systems' vulnerabilities. AddSecure advises installers that single network dependency is insufficient for reliable monitoring.
Increasingly frequent network outages are highlighting the critical dependency of security systems on stable connectivity. AddSecure, a provider of security solutions, is now emphasizing to alarm installers that relying on a single network connection creates significant risk.
Major internet service provider (ISP) failures can leave numerous monitoring systems inoperable, preventing communication with central monitoring stations and undermining customer security. This situation is particularly problematic for installers serving high-value properties, where clients expect continuous surveillance.
The industry's shift from traditional analog lines to IP-based systems has introduced new vulnerabilities. While older telephone lines had their own issues, they were immune to the widespread digital disruptions that can disable thousands of connections simultaneously.
AddSecure stresses that true resilience requires network-level redundancy. This means implementing dual-path signaling using independent networks from different operators. If the primary connection fails, a secondary connection from another network automatically takes over, ensuring uninterrupted communication and security.
