Can I Get a Home Security System Without a Phone Line in 2022?

While security systems have typically relied on a home phone or other landline to provide an around-the-clock link to the security company, the age of cell phones forced changes in the industry. These days, the comfort of security monitoring is available without the necessity and extra expense of a home phone line.

With more families choosing to forgo a home phone in favor of a group cell phone plan, it makes sense that security companies have found a way to evolve. Although cellular monitoring was originally developed to provide a backup in the event of a blackout or other home phone outage, many security companies now offer it as a standalone service.

The connection is maintained through cell towers near your home or by installing a cellular transmitter on your property.

Since there's no reliance upon a landline, internet connection, or electrical power, you won't worry about losing your security monitoring due to cut lines or other outages.

There are also extra benefits to having a security system that is linked to your cell phone, such as text alerts and remote access to your system from across town or across the country. And home automation features such as remote control of lights, locks, and the thermostat can also be included in your home alarm package.
