Question:
I just moved into new house that had working ADT Focus 32 (DSC Power
832) system installed on it. I dont plan to subscribe to monitoring and
want to do local monitoring. Currently the display panel shows Trouble
light (I believe from previous owners telephone being disconnected). I
know the passcode for the system.
Can you guys please guide me how can I set this system to work locally.
If everything is already set up right, how i can i get rid of trouble
light because of telephone being disconnected.
can I set adt alarm company to work locally?
Answer:As you may have gathered by now, these panels are not targeted by
manufacturers at the DIY market, and there is zero support at that
level too. Pretty much everything is stacked against the owner of the
alarm unless you want to use the services of a local installer / alarm
company. Although monitoring IS a vital part of your alarm system (and
something you really shouldn't skip), most of them will try to lock you
into a long term contract for monitoring services even when you fully
own the system ! This is very much a closed, self serving industry !! I
dislike it too; and it's unfortunate, but that's just the way it is !!
