I think if the alarm isn't able to communicate (through wired means or otherwise) with its sensors or its back end for a suitable period of time, it should be functionally equivalent to detecting a break in. That is; the alarm should sound, and the alarm company should call the cops (it'd have to be pretty difficult to accidentally lose contact, however.)
The entire point of an alarm is it goes off if something bad happens; not being able to go off is a bad thing.
- fabulist 12y agoI was thinking about this, and I realized there is a bigger problem. The sensors detected a break in, failed to report it, and apparently just forgot about it; it successfully engaged in the protocol designed to detect jamming, but didn't use that window of opportunity to report the break in.
