    Hello
    In my youtube profile, you can find a link to the website.

  3. Do you know how I could use a prepaid phone with my existing alarm system so I don’t have to have the land-line phone?

    1. You can buy a special GSM module for your alarm system.
    2. Or use a cell phone with speed dial function, connect 2 wires to one of the programmed speed dial button.
    Connect the wires to the contacts (Normal Open) of a small relay.
    The relay coil can be connected directly to the alarm siren (12VDC), but don’t forget to connect a protection diode (ex.1N4148) in anti-parallel with the coil.
    Or you can use a optoisolator, with current limiting resistor on the LED side (like in this project)

  5. Could you possibly post a video showing how to use a prepaid phone on a standard alarm system to relieve the need for a land-line? I have a Honeywell alarm that’s monitored by Monitronics. The monitoring is $33 a month and the phone line is $25 a month. I’d rather buy a prepaid phone once and save that $25 a month.

    If you have an alarm system monitored by a company:
    - ask the company about the GSM module (but I think such companies doesn’t offer GSM connections, because the GSM signal can be disturbed easily; the land-line connection is much safer).
    - you can’t connect a simple prepaid cell phone to a monitored system (the company will not allow this).

  7. great set up… ive done a few w/ an omron dc supply, A/B minisight, a carlo gavazzi multi timer, and a banner laser…

  8. damn, awesome set up, you should try to market these, you ever know?

    Thanks.
    You cannot sell legally any products like this, without certifications.
    As you can see I make only DIY projects and I have only a single unit (the prototype) and I didn’t want to sell it :)

    Gee, that’s inconspicuous

  13. SMART

  14. dude this is a bad ass set up u should get a patent on it good job can u tell me the basics of electronics to get me started on some projects like these?

    Google can help you a lot.

  16. BAD ASS!!!! BAD ASS!!!!

    too much time on your hands

  18. anglianchannel on June 26th, 2010 at 11:25 pm

    I have built several of these using a different technique and sold them to customers no problem

  19. @cyberelectronics nope.If phone line used then the burger cuts the pfhon line.

  20. The all in one alarms are junk.

  21. cyberelectronics on July 22nd, 2010 at 7:29 pm

    @peanut9357 what about mobile phone jammer :)

  22. @cyberelectronics I doubt a burglar could afford it,but that alarm could be ripped off the wall and smashed.

  23. It may look cool but wont deter burglars. Get A DOOR SENSOR AND SEPERATE THE KEYPAD FROM THE CONTROL panel.

  24. @peanut9357 its for experimentation only.

  25. cyberelectronics on August 4th, 2010 at 11:36 am

    @peanut9357 This is a demo project only
