Intruders know that cutting the phone line means NO communication and NO police response. But Hammond's Phone-Free Communication is phone free and hassle-free, providing emergency transmission that cannot be disabled by a storm, falling tree, or intruder.
What makes Phone Free Communication so reliable?
Developed over the past twenty years, Hammond's robust two-way radio network does not require wires, cell towers or third party providers. Phone Free Communication is the most reliable and secure way to send emergency alarm signals which cannot be interrupted by merely cutting a phone line.
What is Phone Free Communication?
When it has a signal to send, your system will automatically select the best route using our web of interconnected radio sites with overlapping coverage of the Mid-Hudson Valley. Unlike backup systems that use cellular communications or nationwide network services, Hammond's Phone Free Communication is not dependent on third parties for lease or maintenance. With phone-dependent communication, a tree or an intruder can disable phone communication - thereby disabling your security. With Phone-Free Communication, you can be sure that Hammond will receive your emergency signal every time, and provide you with a quick response for true security.
What happens at Hammond when an intruder cuts my phone line?
When your phone line is cut, Hammond instantaneously receives a "loss of dial tone" signal by radio, which immediately puts your account on high alert. When this signal is followed by an intrusion signal sent by our Phone Free Communication system, we immediately dispatch the police authorities to a confirmed emergency. "We’ve received a phone line cut followed by an intrusion signal. The intruder may still be there, thinking he’s disabled the system.” As you would expect, the police treat your emergency with the highest priority.
