FBII StarFone - 80s tech, it talks, and you can control it with your phone 

I would not call "SimpliUnsafe" high end at all

@@NewAgeServerAlarm i do agree they’re really flawed especially in how easy they are to bypass for anyone with a simple signal jammer fob. I only meant high end as in with gimmicks.

@@NewAgeServerAlarmI have that system as seen in a video of mine, however now I call it sh*t. It does not run correctly as I want it to like it did in 2018. They discontinued a bunch of things I liked

was hoping someone would appreciate that ;)

FBII was owned by Pittway at the time this was made and they got absorbed into Ademco when Pittway bought them too. Several other companies did this as well though, including ITI who despite not being first, did actually do it better than this. It’s going to be a future video..

@@NewAgeServerAlarm ahh I see, however with Ademco’s version, it had the voice similar to the 6160V

Armed. Away. exit. NOW. Instead of a voice synthesizer chip like the StarFone It’s actually a bunch of recordings of a person basically reading words or phrases from a script.

@@NewAgeServerAlarm yes

@@NewAgeServerAlarmthat’s also pretty much was happened to the FBII VS279, the VS299 does not use a voice chip, it uses recordings from a similar voice

Me too, to the point where a few years ago I purchased one, purely due to how sleek and well-fitting the keypads are. People don't even notice I have an alarm system because they blend so well with the house. These new wireless systems are absolute crap, I watch ADT eviscerate my friends properties leaving wires showing, and that huge ugly keypad of theirs slapped on a random wall. Not to mention the fact that if you get in and smash an ADT wireless keypad before the entry delay, the system is dead. Smash these keypads all you want, the system will still run. I coupled the system with a dial capture cellular dialer that gives the system reliable cellular monitoring that works seamlessly. It's a shame they don't manufacture systems like this anymore. The security industry has lost it's way and is focused on money only, which means very quick installs of slap and stick wireless systems, in which nobody needs a "security expert" to install.

There is a way to factory default these panels actually. I just didn't show it in the video.

No the ABCD tones aren't supported as almost nobody actually had a phone that had that capability

those are pretty resilient panels so i’m surprised it’s not working.. did you check the fuses and make sure your 12VAC transformer is working ?

@@NewAgeServerAlarm I’ll eventually take another look at it. I’m planning on setting up my good old Silent Knight 2615 in my room at some point, just need more wire.

I thought the same thing, honestly

It actually does lol i thought the same

Yeah actually, my Sur-Gard receiver which you saw in this video does take DMP format. I do however also have a DMP single line receiver as well.

@@NewAgeServerAlarm could that receiver take outside alarm? Or is it only local? Because if it could take outside alarms, that would be a cool video. That would be a cool video some setting off there alarm for testing purposes from like a different state and it sending you signals. I would love to see what my alarm signal look like on the other end.

@@user13424 I have 2 videos of mine on my channel. It can take calls from wherever you can call it from.

That is actually the exact same one

@@NewAgeServerAlarm Well what do you know...

A panel that has been constantly moved and put into silence, what do ya know?

I do have a few Moose panels. You can see the keypad for one in this video and the intro actually!

as long as you can convert a voip line to an analog line, yes

Yep and I accidentally changed the master code on it once.... so that was.. FUN

It would, just you can only use double round pulse as that receiver oddly can’t do pulse with parity

@@NewAgeServerAlarm Okay. I looked on the CS-4000 manuals and it said it wasn't compatible with touch tone systems which kind of confused me. Also could this hypothetically be used in tandem with a SX-V with this acting as a 'slave' unit / phone line? Also where were you able to find this, I've been trying to look for a StarFone now myself and all I see on Google are manuals for it

what kind of modern system?

@@NewAgeServerAlarm its an ADT, not sure what model. though i live in the UK, so it may be different from the US ones. i'll have to check.

You’re absolutely correct

Yes but the difference is that they are recorded voices rather than the voice chip
