Crash and Smash
Technology.
Criminals have been carrying out Crash and Smash attacks for a long time. It became a widespread security problem in recent years as more criminals identified numerous ineffective alarm setups — due to the weak, insecure and vulnerable design of central stations that include ADT, Xfinity and AT&T communication.
Smashing the keypad
Criminals kick open a door and quickly smash the keypad. Disabling the keypad before the alarm is triggered doesn't just render the system inoperative — it also stops it from transmitting or dialing an alarm to the central station.
When you enter an armed home you have about 60 seconds to punch in your pin. If you don't before it counts down to zero, the system transmits or dials the central station to report an alarm. But what if someone broke in and smashed the keypad while it is counting down? The system is now dead. It is not counting anymore. It will never get to zero, which means it will never transmit or dial out.
Just like trying to dial 911 — but someone smashes your cell before you hit send. Your call never goes out.
Always on the line. 24/7.
The way around Crash and Smash is to have communication to the monitoring station always on and not waiting to dial out — but rather already dialed in 24/7 and on the line with the central station. Any interruption of the keypad or loss of signal is considered an alarm. Just like being already on the phone with 911, 24/7.
This is Crash and Smash Technology and EXCLUSIVE Protection. The day the system is installed, it never hangs up. Always on the line. This is true, live monitoring.
Even trying to jam GSM cellular signals causes an interruption of the 24/7 live connection — which triggers a loss of signal. Which is our signal. Which is an immediate alarm.
