THE STORY:
A house in my neighbourhood was broken into a couple of weeks ago, and before they went in the thieves cut both the phone and cable lines which are right out there at the side of the house. The alarm went off and they simply disconnected the siren after the found it and went about their business.
My alarm currently is monitored via the phone lines but I can easily connect it to my VOIP line ... so I want to bypass the box picture below at which point my cable would be entirely underground and not so easy to cut.
THE QUESTION:
What is this box and what are the implications of bypassing it?
Thanks to all ... and, oh, make sure you go to the JAG thread in Handicapped Parking and play "Real or not real."
