I’m trying to help my parents get rid of their landline, which they still have at their house. The monthly charge is now pretty high. The only thing that uses the landline is the security system installed over 20 years ago when the house was built. The panel is a Caddx NX-8E, and everything still works fine. My parents don’t care about smart-home features, and I don’t know what I’m looking at when I open the panel, so I’m not interested in replacing it with something modern.
My main concern is getting rid of the landline. What are my options for converting the panel to cellular monitoring? I’ve heard there are add-ons that trick the panel into thinking it’s still on a landline, but they convert the signal to work on the cellular network and send it to the monitoring company. Is this feasible with these old panels? Thanks!
