Anyone see any reasons why I can't share an account number at an
installation where there is an existing fire alarm reporting to a
central station and I have recently added a separate security system.
They are using separate phone lines. Why couldn't I have both report to
the same account number? If they had to report at the same time one
would get a busy signal for a minute then be able to report after the
1st one was done. Or is this a bad idea?
TIA

The issue wouldn't be so much the signals banging into each other at the
reciever...reciever can deal with that.

First...I wouldn't do it with a fire system.

But, I have done it with large homes where it was impractical or impossible
to run the main house and the barn (1/4 mile away) on the same system, so I
put a monster system in the main house and a baby system in the barn. The
house uses zones 5-40, and the barn uses zones 1-5...report in same format
to same account# and make notes in CS zoning where sigs are coming from.
Problem: which system fails to test?, which system is sending AC fail or
low battery? Welp, if your CS has CID ability on signals you could tell if
the barn and main house were on different phone lines.

Kinda funky way of doing things for owner that doesn't want to pay for two
accounts.

The solution is simple.

Use 4/2 format.

Instead of making compromises like that just use 2 account numbers, I hate
it when 2 systems are set like this
