With all the different options for home security monitoring today, many of our customers have questions about whether they need home phone service or an Internet connection to have an [ADT monitored security system](https://www.californiasecuritypro.com/blog/?Tag=ADT+Monitored+Home+Security+System). It depends upon the type of security system you have installed and what type of ADT monitoring service you decide is best for you.

We will take a look at the two security systems we install most often. The [DSC 9057 Impassa wireless security system](http://www.dsc.com/index.php?n=products&o=view&id=1385) and the [DSC 1832 Power Series](http://www.dsc.com/index.php?n=Products&o=view&id=2) "hybrid" security system that works with hard wired and wireless security devices.

Look at the tables below to help you understand what type of security systems and[ ADT monitoring services](https://www.californiasecuritypro.com/ADT-California-monitoring-service/pricing-guide/) require home phone and Internet services.
