I assume you have the Qolsys IQ Panel. Telus uses that in 99% of home install. When your wifi connection fails, it switches to it's cellular backup so it's always connected. The system is monitored 24/7 and they're VERY responsive to any alarms.

If you don't have Wi-Fi internet, as long as you have power of the control panel, the security will still work.
It has cellular sim card for back up internet.I assume you have the Qolsys IQ Panel. Telus uses that in 99% of home install. When your wifi connection fails, it switches to it's cellular backup so it's always connected. The system is monitored 24/7 and they're VERY responsive to any alarms.
