Posted by On a GE system home security system panel, which uses OnStar, can the security system or anyone else "listen in" to your home without you knowing it?
I know , I sound paranoid, but I have no experience with OnStar or anything like it and the salesman said that when the alarm is tripped the operator will be able to hear basically anyone in my house.
I’m just wondering if it’s possible for anyone at the security company (which I’m afraid isn’t the most reputable) or some type of "hacker" could listen in to my home without the alarm indicating this or without there being any other indication.
we have something like that but its life-alert, we have a box with a loudspeaker on it, its also attached to our fire alarm, as soon as the system is tripped on our end the loudspeaker turns "live" and the office can hear what is going on in our house and they can talk with us, but only when its tripped on our end. they cannot turn it on whenever they want that their end.
