Why this decision matters
Loss of a remote feature should not be confused with proof that every local function has failed.
Work through the actual task
- Identify whether the reporting route uses broadband, mobile service or both.
- Check the supported local status and report any recent router change.
- Write down the expected behaviour during a connection loss and the way the system reports it.
Worked example
The siren operates locally but the app reports an offline system. This is a hypothetical example, not a completed customer installation.
The useful evidence at the end of this example is: A clear description of local operation versus failed notification delivery.
Limits and follow-up
A siren, an app alert and professional monitoring are separate features. Confirm who receives a signal and what they are expected to do.
If the relevant check cannot be completed, record what remains uncertain and who will resolve it before work or sign-off proceeds.
