Redcare is a dedicated phone line that has some form of self checking in place. Esentially if the line is cut that triggers the alarm monitoring centre. Often one of the things a bruglar will do is to try and sever a phone line so the alarm when triggered can't send a signal to the call centre giving the burglar pehaps a bit more time to do his thing before someone would arrive. Thus if you want your alarm to be reliably monitored redcare is the only practical solution. As a next level up I've heard of some alarms being backed up wth a mobile phone type remote calling too.
