I have a lot of problems with any system relying on a single path of communication that doesn't utilize a professional monitoring center for alarm dispatch.
Communication systems go down all the time, our most basic systems have dual communication. Internet and Cellular. Even the app is redundant and changes from one path to the other if one is down. A security system is only as good as the user or monitoring station receiving that burglary notification. Professional monitoring stations have a lot of redundancies that someone's iPhone doesn't have. Personally I have zero interest in relying on my phone to alert me of a burglary.
That being said, I have no doubt that products like this will become more popular. Figuring out how to bring this way of thinking to the professional security market will be key to our survival.
