As the Siren is solar powered, as long as it has access to daylight the battery would constantly charge and store enough energy in one days charge to power it for a whole week. The estimated battery life would be 3-5 years in total.

Yes, both systems have this mode just as an anti tamper mechanism. However the ERA Homeguard has a sim card option, so if the WiFi connections drops, you would still be notified.

Unless the alarm has a sim card facility, for example the ERA HomeGuard Smart Alarm Pro - Junior Kit, you would not be contacted without a WiFi connection. The Sim card feature can also be used to reset the alarm at any time.

The alarm system would contact you via WiFi, however if your internet connectivity experienced problems the Sim card would only be used in emergency's to contact you so you do not need to top it up per month. You can always check the balance of your sim card by calling your provider.
