What generally happens to a home security system during a power outage?

Most home security systems switch to back up battery power during a power outage. If the system usually relies on a WI-Fi connection, it may also switch to a cellular backup connection during an outage. Some brands will only offer cellular backup in their premium plans so be sure to double-check the system's capabilities before you buy.
