# How Do I Get a GE NX-8 to Make a Phone Call?
The NX-8 is a home security system created by GE. This security system has technology that detects fires, burglaries and environmental disasters. It also includes features such as an event log, contact identification (I.D.) and a built-in siren. You can also program the GE NX-8 to make phone calls in the event of an emergency. Instead of trying to find your cell phone or running to your telephone, all you need to use is your home security system.
