Kevin Hawkins will have to take the blame for putting me on to the Ademco
Galaxy panels. I was originally looking at the nappco panels.

http://www.ademco-microtech.co.uk/

Plus points:

Its a _proper_ alarm panel.
It can be monitored for Police response if you have that as an insurance
requirement.
Great expandability.
Ethernet interface available.
It doesn't have X10 ( To me thats a plus, to others its a negative ;)
Standard G60 upgradeable to 60 zones.
G512 upgradeable to 512 zones if you need that.
Supported by very big company.
KH is looking at xAP support
DB is looking at Homebrain support

Neg points:

It doesn't have x10 (see plus points)
Not very HA mainstream


Cheers, Des.
