Re: Lufkin Security Experiances

The most common questions on the P series is

1. how to address the keypads
2. Keyfobs won't work unless linked to a user
3. Scheduling

Once you get past that it is much like a Vista-10SE, still not a DIY'er
panel if you ask me

I'd rank DSC easiest to program, then the 15P, then the Napco

It's not that bad...the 10se was easier to program though.
It's easier than a Napco or DSC  methinks.
