Re: Wireless - Simon 3 or Visonic Powermax Plus

Sir, the "all in one" alarms" were designed for several applications. One
was for a simple, easy to install and usually temporary installation for
external buildings, small trailers or simple applications where running
wires would not be easy or cost effective in time. The second was for the
"mass marketers" who generally throw in the easiest, simplest system they
can simply to get your name on a long term contract. They usually could care
less about the coverage. Unfortunately, in the rush for RMR (recurring
monthly revenue), many less than forthright companies are "shoehorning"
these minimalistic systems in applications where they should never be used.

This is not to say the equipment is bad. Not so; most of it is quite good
technically speaking. However, it's the application of that equipment that
is lacking. Go with a full coverage, proper hardwired system, using wireless
only for those contact points where you genuinely can't get a wire to. Such
a system will serve you better, more reliably, for a longer time, and is
MUCH better value for your money.
