Re: Opinions on alarms systems configured/monitored over IP network

["Jackcsg" <nospam@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Radionic's will be your most expensive option. You should look at DMP, the
head end will be 2/3 cheaper, and all field equipment will be about 1/3 the
cost of Radionic's, plus the product line is backward/forward compatible up
and down the entire product line. No software fees, dongle horse crap, or
expensive monitoring solutions. What you see as $9,100 with Radionic's would
cost under $4K with DMP. I was a Radionic's dealer for 8 years....now I
actually make money, have half the stock. I've been using DMP's Network
Routers for 5 years, and built a Central Station in 2002 totally dedicated
to Internet Monitoring (TCP/IP), with video verification. Been there done
it....
