I've mostly sold Paradox' wired motion detectors -- only a few panels.  The
motions work well if they're installed according to the directions.  I've
had very few problems with several hundred of the DG75 and DG85 motions out.
I looked at that all-in-one Magellan which is targeted at fast-install guys
like Milford and/or DIY sales.  With more functions than a Swiss army knife,
it looks interesting but (1) I've never liked all-in-one panels; and (2)
most of my clients want more protection than it can handle.

Physically dropped?

I spent some time with one of their reps recently (went to a different
restaurant just in case :)).  They look like a good player so far.  The only
problem for me is not many clients know about the line.

That should be pretty popular.  I sell a lot of bi-directional keyfobs from
Napco.  People really like them.
