Re: Wireless Home Security Systems

Hi!

My real life experience with wireless is this:

I always prefer to have an hybrid system,why? cause all the system like
Simon ,Simon 2,links and such can be defeated too easily..

On the pet immune detector..most wireless detector are less then adequate
for this..
a good PID (pet immune detector) like the one made by paradox is not
wireless

if you can wire a few detector and have a few wireless part, this can make a
good system

many company make hybrid system(wired and wireless)

DSC Ademco Paradox are a few example,DMP and Napco too but this is a bit
pricey..(here at least there is a big price difference..)

having an hybrid system in your apartment can be a solid base for a future
system in your home (when you will buy one ;-)  )
