Awesome. That is really good to know. I would have got one of these things
already but I stumbled on some older threads that cast doubt in my mind.
I'd love that Paradox Magellan system, but it looks like it would be $450
or so to set up, with all the sensors I require, vs. $200 for the
PowerMax+.

Also, these wireless systems sort of look like neat "toys" in their own
right, hee hee, so I think I'm going to get one.

As well as following the advice of increasing the physical security.

Even without monitoring, I imagine the loud sirens scare off 60% of would
be burglars at least ... particularly in a crowded apartment complex/city
like environment. If you live in the quiet suburbs where there are big
lots, then it might be another story entirely.
