| All you have to do is check with a few neighbors that took the option.
|
| 1. They use the DSC PC1555 exclusively.
| 2. They only install 1 keypad most times.
| 3. They only install 1 inside siren, which is looped to an optional
outside
| siren in the garage attic area.
| 4. They do prewire for a motion & smoke, but usually run the wiring to the
| attic hatch nearest the panel.
| 5. The ran a Cat 5 cable to the dmarc or to the home networking box.
| 6. They don't do custom installations. Their technicians would then be
| required to think...which is not allowed.
|
| They run the company like a giant boiler room manned by robots.
|
| Let them install their junk. Then afterwards call a real alarm company
that
| will listen to your needs.
