Re: Remote construction site monitoring.

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't write the spec, let the security companies design and propose.

I used to have a couple of mobile units that we'd lease out...they ain't
cheap to build (although I've seen a few lately that look like they are
pretty cool) - but, we built ours. They worked fine but very expensive to
upkeep and repair after the vandals used them for target practice.

I go through this same scenario about every few months with local builders,
give them the pros/cons and then the price...thats when they barf. I won't
even talk to them anymore, it's a waste of time designing and proposing
something they don't want to pay for.

| Would like your thoughts on how to spec a request for bid for single home

| Many of our construction sites are being burglarized by the meth addicts.

the

daily.

| We were looking qt the LYNX-D unit from Eclipse:

| Also, we would like to alarm this system. Motion and/or IR detectors are
the

to

when
| the construction site does not have phone service yet.

|
|
| I have looked at the Caddx NX-591e Cellular Backup System.

|
| Do any of you here sell such equipment?
