Re: replacing radionics panel

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

VoIP is not reliable yet for alarms.

Radionics usually requires a Radionics dealer, find one and you won't have a
problem with programming. But, VoIP will still be unreliable. And Radionics
sends in several formats so it's not proprietary...that's just an excuse
some companies use if they don't know the product. (yet there ARE
proprietary panels...like Brinks)

| Hi,
|  I recently bought a house that came with a security system.  The main
| control panel is a radionics 2412U or something like that.  The existing
| company is giving me a tough time on my VOIP setup - hey its not my fault
| they won't support a new and fast growing technology.
|  A lot of companies (the few that support VOIP) have told me the panel I
| have should be replaced as it uses a proprietary data format and is tough
to
| reprogram.
|
|  I am thinking of replacing the panel myself - so my question is - what
| should I replace it with?  The house has only a 5 zones so supposedly any
| panel will suffice.
|
|  Please help this aspiring DIYer.
|
| TIA,
| CJ
