Re: Building a Central Station

["Dana Wiegner" <dana.wiegner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Get MAS software made by GE.

You need at least two Surguard three receivers.

You need a professional to help you set this up.

You need a lot of phone lines coming in for 10000

Our server room itself is worth over 7 million and we only have 60,000.

To be come a UL or ULC (in Canada) requires redundancy, which requires some
sort of back up. probably off site.

You must set up your station in a small town.  where you can get cheaper
labor from an older crowd.  DO NOT fill your station with young staff.

that's all I can think of.   Sorry these other guys on here get off on there
own tangent about there own person al shit
