TG-1, Honeywell Dialers, and Uplink - Help: Which one should I choose?
I'm currently searching for a new monitoring service and radio device.
I currently have an Ademco Vista 10SE panel. Sometime back I switched
from standard line-line service to VOIP. I know there are a few VOIP
monitoring options on the market (i.e. NextAlarm). However, I'm not
too sold on the reliability of my broadband network. Additionally, I
want to keep my system functioning in the event of a cut line or power
failure. I have spoken with a ton of monitoring companies and I have
read read a bunch of forums; all have led to some good suggestions.
I'm still at a crossroads, however. There are so many options on the
market. That is why I decided to ask the experts here on this forum.
The main devices I'm currently looking at include:
1. Telguard TG-1 -

2. Honeywell AlarmNet-C replacement models 7845GSM & 7845i-GSM -
http://www.security.honeywell.com/hsce/products/alarm/re/gsm/index.html
3. Uplink Digicell 1500 - http://www.uplink.com/DEALERS/products.asp
I'm not too keen on the Uplink, as it only reports burglary and fire.
The TG-1 seems to be more mature than the Honeywell product. On the
flip side, I'm sure the Honeywell products have a ton of really cool
features as a result. (I'm not to familiar with AlarmNet either.)
Here are my requirements:
* Easy to install - I will be installing myself (most likely). However,
I am open to getting help if this prevents me from finding the right
system.
* Full reporting ability - I want the ability to report panic,
burglary, fire, etc..
* Radio service - I am in search of a radio service as my primary means
of connectivity. GSM, GPRS, SMS, etc...
* Widely adopted - I'm looking for something that is compatible with
most monitoring services. I don't want to be pigeon hold into a
specific service.
I'm sure there are many other products that fit my needs outside of the
ones I listed. I, by no means, consider myself an expert on this
subject. I am only armed with the information I have found on the
internet the last two days. Therefore, I am very green. Any help will
greatly be appreciated.
