The Apollo C is probably one of the best motion detectors I've ever
worked with.  Chubb sold them exclusively to the residential and light
commercial markets (which is how I was introduced to the product) in
Canada.  SSI-2000 (a distributor that eventually "merged" with
Burtek/ADI years ago) used to handle them, but they were on the
expensive side (and consequently not very popular).
