That's not the case????
You only deal with the people who can't program them so you think that
nobody can or that everybody doesn't use them. The people who can
program them have no use for you. And anyone stupid enough to use a
National central station can't be that bright to begin with.

Duhhhhh!

I said:

" Even though both Napco and Ademco, were based in the NY metro
area, Napco was the most popular panel by far, for many, many years.
It may still be, but I don't know."

Yes ..... in my area Napco is the predominant panel. I'm sure there
are other areas where other equipment is more popular than Ademco too.
I seem to remember that in some of the nothern mid west states, there
were a number of fairly large alarm companys that were exclusive FBI
for decades.

As far behind in technology as Ademco has been for decades, it can
only be due to their multiple points of distribution and their deep
pockets that keeps them a major supplier.
