Re: What if a burglar breaks in and short out the wire on my keypad

[Mike <mlgreve@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a thought. What if somebody were to get into the door with the
delay ? Get to the keypad while there is about 30 seconds to enter the
code. Lets just say that the keypad is removed and the power wires
were twisted together. Now the system is not yet in alarm. Maybe the
person I was talking to has no idea of what he was talking about.He
was saying that the main board would be frozen in it's last state
which was waiting for a code to be entered. Right now my keypad is
close to the door. I am trying to decide if I should have it moved to
the hallway.
