The Rokonet 6000's looked like good units...  They had a look-down zone
and everything.  A "snap" to install and walktest, but the strange thing
about them was the fact that after about five minutes of no activity in
the room, they'd "fall asleep".  You could walk from one side of the
room to the other and they wouldn't "blink".  When you walked back, all
of a sudden they'd "perk up".  We replaced a bunch with Paradox units...
  Never bought Rokonet again.
