Re: LOCKED PANEL

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I say MY because I installed them, but they were paid in full...not leased,
and no...not locked...well, 2 of the 4 were not locked.
Brinks wouldn't take them over they wanted to sell the owner their own
proprietary crap...although they could easily have taken them (unlocked
Vistas)...the other two they wouldn't have taken them even if they were
unlocked. In all cases they didn't even try a take over - the salesmen just
wanted to sell...but the new owners weren't buying.

| Just for clarification .... when you say "MY system" I'm presuming
| that this is a system that you installed and your customer paid for
| and you're now monitoring it   ??????
|
| I'm asking because .....there are those people who say, that after a
| panel is paid for, that you should unlock it. That it belongs to the
| subscriber. Which .... it seems that this is a case that if Brinks
| were to find the panel unlocked, that they'd take it over in a second,
| because they;d be the first one there and you'd be SOL at even having
| a shot at it.
|
| So, it seems that to the "anti Lockout people"..... locking out a
| panel is only good if you keep the account away from a National
| company but not alright if it's a small company........ or one that
| only thrives on doing takeovers?
|
| Funny how that works   ..... huh?
|
| Must be these "anti lockout people" have some kind of a "thing" just
| for the Nationals. Or .... who knows ...... could be that they're just
| hypocrites in desguise.
