Good point.  The guide is intended to give an overall view of the types of
systems -- not many specifics.  I'm planning to add a series of pages that will
discuss wired and wireless components in greater detail.

Yes.  Though there are a number of folks who just go online and order, most
alarm system sales still involve at least one phone conversation.  I'm trying to
provide enough information online so we can answer less of the general questions
and concentrate on the specifics.  As this develops there will be more
discussion of things like RF range, etc.

I've found a few lens calculators at various manufacturers' websites.  I can
post links to them but online files have a habit of being moved, renamed or
deleted so I'd rather make my own using scripting.  The hard-drive calculator
*was* working this morning.  Then we started editing it and [sigh].  I'll get it
fixed shortly.  The guide page, when finished, will hopefully be able to take a
person all the way through the ordering process.  After answering a series of
questions about the number and types of scenes to be recorded, type of premises,
etc., the site will generate a dynamic listing of systems matching the scope and
features requested.  That's going to be more of a technical challenge than the
alarm guides.

I checked it out.  It's good because a novice can understand a graphic of a
human target better than statistics.  I'll place a link to it on my site until I
have time to develop my own.

I found it.  There's a link on the lens page.
