Re: A movie with an alarm system. help Required.

["Rockytsquirrel" <gafa@xxxxxxx>]

back in the day,  acron  panels  av-6000, av-8000  with the series 3 or 4
keypad,  had the led's  stay on when armed..
(could be programed off after 10-15 seconds.)

also  we have seen  at least one system  with a radio chip reader at the
front door that would bypass the door when the chip holder passed through.
would rearm after they got out of range  (usually 2-3 feet)

best one  I ever saw  was with clint eastwood  as the thief in "Executive
Power"   the house  he burgled  has a firelite fire alarm  they were using
as a burglar alarm
with a flashing red light on a pir  as the warning indicator..   it looked
like he attached his code reader to the telephone transformer..   I guess he
was doing a remote disarm..  LOL
