Main reasons I like them are They"ve been reliable, the price, and because they're round (easy to mount in any location unlike the rectangular shaped units)  I have their 5709 tester which I use (for what it's worth) to test each of the units. Haven't had any false alarms and when I've had occasion to test the units well after installation they work ok. However, I have not had an occasion where they have actually detected an intrusion.

I figured that there wouldn't be a replacement for the round units. I kind of figured right. I think it's Honeywell who now has a round detector but it's more that twice the price of the GE units. Good move on their part but we'll see if the market will allow them to hold that price for any length of time. I'm hoping by the time I run out of what I bought there'll be some equivalent replacements available.

Their product line keeps advancing so I haven't zeroed in on any specific models. I've done about 6 - 7 jobs so far using their equipment. including two commercial systems. From two cameras residential to 11 cameras commercial. Had to return two cameras out of about 30/40. no NVR's Pretty sure there's a two year warranty. I'm dealing with a local distributor but I think INViD sells direct also. You'd have to check with them. If you have an Alarmax distributor near you , they carry the line.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the input on the InVid camera stuff.  I use Alarmax and will
investigate on my next camera job.  Totally agree on the WiFi camera
thoughts.  I did one some years ago, NEVER AGAIN!!!

Later,

Les
