I've seen it's capabilities.  The HAI system is a far less configurable
security controller than Napco's P9600 or ELK's M1Gold.  It's a decent HA
system and a usable security system but as an alarm it can't compare to the
P9600 or the M1.

SIA has a CP-01 standard for false alarm reduction.  The standard is likely
to become a code requirement in many states due to the high incidence of
false alarms from non-compliant systems.  Has HAI implemented the standard?
I was looking this up for someone else and I didn't see the Omni series on
the list.  I've asked ELK the same question and will post the answer when I
receive it.
