QUOTE #1: You can believe what you wish that was the intended purpose of l ocking the phone and account numbers, same reason other companies like P1, ADT etc did 1) Well, lets see, I started out in this industry as an ADT installati on manager, and I can tell you that ADT has their own specific installer co de, but they did not have it 'Chip-Proofed' as Mona has in the past and sti ll presently does. Neither did ADT ever lock their systems in the DSC insta lls by enabling the installer lock option. In the old Ademco version, yes, the installer code if you defaulted the panel was restored to their specifi c installer code, but anyone could get back into the system by powering dow n and holding * & # together to get into programming. Then, anyone could th en program their own installer code. There was never any portion of the pro gramming that was totally off limits as Mona still presently does and has d one thru the use of a special chip because of the torrid relationship with her Honey. Additionally, the telephone numbers have always been accessible. 2) Protection-1 basically used the Ademco panels also, and there was n o special 'chip-locked-out-certain-locations' hanky-panky going on.
Seems obvious to anyone who has actually tried to takeover a Mona syst em, and there are many out there, that Mona just could not trust her unsusp ecting lovers and actually shackled them with a chip-chastity belt...they w ere either going to be for her alone or, no one was going to have them!
QUOTE #2: The installer code was defaulted allowing anyone to monitor the things so have fun walking around in those big boots AND Those systems can be taken over just like any other system
In the Mona chips, what is the point of the installer code being acces sible if the new company taking over the system cannot change the telco num bers? Remember, we are talking about systems that are still going to be usi ng a telco line, whether it is a POTS line or the simulated type Comcast/AT T generated telco lines.
QUOTE: Depends on the panel, with Honeywell no I doubt few companies did a t least I never heard of them doing it, GE/ITI/Interlogix yes very possible and it did happen
So, here you say/admit that no companies that you know of, were able t o takeover a Mona/Honey system...at least you never heard of them doing it. S---o, is this not exactly what I was talking about or did you not underst and or grasp what I have been trying to say?
It's not complicated. 'Mona' is very jealous, and imposes a "Chastity- Chip" on all of her customers, and partners with her 'Honey' who basically racks in double-profits thru the scheme.
...and any other company that behaves in this same specific way with a ny other manufacturer is equally guilty of jilting millions of consumers and thousands of installation companies.
...I see a large class-action suit potential here. Some discerning lar ge legal firm is going to be making a lot of money someday... just saying !
... and Mr. Mark Eugene Leuck of Monitronics International Inc., it's no wo nder that you are trying to defend 'Mona', you've got cookie crumbs all ove r your shirt!
Have a Happy 57th birthday, I believe, in about a couple of months! Ar e you still in Texas?
By the way, the original post read something like this,
"Just curious of what other 'INSTALLERS' think"
...I never asked what 'Mona' collaborators thought of it. I already knew that.
To all installers that have had to deal with this 'Mona' company, would you like to know how to get into any 'Mona' system???
Awaiting your replies.
