I have one of these panels I bench tested 2 years ago..."junk" is putting it mildly... :)

It's a GEM P801 with a funky keypad designed to eliminate false alarms from people screwing up their code. They have something more elaborate coming soon
NOPE... My local distributor sent a pallet load of them back to the factory... After all, trying to sell systems to customers that can't remember a four digit code sounds like more trouble than it's worth... :-))
Hey, the cans just might be small enough to make good scorpion traps.
True but if you think about it thats a HUGE market :)
Wow. I have a feeling selling through distrubution aint gonna work either.
Thanks for the replies.
For years, Ademco, Caddx, ITI, and a few others constantly came out with stupid panel lines...I guess now it's Napco's turn.
Ademco VistaXM-XT...What Junk ITI RF Commander, SX-V...Yuck! Caddx...Ranger Series... :)

Stupid people need security, too. Maybe even more than the rest of us.
The XM was decent, I agree on the ITI stuff but Caddx was always decent
I got duped into helping out a sick friend and it ended up that I installed about 300 or so Ranger 8900 panels in some multifamily. Is there anything worse than multifamily? The joy of working endless days with the lowest bid bottom feeders of every trade out there. If he didn't end up dead from his illness I might have killed him anyway for getting me into that. Now Caddx is a GE headache and GE could end up everybody's headache.
