chime with zone announcement

Yes, the Ademco family of panels do that if you use a 6160V voice keypad.

The cheaper Lynx does it as well. It is a self contained system like the Powermax.

How do you get the Lynx to chime for motions though? Or do you just program them as doors?

In this case, sure...after all they're outside anyway.

Are the zone announcements of the Lynx pre-recorded, or does the installer record them?

Ademco uses a prerecorded library that will let you know what words the voice keypad can actually speak. I don't know why they still do this. It is easier to make a speech synthesizer to pronounce anything you type into the description. Maybe Ademco will try this approach in future versions.

What are the differenes of the Lynxr, Lynxr-1, Lynxr-2, and Lynxr-EN. Is there a feature comparison chart?

Best, Christopher

Mostly painstaking revisions and standby battery issues & features. The first 3 are no longer made. The EN has mos of the bugs out of it, and is their current model.
