Alarm.com, that's handled by the communicator itself, reprogramming the Neo communicator can send it anywhere else allowing Telguard, Uplink or whatev er
that a number of items be programed to obtain full usage of the capabiliti es of each device. Such as opening and closing signals, user information, t he communicator ID number, and so on. I'm sure there must be some items in the DSC panel that need to be programmed to make the most of the features o f the panel with Alarm dot com. Those would have to be de-programmed. And I 'd have to discover what they all were, de-program them, and then find what programmable items were required and if they were available to make the pa nel compatible with the IBridge.
d it appears it's not much more than a dialer capture cell unit on some Nap co panels and DSC which is why you have to program those fields
think one section section concerning call directions, the communicator does that for you since it is a true bus device
t the communicator would be compatible unless it's dialer capture. Usually when companies specify DSC compatibility they mean older panels like the PC
1555, 5010, 1632 etc not the Neoram ANY other DSC panel which might be beneficial in the future but it's yo ur call
consider as being no better than a piece of compressed mud housed in a tin can such as DSC. Cheaply designed and depends highly on end user purchases to remain profitable. Napco has been my choice of equipment for decades. I t has been a reliable and long lasting product. And if it has never (in you r opinion) done anything right in it's long history, the advent and huge su ccess of the Starlink radio Burg and Fire and IBridge Connect has overshado wed most of their competition as of late.
mpares to Alarm.com and AlarmNet or for that matter Telguard although I cou ld be wrong ========================= ==
What is it that you need to see? Buy one and try it out.
========================= =======
, it's laden with dozens of resistors, capacitors, diodes, and 3 voltage re gulators connected to a large thick heat sink 2/3rd the width of the circui t board. It needs that heat sink for all the heat given off those voltage r egulators, and it has 4 OLD STYLE FUSES, all GEM boards are like that, many of those components have to be hand soldered, can't do it with a machine. Having thick circuit boards with lots of components doesn't mean it's bad j ust old outdated tech
10, the Neo can do everything a GEM-P9600 or X255 can do with half the boar d, a fraction of components and far less power requirements, Interlogix Net worX NX and Concord panels are the samehan they need to be and the download software is garbage, they aren't bad p anels but I can find others that do the same thing cheaper and far easier t o program
s I've got DSC panels out in the field for decades, "flimsy" boards don't m atter if they work
=========================
Well, then, I guess it just matters to me.
Stdrong like bull ?. is goout! Yah!
=========================
not be as reliable as you think in the next 5 to 10 years, if you are into
80's and 90's home stereos you will know what I'm talking about========================= ========================= =====
Yeah, I know what you mean about the electrolytics yet I've got 800 panels, 850's 854's 1016's some close to (if not over) 30 years. I've even got one CCI5 panel still working with an Ademco 693 communicator and an outdoor on /off keyswitch. Had to change the key switch a few years ago and had to rea lly search to find a spring loaded Ace key switch. Customer says as long as it's still working he'll continue using it. I think that one's over 40 years old. 4/2 format and all.
========================= ========================= ==
or what? What's with the Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ra (It's and Irish lullaby) name change then a buy-out ? and now what? another name change? Looks l ike it's trying to hide it's identity or something the way Apex/Vivint did to hide it's past indiscretions. (???)
because we use them I say it because in my opinion they have the best commu nicators out there
========================= ========================= ==
Yet you say you haven't tried the Starlink devices. You'd probably want to take a look at the Starlink Connect with Zwave. As with most Napco items th e programming takes some getting used to but it's for those with a little m ore grey matter. I think the capability is pretty far reaching. For my use, anyway.
Re Buyout: Didn't someone buy out someone? Brinks or something? I know the stock dropped over 90% in 2018. I just thought there might be a problem. Wh ile Napco was one of the few stocks that rose (82%).
As I said, the Starlink has really given Napco a great boost.
