Hollywood and Alarm Systems

You have to get a chuckle out of some of it. I remember seeing one show where there was a high security bank vault and a Napco Magnum 800 keypad "protecting" the vault. Couldn't they at least used something with the Potter name attached?

In this thread I see all these compalints about lack of realism in movies.

Can't imagine what the compalints would be if they actually showed how to defeat the systems.

I think I'd rather stick with the lack of realism.

Bass is enough to deal with here.

I'll have to find that movie, it had to do with Redford wearing a special suit, heating the room and him walking VERY slow

I'll vandalize her but she has to buy her own ticket.

I too am sometimes annoyed or amused by Hollywood and alarms. I saw some good ones in the thread, but my favorite I think has to be Patriot Games where the film shows an ADT truck in the driveway and two techs on ladders throwing wires over the roof.

Nothing unusual about that.

That's funny, I was thinking the same thing....... ha ha ha

The ADT thing was a rouse. ;-) Just helped with movie the budget a bit. Either the installers were spooks or they were moonlighting for Time Warner. Either way ADT wouldn't have had a clue.
