Keypads

Hi there,



I have a garage door and a garden door which I want to open and close with the same keypad installed outsidemy garden near the entrance to the garage. I also want to be able to open and close either of them with a remote, and I also want them wired into my video monitoring system inside the home.



The garage door and the garden door will be operated by a motor.



I have some basic questions:



  1. Will any keypad work with any video security monitoring/intercom system ? Do they abide by some standard ?
  2. Same with the motors for my garage door and garden door: do the keypads and the motors speak a common language ?
  3. What does "two relay outputs" mean ?
  4. What does "two solid state outputs" mean ?
  5. Can I fit this myself or do I have to have a technician ?
  6. I had a bit of a look around: AKR-1 from Linear sort of seemed to fit the bill. Any thoughts from anyone ? Is there something better ? What is the Rolls-Royce solution ?

I need somethin which is vandal and weather proof as it will be installed outside.



Many thanks in advance for any thoughts, recommendations, Neo

Where did you buy all these goodies and who installed them? Was there a manual? You must be confused... some alarm dealers work for free but most are catching on, good luck! Call the installer or the seller. D'uh.

Neo, You are The One. When you realize this, you won't need any relay outputs, motors, or remote controls to open or close the doors, and you won't need a video system to see them. In fact, you won't even need the doors.

Yes. Very good. Thanks. During my training period as I master various martial arts, telepathy and how to fly though, I am still in need of such gadgetry.

Perhaps you could just "download" an alarm installer program. Instead of "two hours on the phone", it'll only take 1.05 seconds (it's a small program).

Thanks. Sounds like a good idea. Could you point me to one ?

Sorry. I forgot... That's gotta be one of the worst parts in the movie. I really wanted you and her to be together forever.

You could try "Dozer", or "Morpheus".
