I am trying to find the name of the company and a website address.
What I know is they made a lower cost alternative for security contacts that would work with the GE and Ademco panels. I know one of the companys tried to sue this compnay for patent infringement but they this company won because of "rf" is public domain from what I recall.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I have tried searching the 3 main serch engines but no luck, thought I would try here.
street smart?
I shy away from lower cost alternatives when it comes to contacts. Stick with a company that stands behind their product. GRI and Sentrol are the only ones we use.
I have some of these sensors at my office. I cant remember who makes them but I know they work with DSC and Ademco. I will check in the morning and post the manufacture. When I talked to them they claimed they were the oem for DSC wireless.

Frank, read the header. I swear, you're turning into Bass west. js
looks like they have been bought out by Honeywell.
When you look at the napco wireless stuff it looks a lot like the Honeywell recier and transmitters but i never tried crossing them. then again I really suspect 50% of all alarm equiptment is made by 1 OEM manufactuer .
Thats the stuff, Secure Wireless.
Just a little alert to everyone.
There's a company that I'm hearing more about recently by the name of Secure Wireless. They're sales approach seems to be the they have receivers and transmitters that will replace the transmitters and receivers of the major manufacturers.
That's not entirely true however. In my case, I was going to try the equipment on a relatively small wireless job. I got the installation instructions and found that although they're selling "compatable" transmitters and receivers a lot cheaper than the what is usually the going rate, they also don't do all the things that the original manufacturers equipment does. I discovered that although it was advertised as a replacement for Napco equipment it couldn't tell you the signal strength of the transmitters. I stopped right there. I wouldn't use it for that reason alone. They say that they'll have that option in the future. ......... I don't know what else it doesn't have but I think I'll just kinda wait for signal strength capability to appear, before I look at it again. I'd suspect that it may not have some of the other receiver capabilities either, such as receiver supervision or interference detection or multiple receiver capability. Also, range and penetration on the Napco wireless is hard to beat, but that kind of information, on a new wireless product, only comes with useage. YMMV.
If you're considering using Secure Wireless products as a replacement for your present manufacturers wireless components, while using your present manufacturers panels, I think it would be prudent to compare it, point for point, feature by feature.
I read the header.
That's difficult to read one way or the other. I think some clarification from the OP was in order (perhaps he wasn't familiar enough with the terminology). The responses since my post appeared to answer his question though. That's what this Group is all about!! :-)

Oh. So GRI is making wireless contacts now. OK, my mistake. js

Saw that... You could've hit me with a brick that evening and I wouldn't have felt it... It was one of "those" days... :-)
Thanks that was the company I was looking for.
Been that way for several years now
