I am from the old school I dont like wireless, and am an old moose man my self. I changed to caddx NX8 I have used wireless for hard to get to areas but like hard copper.

keywords: building new house why would you do a wireless when the house is wide open?!

Elk M1-Gold.

Why not? m

Oh, YUCK! js

Same here. The Moose panels were bulletproof, and the NX8's are ok. I like DSC though, they do everything I need and work as well or beter than anything else out there. js

Cuz it's not necessary? js

Nice one Alarm man,

I like it.

Unless someone has something really bad to say about the quality of the

DSC systems I'll probably go with them. Especially since I've already installed two of them. Hope I remember how to program them. I was thinking maybe there was a system out there to match the commercial look and feel of the Moose. The DSCs seem so toylike to me.

I'm amazed at how many people I know with systems that have been professionally installed by some of the big name companies that have all sorts of problems with false alarms. Over more than 10 years I've had only one false alarm that I couldn't account for. A motion went off for no known reason. And I have full perimeter,motion, fire protection whereas most of the pro systems are only front/back door and

I trust the hardwired systems more than the wireless. With all the "noise" out there in radio land it seems the wireless would have to have more falses. But I could be wrong.

Modern equivalent (when comparing Quality) to Moose Z1100 = Napco P3200 w/K1CA keypad... But, it's not easy to program and not quite as flexible as some of the other products available...

Not quite, the Moose panel compares more to this

And I thought he was serious about security, oh well

Hi Mark, I have never had a problem with them,

Regards.

because: wireless is more expensive

wireless has battery overhead $ over the years

wireless upgrade path could be very expensive down the road you may have to replace the entire system instead of just a keypad if the product line is discontinued

What no Loxxon Loxxoff?

Loxxon doesn't do home automation. It's too small for a boat anchor and just a little too big for a door stop. I understand "AlarmFarce" was interested but they're having a problem adapting it to "AlarmVoice". I'm kinda glad that part fell through because I just couldn't imagine "Professor X" and Joel Matlin together in a radio commercial.
