The auto contact

Big deal i have been using wireless contacts to protect outside stuff for years

"When Every Second Counts!"

???

Really? Then why are you finally setting the alarm off once the car has already been broken into, started, and is now rolling out of the driveway? There's quite a few seconds in there, somewhere around 90 I believe.

Either way, does anyone know what this thing is actually doing? Pressure switch, photocell blocked by a tire, etc.??? And it appears to be wireless, which would be an issue since it "integrates economically with any standard home or building security system by functioning as a standard zone."

It would be nice if the website included some details about the product. With what's there it's impossible to tell if this thing is something useful or junk. The site says it's at ADI but it doesn't appear to be in the Adonis database.

I just saw a flyer in a motorcycle shop yesterday my friend told me adi will be droping the specs this week but the part # is gs-autocont. and you can put any kind of transmiter in it for any panel. .

I just found a link on youtube

I don't know how it shows up on other web browsers, but on firefox the site is poorly presented. I would say it looks like it was done by a child, but most kids I know have much better skills than that.

Wow! At $135 dealer cost, it had better be made of heavy guage, stainless steel.

Interesting concept, though I think that it would really have limited practical uses.

If a customer was that worried about someone stealing something on wheels, I would probably suggest something more like the DeWalt mobilelock system. It will warn you that it has been moved and track it also.

Looks fine on my Firefox

An excellent product

Perhaps it is because I keep my text size bigger than normal. Old eyes...

The text extends out of its designated spaces.

That's just poor HTML work. The web is full of badly coded sites. That doesn't mean the product is bad -- or good -- though.

To my mind it is part and parcel of selling. If the person can't be bothered to put a little effort in creating his website, how much effort was put into vetting the products sold on that site?

My kid has friends who've dropped out of school who can create a better looking web page.

It is (IMHO) just like a person on another forum I participate on who tries to present an argument based on his level of education and intellect but his posts are rife with spelling errors and punctuation is practically non-existent.

Takes away from the credibility.

Remember - you only have one chance to make a first impression.

Oh please, While I don't care much for all flash sites I find it fairly simple and informative and if there is a question it seems easy enough to click on the Contact button like I did

I emailed and called him today and was sent more information, it's both hardwire and wireless. My local ADI had none in stock yet, around $150

I understand your thinking on this. However, some folks are good at what they acually do (say for example, installing and selecting alarm equipment) but totally inept at writing HTML code. I always prided myself on offering good products but it took me a long time to learn how to build an online store that's easy to shop and (I think) user friendly.

I don't doubt that. I have nephiews who can code circles around me. However, they don't know squat about alarms and home automation. One converse example is my old nemisis, Mike. He actually knew his stuff about alarms and could put together a decent system. He couldn't "sell" though because he came across as an oaf in person and he had the Web design skills of an ape. His prices were competitive on most stuff though he subscribed to the "@#$*% you" school of customer service. :^)

People who rely on their "education level" as proof of the rightness of their position in online debates usually turn out to be inerudite morons.

That is true.
