Sure, wireless security systems are easy to install. But if absolute protection is your main concern, you simply can't beat the reliability of this hardwired 16-zone system. By using hardwired sensors, you're less likely to experience false alarms or catch failure because you forgot to replace the batteries on the wireless sensors. Plus, a hardwired system will cost you much less than a comparable wireless system.
This is a top-quality unit with a list of features so long that we don't have enough space to list them all. It also has one of the nicest-looking control panels we've seen. Although it can be used as a standalone system, it also has a number of features that makes it perfect for home automation use.
For example, a feedback output indicates the armed/disarmed status of the system. Most home automation systems with digital input capability can read this signal. There is also an output that becomes live when the system is in alert mode. This can be used by automation systems to initiate your desired response, like flashing your houselights for quicker response from police or security personnel or automatically starting the VCR connected to surveillance cameras.
Easy Arming and Disarming Options
Once installed, arming is accomplished from the keypad by entering your security code and the "arm" button. The system supports up to 16 unique codes for 16 different users. A two-button quick-arm mode can also be programmed. You then have a programmable delay period during which to exit. If you do not exit the house, the system automatically arms in "at-home" mode. In this mode only perimeter sensors will be armed. Interior motion sensors will remain off so you can wander freely inside the house while being protected from intrusion.
To disarm the system, you enter the security code and the disarm button. You can program one or more entryways as a delayed entrance to give you time to enter and disarm the system. Up to three control panels can be used with the system. The panels use four-conductor 22-gauge cable for connection to the system enclosure and the communication is coded for security.
Works With Central Monitoring Stations
A built-in digital communicator can be programmed to call a central monitoring station, a commercial company that for a monthly charge, can dispatch emergency services to your home, like police, fire departments or medical response. The system handles virtually all of the common monitoring station communication codes (if you don't want your system monitored simply disable the communicator). There are a large number of monitoring stations that you can choose from. When you have your own security system, you can shop around for the best deal and don't have to be locked in to any long-term contracts.
When the system is disarmed, you can program the control panels to chime when certain zones are entered. Panic buttons allow you to trigger the system in one of three distress modes. Wiring the sensors is simply a matter of running two-conductor wire from the system enclosure to the magnetic sensors, and four-conductor wires to active sensors like glassbreak detectors, motion sensors and smoke detectors. The power for active sensors is provided by outputs in the system enclosure.
