Re: Security Systems
Aspeck, I like that one. Coop, I cannot comment on Frontpoint as I have never come across that company. I do not think they are in my area. Bruce, DSC is a Canadian company that have been around since the late 70s. I know a few of the guys that started the company as they came from other companies I dealt with at the time. They are now worldwide. I have used DSC products since their formation. I have always considered them the Chevy of the alarm industry, never great but is reliable and gets the job done. I have never had much faith in their motion sensors but they do sell a lot, mostly because of price. Stay far away....no run far away from their wireless products. They continuously have problems, get revamped, only to fail again. I have used a lot of Napco product which is out of New York. Solid product but a bit more expensive. Great panels, wireless , motions etc. They have been around since before I got into the business. Currently I am using Interlogics. Formerly it was G.E. until Warren Buffet decided that G.E. needed less diversification. Solid products from a conglomeration of companies such as ITI, Sentrol, Caddx, Moose and other top name companies that G.E. bought up to get a solid hold on the industry. Using this line with Alarm.com (check them out on the web) gives all the options like remote view cameras, remote temperature control, door lock control, light control, etc. from your smart phone. Neat stuff and great support.
Remember guys, if your going to deal with an alarm company, you are not buying a system, your buying a service. If they are not there to give you the service when you need it, no matter how good the product, it's not worth a plugged nickel.
