Unbelievable bargain dood...what are they charging for labor 200usd per
hour? Look for hidden stuff in contract to make up for not making any money
from the install. Seriously.

Interesting you should mention Radionics during a DMP post.

I heard from a Honeywell Rep during a class on the Alarmnet IGSM (of
course I have no way to verify this) that DMP is a bunch of former
Radionics Engineers who got fed up and left.

If its true and if they engineered DMP like Radionics then I wouldn't
think its too DIY friendly.- Hide quoted text -

Back before DS (Detection Systems) was purchased by Bosch, DS bought
Radionics.
Some of the Engineers didn't like the change and went to work for
DMP.
Just after that (cira 1998) DMP came out with all kinds of module
that used addressable Radionics Poppit modules, and kits to retro a
DMP board into a Radionics enclosure....ect
Hmmmmm.....very coincidental, several lawsuits insued.
DMP tried to make their own Poppit version (711) which for lack of a
better term, still suck!
Since then most Radionics/Bosch Dealers really don't like DMP.

DMP is associated somehow with Atlas Alarm based somewhere out of
Missouri.

Anyway they aren't too highly regarded in the alarm industry, they
always have grandeous announcements about the product, like...
it can do anything anyone else can but even than imagination!
it makes toast,
it installs itself,
it can outperform the latest Intel Xenon 8 core processor,
it'll pick your kids up from school too!
The engineering, product and marketing is powered by pure Unobtainuim.


(P.S. I installed that crap for a dealer a few years ago, the company
that bought him is still replacing it out and starting a lucritive
boat anchor division.)

As far as the Bosch/Radionics comments go, to each his own.
I've found the Radionics product very dependable and durable if
correctly installed.
Their primarily market is geared towards commercial and industrial
applications, not residential.
Next time you goto the biggest retailer in the world AKA Walmart check
out the Radionics keypads on the wall.

Most dealer with a conscience will give you the lock code or unlock
the panel for you by request.
You paid for it, you should be able to choose your service provider,
unless they have you locked into a 5yr monitoring contract, even then
you can pay the penalty and use whomever you want to.

Eric...DMP is excellent stuff, we get free factory training whenever we want
it, the product is made in their own factory in Missouri, the new stuff is
flash upgradeable (the older panels are chip upgrades), panels can be
configured for digital, internet and cellular built in. Yes, everything is
backwards compatible, I can replace a 15 year old keypad with a brand new
one and it will work across the board (all their models). You need not fear
if a service company goes belly up, there are lots of us around that can
take care of you and DMP can and will make suggestions should something like
that happen.

I've been a DMP dealer since the early 90's and was a Radionics dealer from
84 to late 90's - but dropped Radx because DMP is so much cooler and easier
to program and use...of course I do service, install, monitor other stuffas
well, but I generally keep to stuff I would have in my own house (DSC not
being one of them - I have two of them left out in the field and will
upgrade them when I get the opportunity).

Atlas came first, when they couldn't find equipment to suit their needs Rick
Britton designed his own stuff for their use, then other people wanted to
use it...became DMP.

DMP had addressable stuff LONG before 98 --- DMP & Radx were similar long
before that due to failed merger I believe.

So? Check Wells Fargo banks they all use DMP and have been
since...sheesh...as long as I can remember.

You info about DMP is short of true.
The 711 module has been around as long as Radx's popits and the 711 and the
other expansion modules work fine and are easier program.

Not really, Radionics panels are far above anything I've seen with
DMP, they are nothing alike
