Hello all, I am new to home alarm systems. I read the info on bass-home and
it was great. I am planning on installing a system in my home and have some
basic questions.
1) What brand name should I be looking into?
2) What brands are better than others and which ones to stay away from?
I called ADT for an estimate and they guy wanted an arm a leg and a first
born for a mediocre system ( 4 contacts and I motion). The guy went on about
how their equipment is not the same third party or " Authorized dealers"
install. That leads me to my third question:
3) Is ADT equipment better or is it worse with a fancy name.
I am a involved with computers and entertain the idea of some home
automation in the future.
That leads to my fourth question:
4) Which system is capable interfacing with a pc app like HomeSeer ( Serial
Port)?
These are my requirements:
14 windows
4 Doors
2 Motion Sensors
Here are my optional requirements:
Wireless capabilities for a few additonal sensors in places wires are
impractical or impossible.
Home Automation PC (software) integration.
Voice (Front Door yada yada yada)
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
DM
