What system should I use In Florida

My daughter has just purchased an older home in St. Petersburg, Fl.,
and wants me to install an alarm system. I am in North Carolina, and
my visit to her will only be for 2 days at the most. I have been in
commercial bank alarm work for years, and have not had any residential
experience in 15 years. I know little about her home, except that it
is single story, and I believe on a slab. Would a wireless system be
my best bet, considering the time constraints, few tools to work with,
and unknown construction? If so, what brand system should I consider
(purchasing from ADI or System Depot)? Which brand has the
transmitter/switch that can be inserted in the door jamb? Your help
will be most appreciated. Thanks.

 

Blythe:
If you're doing a full blown system in Florida, you're likely to need 2 days
even with wireless. Caddx makes a nice control, and it uses ITI wireless.
ITI makes the transmitters that recess. A friend of mine out here just
installed one, and he liked it. I've been looking at the Caddx/ITI system as
well. The programming doesn't look too bad, but I'd want to have that down
before the actual install.
Good luck!

Question.
How can he be a competitor if you are no longer in the trade?
How can he be a competitor if he is a licensed security dealer in FL and you
are not?

 

How, Mr. Bass can I be a competitor when I do not
deal to DIY'ers.

Please tell me what is false about "You are not licensed
as an alarm contractor in Florida"?

Please tell me what is false about your "deplorable rating with
the BBB".

Please tell me what is false about your "deplorable rating
on this NG.

What is false Mr Bass is that you have been in the business
24 years and consider yourself retired.
