Title: X10 SC1200 Smart Security Motion Detector (MS18A)
Post by: tom j on September 16, 2011, 06:57:01 PM

Hi I was considering one of these as a replacement for MS10A for a DS7000 system for my sister my question is is this really more sophisticated the the older MS10 design. How about false alarms in the 1 step mode and is the 2 step mode any better the 2 step mode of the MS10a was always a little finicky to me sometimes requiring multiple steps and precise alignment to work properly wondering is someone could comment on a 18A that actually has one. Thanks!
