Suggestion for non X10-wireless security

[gil]

Hi all, I own a small PC business that
caters to homes and small business.  I have
a high end custom home builder that wants a
wireless security system implemented in his
houses.  He's one of these "gotta have the
lastest tech" guys.  After reading some of
the posts in here, I'm leary of buying from
X10.  Can you suggest any good non x10
wireless security systems? Thanks for all
your help.....Gil

Yep go to Smarthome.com and look up
security, then wireless then Securlinc,
think this is the best I've seen and it's
got home automation built in plus you can
call it up and check the status of your
system from anywere in the world! and
control lights ect
enjoy!!!

cap. and rel. since on batteries and more
fluxing of relability?

Say Michael could you update that link seems
like it's not working. I will post
additional information on that Securlinc
system some FAQ, this is the way I should
have gone didn't see it until I ordered a
new hardwired system spent to much money now
will have to proceed with the hardwired one
for now.

periferals (SP) have to do a spell check.
motion detectors, lights exterior, cameras,
sirens. etc. x10 has  a new sw supposedly
to integrate everything but wasnot sure how
to integrate everything and do remote
access from work ,etc.where did u get the
best price?? thanks.

I dont think its wireless, I just thought
it was really cool. I dont know if x10
stuff works with it or not.

[teresa h]

I think u r right about non wireless. so
which wireless systems and model did u
decide to get for home use??seems ike honey
well has there own brand of md and hw to
hang on to the sytem.

[michael]

I have the monitor plus security system. It
has 4 zones, sliding door, front door,
laundry room door, and motion detector
which looks over the living room and dining
room. Its not monitored and the battery
feature no longer works.

[teresa h]

thanks. which wireless system would you get
now that is compatible with x10 that you
think is the more versatile, good qa/qc,
relable , etc. non x10 one or go with x10??
thanks

[michael]

I would go with x10 again. Now that
protector plus has dropped in price I would
get that and have it call my neighbors.

I am looking at the Securelinc system. It
appears that it can control devices like
lights and appliances and even utilize a X-
10 remote alarm. It appears from looking at
the manual that it may not work with X10
motion detectors. I believe all of its
sensors for motion, door switches ect are
not X-10 variety but I am not sure. Anyone
have first hand knowledge if the X10
sensors will actually work on the alarm
system?

Hi Gary yep you can't use any x10 security
stuff and that's a GOOD THING! I bought
those 8 motion detectors for something like
60 dollars that x10 ahd on sale a while back
and I've tested 4 and all 4 have given false
alarms. Got them setting in the guest room
with a spare console with the door closed
and all 4 have given false alarms within the
past 2 months! It's my understanding that
the Securelinc is very reliable with no or
very very few false alarms, if I had it to
do all over again I would have gladly spent
the money for the Securelinc, plus you can
call the unit from anyplace in the world and
check the status of your home, turn lights
on and off ect, still planning to post the
link to those FAQ, Happy Holidays to
everyone!!!!
