I've used the GE Security RCR-PET dual-tech motions for years and find them to be one of the most reliable, false alarm free motions available. I have used them in both commercial and residential installations, including my own home.

That is nasty work! I go along with Sandpiper, I would never use that switch, and I would never drill the sill. Vinyl windows take a careful tech who takes pride in their work. This kind of work is embarrassing to the industry. I doubt that it is going to be easy to get the security company...

The CNB Monalisa cameras are a very good camera but unfortunately they don't have separate settings for day and night time. It would be a nice feature but I am unaware of any analog cameras that have that.

Have you used other brands of DVRs that say they need IE (activeX) successfully using Safari or just the Vitek?

For door/window contacts I like the GE (Sentrol) or GRI contacts. For motion detectors I like GE (particulary the RCR series) and Takex. For glass break I like the GE Shatterpro III series. I have used these brands in my installations for years and have found them to be reliable, with a very...

If you want a dome, you might want to check this one, If you want a bullet check this one

Are you looking for an IP camera or an analog camera? Dome, bullet?

Sites up, my votes in.

As Lou Apo said, if you have a door contact the alarm will go off when the door is opened, but if you want the alarm to go off quicker there are wireless glass break detectors from GE that will work with the ELK.

If cost is a big concern wireless IP is probably not the way to go. Wireless IP cameras can be expensive, with limited choices, especially for an outdoor configuration. Plus you still have to get power to them anyway. I would agree with BraveSirRobbin, a good quality, web enabled, stand...

The Techvision EL-M and the Digimerge DH200 are both very nice, easy to use stand alone DVRs. Both have remote access via browser and smartphone.

Yes, you are correct, Honeywell cans have a different mounting system than others. If you know what kind on modules you will be using you may want to tell the wiring sub to use that brand can. Most of the others I have seen, (ELK, Leviton, etc.) seem to all use the same system of holes and are...

Is your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ, usually the fire marshall or inspector) requiring that your system follow the strict UL rules for fire installation and monitoring? If so, I would recommend that you choose a reputable installer that has a strong working relationship with a UL...

I have installed the RCR-PET in a few houses with cats and not had a problem, but it is very important to install it so that it is not looking at an area that has things a cat can climb on if at all possible. The RCR-PET installation sheet talks about the pet immunity being somewhat dependent...

I don't really have any specific experience with the RCR-REX as I don't do much in Access Systems. I do know that Request To Exit detectors don't work well as general motion detectors as they are designed to cover just a small area around the door so that the door is only released when someone...

I have used the RCR-PET (and other RCR models) numerous times over the years in both residential and commercial installations and like them a lot. I use them in my own home. They are very reliable, I have never had one fail nor have I ever had a false alarm from one. It is important to...

Elk has a couple of prox readers, would they work for your garage door project? http://www.elkproducts.com/products/m1/M1_...ity_Readers.htm I noticed AutomatedOutlet.com carries them.
