I'm having a house built right now... It's almost time to start wiring everything up.
Well, the builder has an alarm guy pre-wire each house. After that, it's up to the owner whether to obtain service with that company or not. (I plan to install a Caddx alarm myself)
Well, I checked out another house that's a little further along than mine. The guy ran a wire from the panel area to a window in Room A and another wire from the Room A window to a window in Room B. This would mean they'd both be on the same zone, right?
What I want is to know whether Room A's window was opened or Room B's window was opened. Am I right in thinking this would mean running a separate wire to EACH window from the panel ?
Also, I noticed a wire from the panel area to where the doorbell chime will be located. What would be the reason for this?
Thanks,
