I have a vendor that is spec'ing an Aegis alarm system for a 8MM home
which will be connected to a Crestron automation system. We are
hearing from other vendors that Aegis is not the same caliber as more
mature alarm systems such as those from GE and that they are not worthy
of consideration for such an expensive home, and that they will not
integrate as well as the GE alarms with the Crestron equipment. Does
anyone have any opinions concerning this equipment or Aegis.

Thanks,

Roveer
 
If the Aegis they have in mind is what I think it is, don't worry.
That's a different version of the HAI Omni series controllers which are
good automation and decent security systems. IMO the ELK Products M1G
is a better choice because it can take analog (variable voltage) as
well as digital inputs. Elk's ELK-M1XSP serial port expander is
compatible with Crestron.

For basic security the Aegis is OK. Here's a link to information on
Aegis' security capabilities.
