I am trying to find the name of the company and a website address.

What I know is they made a lower cost alternative for security contacts that
would work with the GE and Ademco panels. I know one of the companys tried
to sue this compnay for patent infringement but they this company won
because of "rf" is public domain from what I recall.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I have tried searching the 3 main serch
engines but no luck, thought I would try here.

I shy away from lower cost alternatives when it comes to contacts.
Stick with a company that stands behind their product. GRI and Sentrol
are the only ones we use.

I have some of these sensors at my office. I cant remember who makes them
but I know they work with DSC and Ademco. I will check in the morning and
post the manufacture. When I talked to them they claimed they were the oem
for DSC wireless.

When you look at the napco wireless stuff it looks a lot like the Honeywell
recier and transmitters but i never tried crossing them. then again I really
suspect 50% of all alarm equiptment is made by 1 OEM manufactuer .

Just a little alert to everyone.

There's a company that I'm hearing more about recently by the name of
Secure Wireless. They're sales approach seems to be the they have
receivers
and transmitters that will replace the transmitters and receivers of
the major
manufacturers.

That's not entirely true however. In my case, I was going to
try the equipment on a relatively small wireless job. I got the
installation instructions and found that although they're selling
"compatable" transmitters and receivers a lot cheaper than the what is
usually the going rate, they also don't do all the things that the
original manufacturers equipment does. I discovered that although it
was advertised as a replacement for Napco equipment it couldn't tell
you the signal strength of the transmitters. I stopped right there. I
wouldn't use it for that reason alone. They say that they'll have that
option in the future. ......... I don't know what else it doesn't have
but I think I'll just kinda wait for signal strength capability to
appear, before I look at it again. I'd suspect that it may not have
some of the other receiver capabilities either, such as receiver
supervision or interference detection or multiple receiver capability.
Also, range and penetration on the Napco wireless is hard to beat, but
that kind of information, on a new wireless product, only comes with
useage. YMMV.

If you're considering using Secure Wireless products as a replacement
for your present manufacturers wireless components, while using your
present manufacturers panels, I think it would be prudent to compare
it, point for point, feature by feature.

I think the original post was about wireless. The word contact was used but
probably was refering to transmitters.

That's difficult to read one way or the other. I think some
clarification from the OP was in order (perhaps he wasn't familiar
enough with the terminology). The responses since my post appeared to
answer his question though. That's what this Group is all about!! :)

Saw that... You could've hit me with a brick that evening and I
wouldn't have felt it... It was one of "those" days... :)
