Hello,

I'm new to the group here (amazing what groups on are usenet). I work for
a security company and as such was appointed to do some research.

Right now we use all ademco products. For the higher end systems we've
used the Vista-40 and a 6139 (alpha) keypad. But, we have a new customer
that is looking for the top system. What I am thinking is:

Keypad:
-More text display (not the 3-word 1 1/2 line display like the 6139)

-More responsive (the 6139 always feels laggy)


Control:
-Better zone expansion, i.e. support for more zones in the basic control
without using polling loops.

-GOOD wireless add-on (sorry, but even in my inexperience I felt the
ademco system was junk, the keypad looks like leftovers from the 80s)

-possibly programmable from computer (preferably via serial port, maybe
even to where I could write software to program from linux)
*on this note, is this available for ademco systems?

Please note I am by no means an expert, just know what I've worked with
and what I think needs improvement. Any recommendations, information, and
maybe distributor recommendations, would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jon

Yes I do. I'm far from average though. Wish you were here...
