We used a major brand sensor that cost about $80 each at the time. We had placed them in a school district and some of them created alarms that had no known reason. I covered them, not disconnecting from the panel and the still created alarms. When I contacted this company they shrugged and said they’d had a ‘bad run’ during manufacturing. They would offer no way to identify the good from the bad. We immediately replaced the sensors and did no further business. In Oklahoma we have storms. One major manufacture had control panels that would burn become damaged by lightning or when no other panel would. They actually chuckled when I pointed this out. We stopped using them. My point is the best we can do is immediately stop using poorly operated companies. From Gene’s astute observations about foreign manufacturers; it is ironic how much the alarm industry complains about ‘cheap competition’ and cheap systems when much of the industry has been guilty of promoting the least expensive products over quality for decades. Zeke Comtec ************************* Ken, In response to the Honeywell motion sensor issue, can he provide a little more information? Are these wireless motions? Did he check to see if the customer set the system to away mode of stay mode? Is this residential or commercial? If it was commercial, what model number was used? Has he checked the program to ensure the correct loop was programmed?
