COMMENTS ON VIEWING SWIMMING POOL FROM JULY 28, 2015 ARTICLE
**************************
Ken
    In response to Mark from ABE security in Allentown re: camera pool area shots-here is my take.
    The fact that the installer has been told that nude pool use may take place is enough for me NOT to agree to put up cameras that might capture these images.  You can use all the kill switches you want and the owner of the pool can say 'No Worries' but when Heidi from down the street comes over for a swim, has a few drinks and disrobes and you've provided cameras that permanently captures Heidi in the 'raw'.  Then someone has got some explaining to do when Heidi sobers up. 
    Kill switch or not the owner might say that he wasn't home at the time or forgot to engage the switch (since he also had a few too many) and his 16 year old son puts images of nude Heidi out over the internet. At that point everyone will be named in a suit and since you are the professional installer and were informed about this potential BEFORE the install the judge could very well turn to you with the 1st question "What Were You Thinking-Mr. Installer?"   I'm sure your insurance co. may very well ask the same question!

Monitoring smoke detectors with a built-in relay from July 23, 2015
*****************************
Ken
   In response to monitoring smoke detectors with a built-in relay, BE CAREFUL.  Although most of the manufacturers sell smokes with relays or relay modules, to date I have only found one that is listed for use with a monitored system.  The others clearly state they are not listed for this purpose. I have no stock in the company and welcome more to follow, but Entex is the only one I’ve found so far for 110volt units.

    The gentlemen who wrote "...manufacturers that provide interconnected single station smoke alarms also sell a model that has a relay output. Just change out the one closest to the panel with the one that has an aux relay and wire that into the alarm system", must not realize that NEC does not allow a low voltage system (burg /fire panel) to be interconnected with high voltage wiring (110 smokes); that is illegal and is setting his company up for a potential lawsuit if something tragic was to happen .
    Don't cut corners, protect the customer's life and property with a system that meets all codes !!
