The Relationship To Honeywell

< Prev | 1 | 2 |

By Ara Rubyan

When considering the scope of possibilities, be aware that Honeywell offers a wide range of products marketed under many different labels. You probably are already aware of the Ademco line, but there are quite a few other brands in the Honeywell home security system family.

The Honeywell product family can be divided into broad categories of hardware including (but not limited to):

• Control Panels
• Keypads
• Expansion Modules
• DIY Kits
• Wireless Accessories
• Alarm Communications
• Sensors
• Smoke Detectors
• ...and much more.

The different product lines fall into the following categories of hardware:

	Control Panels	Keypads	Expansion Modules	DIY Kits	Wireless Accessories	Alarm Comm.	Sensors	Smoke Detectors
Ademco	x	x	x	x
Apex	x	x	x		x
Omni	x	x	x	x
Lynx	x			x
Street Smart					x

Who, Or What, Is AlarmNet?

One last thing that I found interesting: As you might know, most alarm systems communicate with the monitoring company using telephone lines. But for those of you who were concerned that the phone line might be cut during a burglary, Honeywell has a reliable alternative called AlarmNet.

AlarmNet is a radio network run by Honeywell that has extensive coverage in the United States and Canada. It gives you a second layer of protection -- beyond your phone line -- in the event of a home intrusion or other kind of emergency. This means peace of mind for you and your family. And isn't that what a home security system is all about?

Conclusion

Again, in closing: I am not a Honeywell representative, nor do I make any money by recommending their products. It's just that Honeywell offers a complete line of excellent products. When considering a security solution for your family and/or business, you should consider them when making an informed decision.
