i really can't see why a service cannot be charged for. Most apps are charged, there needs to be income to pay for the backend etc, i myself don't do much for free
not that its relevant but HKC are testing their G3 panel. Not that they will sell many but maybe its because of the op view. My own system is a hkc 10240
if i didn't need wireless i would probably have installed a Vanderbilt spc
i rate hkc highly maybe i should do a direct comparison for here. Sia uses hkc and hasn't had a callback ever for rf issues. I've also done test sites for it with and without mesh. But agreed it wasn't vs Texecom
OP everything needs paying for. I would be worried about anyone that can supply any service for 'free'
IMHO the best 2 way wireless is HKC but that from my sister comp actually installing it. Visonic and Pyronix are popular due to lower cost. Id search here for views on Pyronix. Honeywell are weak on product offering and availability. Id assume that will change
