Red Care V Dualcom

[topalarms]

Angus is obviously not impressed, but for me - I did not know that BT had stopped part of their Redcare service. I'm trying to figure out what they are up to by phasing out the domestic but not commercial network ?

Redcare Home is a specific part of the Redcare service, it is not phasing out domestic connections.

the fact topalarms has misread the fact some subscribers are still listed as having a service that doesnt exist ? and thinks they dont know about it - nope doesnt impress me one bit

...and don't forget Webwayone, Chiron, Terrier or IP Alarms

Then you need to look at moving ARC's because none of them are likely to offer all solutions. Many will offer only one.

*Whistles* Not all are so limited

As for the services stopping obviously the industry is aware of the latest product which has been stopped although I can't foresee major issues for most of the main providers with this one.

I suspect when they start whittling down the exchanges due to 'lack of demand' it will have more of an immediate impact.... and of course 21cn itself....ahhhh good times ahead.

By the way, how is the UK going for you so far Steve? Any significant inroads yet?

thrown in the towel with the conventional ARC's - can't be doing with the red tape.

Decided to rattle a few cages instead. Thinking of taking the JB///.Large National Installer.// approach of giving away my IP/GSM/GPRS adapters at cost in order to build up RMR. I have bought new PSTN and GSM receivers, my IP receivers are fired up and I have offices and monitoring operators ready to go.

Just waiting for the right local partner, or the right moment to go it alone

Translation: If you don't buy RedCARE, we will change the network until you do

I like it. Very clever - and sadly very true.

Good to hear

As for the approach I can understand where you are coming from, unless you get the golden grail of ticking all the boxes for the installer / user / arc, then price will be the key element.

Sad days really tbh, but i'm glad that you are getting some momentum though.

Redcare's rep sucked at a recent presentation I attended. CSL (dualcom) basically admitted they dont sell anything even though they think they're better!

Emizon21 is definately the way forward.

Not only do you not need a Redcare line block, or an extra lot of BT line rental, it's ridiculously easy to install, and doubles as a telecom module/comm2400 for Galaxy and Texecom control panels (more manufacturers on way).

The time taken to copy a log or upload a program is apparently 5 times less than normal dial up, and you can do more than one site at once.

Wonderful piece of kit ! (as long as the customer has broadband !)

[Thunderass]

In an engineers meeting recently, a rep from - some communication firm ( must appologise - was early and had slight banging nugget due to late night for the wrong reasons), described Redcare as 'On the decline'.

Is Emizon using the unit built by Bosch or the Pyronix equivalent?

And can someone remind me in laymens terms 21CN. Is this the part about communications going IP?

Thanks.
