Whats wrong with Yale?

[fatman]

Hi all,

 

New to the Forums, so apologies if in wring section; mods please move if needed.

 

There's lots of posts slating Yale products, but I can't understand why? Is it because they are ungraded? Or is there another reason I should know (I have one myself!).

 

Sorry if this is a basic question. I searched, but could find nothing saying why they were bad, just that they are!

 

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for replying and providing the link.

 

I did have a read; it was mainly referring to the old Yale systems being problematic due to low frequency.

 

I have the 'Easy fit' telecommunicating alarm which uses the same frequency as the Pyronix Enforcer, so I feel a little better now

Thanks again for the info.

still one way wireless tat made in china

the freq isn't really the issue with it.

Frequency is only the transmission, security not related there.

Oh :/

Sorry I must have misunderstood! As I'm sure you can tell, I am not very knowledgeable about Alarms - in fact, I didn't know there was so much to Alarms until I recently found this Forum! But I am finding it all very interesting!

So, sorry to be such a noob but if the frequency isn't the issue with security; please can you explain what is?

Well for starters I believe it is one way wireless. This means the device (your sensor) transmits a message with the hope it gets there (the panel), it may or may not.

I also believed the encryption of the signals was either flawed or none existent on these DIY kits?

One way is only suited for very very low risk, many installers refuse to install it at all.

Thanks for this really helpful post. I appreciate the explanation too.

This makes much more sense now so thanks again.

I'm moving house soon, and there is already a wired system in, so I I can get that services and it is working ok, I think I will use that instead!

Sorry for another basic question, but would a two way alarm communication between panel and accessories confirming system armed?

Can't give 'kudos' on my Mobile for some reason, but will do when on a PC!
