New Technology:
DMP XR500 Control Panels
 |
If your system is past ten years old, or you think that your equipment may be obsolete, the DMP XR500 panel is a great upgrade opportunity.
The integrated DMP XR500 can include intrusion, fire, and access control, all in one box. You can now purchase a security and door-access system for much less, because you do not have to buy two separate and specific panels. You can have both systems tie into a single panel, and also include fire equipment if you wish. |
We will sometimes install an XR500 in a home or business even if the initial system is security only. This is because the customer won’t be trapped into investing in a new panel if they need fire or door access capabilities later on. We can simply use the XR500 in the versatile way it was designed, and tie the equipment into the security system.
This panel also includes the option for cellular back-up, as well as wireless internet connectivity for dispatch notification. And, like mode DMP panels the XR500 can be updated from anywhere in the world using DMP Remotelink or DMP Systemlink software. This utilization of new technology applied to panel design and function has made the XR500 the most practical use of technology in the security industry.

Wireless Technology in the Security Industry
| Whenever new technology is released into an industry, it is usually welcomed with skepticism. Wireless technology has recently inundated the security industry. It can save time and money on installation, but does it offer the same level of security as a hard-wired system? Here are some considerations on wireless security equipment. |
 |
- Quality equipment is still important, especially with wireless devices. Do your research, and use only quality brands.
- The rules are changing. You can now disarm a system with a RF key chain. Some ethical and systematic issues are now coming into play. (example: what if your key chain is lost? can you erase it as a disarming device?)
- Does it monitor it’s operational status and battery life? Why have a wireless smoke detector if you don’t have confidence that it will be functional when there’s a fire?
- Are there compatibility issues between the device and other parts of the system.
- What options does the wireless device offer to supply the level of security you require. Wireless or wired, there are going to be vulnerabilities.
