Success! The General Monitor setting worked. With the system armed, it chimed "Activity Detected bla bla" without setting off the alarm. Actually, "chime" is the wrong word, as chime is not an...

Thanks for your ideas.

I tried the "resident monitor" setting early on. Even though chime is not an option, it still announces a detection. Problem is, it is an instant alarm zone, and I don't...

Thank you for your help.

How about the L7000? Anyone know if it can be programmed to chime only on particular zones or be self monitored w/o paying the full monitoring fee just for a connection? ...

Chime on only 1 or two zones?

I know selective zone chiming is available with some systems, but how about the L7000 or a hybridized Vista 20P? I want the keypad to announce only when someone is on our porch or in our patio.

That's good to know. If I use a DOR relay for the hard wired bells in the hybrid panel, they would continue to wake the dead if the panel is ripped off the wall. Our front door would have to be...

Of course kicking in a door is nothing new. But, in talking to the cops that patrol my neighborhood, the preferred means of entry has shifted from windows/back sliders to the front door. He thinks...

How to make entry door kick-ins instant alarm

So the new MO of burglars in my city is to kick in the front door and do their business. Before I possibly reinvent the wheel, I thought I'd ask here. Is there a way to set up an alarm so it would...

Thank you for the responses. We're going to be traveling a lot and I'm having trouble with adding bell loads to the old Acron alarm that released SO MUCH SMOKE. I also like the idea of self...

Thank you. Has this (adding 22K in parallel at the box to get 2K out of an old install) been done successfully before? Surely, I can't be the first person to upgrade a 2.2K system to a 2K one with...

Hello there. This is my first post here.

I have an Acron AV-8000 alarm at home that I installed in 1988 or thereabouts. It has worked flawlessly and not given out one false alarm, nor have any...
