Dan, If you want hardwired security, I would definitely
suggest the use of a simple digital-input card(s) over
the Vision-Plus (which is primarly a wireless system).
Those by Alpha products (Digital-Input-A) are probably
as good as any and they are cheap.
Note that under this scenario, ECS IS the security-system
(versus that in which ECS interfaces to a stand-alone
system).
ANY OTHER THOUGHTS OUT THERE ?
