In this article, I’d like to try to help you figure out the size and scope of product solutions offered by Honeywell.
Let me say right up front that I’m not Honeywell rep. I do not make any money buying or selling Honeywell products. I’m just like you — I’m a homeowner who wants to figure out what sorts of products Honeywell offers; the names that they’re sold under and what they do. Once I’ve done that, I can make an informed decision about the best solution for me and my family.
By now, you probably know that Honeywell is (among other things) a global supplier and distributor of residential and commercial security systems. In addition, Honeywell monitors millions of private homes commercial businesses and government facilities all over the world.
Honeywell’s residential security systems are installed through a network of local dealers.These dealers are trained to understand your needs and respond in a way that’s appropriate. They’ll discuss your lifestyle with you and build a system that meets your needs.
For example, some families have young children. If that describes your family then perhaps you want a system that alerts you when your kids come home from school. Your Honeywell dealer can design a home security system for you that meets that need WiFi nanny camera.
On the other hand if you’re business owner with an small office or home office, you might have an area that needs extra protection (expensive office equipment, valuable records, etc.). If that describes your situation, then your Honeywell dealer can discuss with you the installation of a system that includes motion detectors or cameras.
Ademco Home Security Systems: The Relationship To Honeywell
When considering the scope of possibilities, be aware that Honeywell offers a wide range of products marketed under many different labels. You probably are already aware of the Ademco line, but there are quite a few other brands in the Honeywell home security system family.
The Honeywell product family can be divided into broad categories of hardware including (but not limited to):
Control Panels: Ademco, Apex, Omni, Lynx
Keypads: Ademco, Apex, Omni
Expansion Modules: Ademco, Apex, Omni
DIY Kits: Ademco, Omni, Lynx
Wireless Accessories: Apex, Street Smart, Life Safety
Alarm Communications: Optiflex
Sensors: Dual Tec, V-Plex
Smoke Detectors: V-Plex
…and much more.
Who, Or What, Is AlarmNet?
One last thing that I found interesting: As you might know, most alarm systems communicate with the monitoring company using telephone lines. But for those of you who were concerned that the phone line might be cut during a burglary, Honeywell has a reliable alternative called AlarmNet.
AlarmNet is a radio network run by Honeywell that has extensive coverage in the United States and Canada. It gives you a second layer of protection — beyond your phone line — in the event of a home intrusion or other kind of emergency. This means peace of mind for you and your family. And isn’t that what a home security system is all about?
Conclusion
Again, in closing: I am not a Honeywell representative, nor do I make any money by recommending their products. It’s just that Honeywell offers a complete line of excellent products. When considering a security solution for your family and/or business, you should consider them when making an informed decision.
