This Is Where You Start Building
The DSC 1832 Wireless Ready Security Kit is a powerful home security starter kit with room for a great expansion. Everything you need to launch your home security is contained in this affordable and reliable monitoring system.
Everything You Need
First, you'll need a control panel to run the system. That control panel needs power and phone line connection. Then comes the keypad. The keypad arms and disarms your accessories and is your emergency connection to an alarm monitoring company. All of these items are included in this convenient kit along with simple do-it-yourself installation.
Then, there's the accessories. This is where you boost your security system's capabilities. What's great about this system is that it eliminates guesswork when selecting accessories. Included is an interior surface mount siren, loud enough to wake you from a deep sleep, and a digital PIR (Passive Infrared) motion detector with pet-immunity to avoid false alarms. With the included accessories you get 8 hardware input zones- great coverage for a beginner alarm kit.
Ready For Expansion
If you want to expand your system (add motion detectors, door and window sensors, etc.), this alarm kit supports up to 32 hardwired or wireless zones and supports up to 8 key pads. It's ready for expansion when you are.
The Past and The Present
To keep past and present POWERSERIES systems flush, this alarm system is backward compatible with all previous generation modules and key pads, except this one has over 100 new features.
Among the new products comprising the updated POWERSERIES product platform are three new control panels. Each control panel shares a universal hardware/software design that ensures an equal and rich feature set and easy future expandability. With near limitless capabilities, the control panels seamlessly integrate with our award-winning Internet and network alarm communicators (T-Link), industry-leading visual alarm verification module (VVM110), SKYROUTE wireless alarm communicator and other specialty modules, wireless devices and structured cabling solutions. If you're already familiar with POWERSERIES, the new platform will be an easy transition for you. Despite the addition of a number of value-added features, traditional programming remains unchanged, as does the installation process.
