Advanced Home Security and Management System. Redefining industry standards for convenience and peace of mind, PowerMax Plus is the most advanced home security and automation platform available today. PowerMax Plus offers easy yet flexible configuration and clean wireless installation. For ease of installation kit has Pre-Programmed Sensors. The Powermax Plus Security System offers you a wide variety of options and accessories. You choose whether or not you want to use a monitoring system or simply have it call your phone or pager -- or it can do both!
The Visonic PowerMax Plus is one of those systems that can take the guesswork out of setting up security for your home. It's perfect for a smaller home or apartment, or someone that's just starting out with home security. Many of those people don't know what they need or don't want to make a big financial commitment at the beginning. This kit is a fraction of the cost of custom systems. However, it does provide a complete security solution, as well as the option to add on more features and equipment later-again, without having to call in a pro.
Think about the most vulnerable areas of your home. This would be a great place for one of Visonic's MCT-302 magnetic contact transmitters. Two of these are included in the starter kit. Each one can be easily placed at any door or window opening. Don't worry about Fido interfering with the system, either. The included K9-85 MCW will take care of your four-legged friends. This sensor can distinguish between man and man's best friend (or friends); working with the system so that pets won't constantly trigger the alarm. Instead, if a guarded window or other area is opened, the MCT-302 will send a signal back to a two-way wireless keypad. Want to protect additional areas? Transmitters can also be purchased separately, and added to any area around your home.
Although the system comes pre-programmed, the keypad area is also where you would add in other products. Of course, there are plenty of those! One neat idea is to add a few cameras into the mix. This will allow you to take a peek at your property, when you are inside the home. Two PowerLink packages are also available, and can provide those shots to you anywhere there's a web connection. It's not just convenient for when you're out of town, but also to see if there has been a delivery, when the kids get home from school, and any other day-to-day activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the major difference between the Powermax Plus and Powermax Plus Kit2?
The only significant difference between the two Powermax Kits is that the Powermax Plus Kit 2 includes an extra sensor and keyfob.
How loud is 85 DB
85 decibels sounds about as loud as an alarm clock.
What is the range of the keyfob?
The keyfob has a reported range of up to 150 feet.
What does "hardwired zones" mean?
This means that non-wireless accessories including sensors, keypads and sirens can be attached to and used with your Powermax Plus Kit2.
Is there a code I can input to alert the police of an emergency without a potential intruder knowing I've done so?
Yes, this is known as latchkey. The feature is also frequently used to inform parents of a child's arrival to the home.
What is private number dialed?
If you have your system programmed to latchkey mode, the PowerMax Plus Kit2 is able to deliver a message to any number, including private numbers, when the system is disarmed by a "latchkey user."
What is private monitoring GSM?
By attaching an optional GSM module to your Powermax Plus Kit2, your alarm signal can be routed to the Central Monitoring Station through a nationwide GSM network. With a GSM module a phone line connection is not necessary, though they are frequently used as back-ups to the phone line.
What does two way voice mean?
Two-way voice communication allows you to communicate with people present in your household through the Powermax Plus Kit2 by simply dialing into the system using an outside phone. Unlike regular telephone conversations, in which you can interject a few words while the other party speaks, this system allows one way speech at a time.
