This
is our most popular system, because it's such a great value and offers
solid protection. It's an ideal basic system, because you can always add
more features, like fire, carbon monoxide and flood protection, as you
decide you need or want them. This system provides six zones of
protection. Your Essential Package security system includes:
Master Control Panel
This is the brains of your system, it contains the main computer, and the electronics that communicate with the Monitoring Station.
Touch-pad
The push button Touch-pad is easy to use and clearly indicates the status of your system. A 4-digit code is all it takes to activate and program your system. Usually placed near the main entrance.
Up to 3 Door Contacts
These should go on entry points. When an intruder kicks in your door the Siren goes off and the system tells us what area they broke into.
Interior Motion Detector
In the event an intruder does break in undetected, this is your second line of defense. It's best installed in a hallway leading to the master bedroom.
_ Our Essential Wireless Package
This system offers the same protection as our hardwired system. However, with the wireless system all of you door contacts, and your motion detector are wireless. It comes with either a RF Keypad or a RF Receiver to manage the signals from your different wireless devices. A wireless system is required in homes without attic or basement areas available to run wires.

Hy-bird or combination systems
Some homes require a combination of both wired and wireless. With Honeywell equipment mixing and matching is easy. You may have a home where most of the doors can be wired, but because of a room addition some components have to be wireless. With Honeywell that's never a problem.
Wired Verses Wireless Wired If a home can be wired or pre-wired during construction it is the ideally the best way to go. Wired equipment is less expensive and there are no batteries to change. A wired system requires more installation time, but in many cases the door or window contacts aren't even visible.
Wireless Wireless can do everything a wired system can. With today's technology a wireless system is every bit as good as a wired system. However, the cost of wireless is higher. All of the security devices work just like their wired counterparts. However, they must also include a radio transmitter to send signals and they also need programming technology to be able to send trouble, tamper and low battery signals. This addition to the equipment means add cost to the Equipment. Some wireless equipment is double the cost of wired. Most of the equipment is just 20% to 30% higher. Wired systems also require changing the batteries. Most batteries last 4 to 6 years and are easy to change and inexpensive.Also, there is the added cost of the RF Receiver or RF Keypad required to receive and process the signals. See the pricing difference below.
