I've got a client who needs to replace a couple of items attached to their Facility Commander (older GE version) and I need a tech who can consult (for a fee of course). Too large and no money to upgrade everything at this time. Please contact me offline at: John 619-690-4428

I got a client ho still has Facility Commander running on Ge-Rusco-Lenel System with a bunch of GE940 prox readers. They ned to replace about 5 of the 2"x4" readers and about 10 of the smaller 1.5" 2.5" readers. Are these standard readers? Weigan? Can I use HID, AWID? Any special part numbers? Thanx a bunch!

I understand you can use a weigand reader, but doesn't this take a another board for conversion from weigand to their proprietary format?

Looking for some open-source software to test for Access control in a linux platform. I want to use this in single & multi-family environments. Should be able to display, track, control users and have some sort of telephone entry module. Any ideas? John B San Diego, Ca Lantex Voice & Data Systems

The DYI project looks promising! I hope there will soon be something like Asterisk for Access Control (or something close). I guess I just assumed there would be more open-source software to build your own telephone entry system, alarm system, or similar project for the RaspberryPI boards.

The only reason one OS is more secure than another is due to it's popularity among hackers...

Yeah, Vista is a POS when it comes to being on a technician's laptop. Try Dell to see if they still have XP laptops with fast processors and over sized hard drives instead...

SlingBox is a decent consumer product.

Well it just goes to show that crime doesn't pay...

And it probably comes from Graybar, made by Allentell, who gets them from China...

That's a good one!

I live in San Diego and know where that place is. I am surprised they are using such antiquated equipment!

Don't bother with Microsoft... Linux!

Where's the emergency phone?

Don't spend a dime on overpriced training books and tests. Most of them are copied materials (in one way or the other) and have not been updated in years. The only one who'll make money from the books are the commissioned sales reps who sell them...

With the economy going the way it is, security systems are becoming as vital as communications...

There will never be a system (voice, data or video) as secure as one done with cabling...

Yep, we no longer are supporting competition and smarts, rather sensitivity and a new way of learning math!

We have similar logistical issues with installing VOIP phone systems...

ALRIGHTY THEN!

Never believe more than half of the twice-over-promised specs on any given holiday that falls in a leap year!
