Being a security systems provider requires a special contractor’s license and a separate set of standards. We are proud to have a thirty year track record as security systems providers. The components we select for security systems have a proven track record of reliability. These fully annunciated, UL listed, systems can include:

• A GE Interlogix master control panel. This panel will be mounted discretely in a closet or appropriate equipment area. All wiring and connections will be concealed, with the exception of the system power supply which plugs into a standard outlet, placed in proximity.
• Complete perimeter coverage by installation of security contacts for window and door openings.
• A digital communications package to provide for 24 hour monitoring of systems functions and signals.
• Biometric devices such as fingerprint or retinal scan, upon request.
• Multiple photoelectric smoke detectors to alert residents and transmit fire signals to central stations. The installed smoke detectors are for the benefit of the homeowners and will affect communication of emergency signals to the Central Station; they are independent of any smoke detectors which may be installed by the electrician to meet code requirements.
• An interior backup system comprised of a passive infrared motion detector centrally located in the home.
• An interior or exterior sounding device (bell/siren) to provide for local alarm conditions.
• A self-charging backup power supply to continue all system functions in the event of a power failure.
• A dedicated run from the “protector” provided by the telephone company to the digital communicator at the security panel.

All circuits are home-run to a central location. All wiring will be the finest stranded copper wire. All connections, wiring and contacts will be concealed, unless otherwise noted or discussed in advance. All work  will be completed in three stages: pre-construction wiring, trim (placement of all security contacts and system components), final system programming and customer walk-through. Keystations are typically placed in the home in three locations: Main Entry, Garage Entry and Master Bedroom. If an integrated Home Control system is included in our scope, we can emulate the alarm panel keypad onto designated wallmount and tabletop touchpanels for additional arm/disarm access.

Our scope does not include trenching, conduit or electrical connections of any type. Our installations require electrical outlets in specific locations. We will discuss each situation with you during our walk-through.

EMT conduit, weatherheads and ground wires, which may be required for service connections, are customarily provided by the electrical contractor. The electrical contractor usually provides telephone company and cable service boxes. However, Maxsystems will be happy to supply those parts, if requested, at appropriate cost.
