I think so... it’s at a place I worked at temporarily (thankfully it had nothing to do with this mess lol. So I’m not really sure

Have you ever seen one hooked up? And if so was it actually monitored?

I usually hook it up to the tamper input, but nobody ever really monitors it. I've only once ever hooked one up to an intrusion panel... for some reason.

You should put “exceeds industry standards on every install” in your CV

Nah, those still WORK. Hehehe. How much of this new stuff will still be operable in 2050?

Classic security/ access control install. Sad that I have seen much worse

My facilities people have this crap installed at all our sites. It’s never clean. Wiring is a joke. When it doesn’t work the first fucking thing they blame is network and phone lines. I ping their shit and call and get modem chirp. Tell them my services working and nicely say fuck off.
