Gambo Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Does anyone on this forum have an opinion one way or the other for open or closed protocol systems? I know I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 depends both have benefits. One problem with open protocol is that some clients get anyone to work on a system, dont matter if its right etc as long as its cheap. Closed removes that. We use open as a rule but some high risk sites are closed. James securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

BigE Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 personally i prefer closed protocol - notifier, ziton etc i find that open protocol can often be commisioned by people who are not engineers, therefore much of the process is guessed at, leaving a raft of problems. also, when using open you can be shafted by both panel manufacture and the protocol manufacture both blaming the other for problems. With a closed protocol, they will help to correct the problem as they have no-one else to blame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kensplace Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Do closed protocols (and panel source code) get fully released to and 'inspected' by any official bodies in order to pass grading requirements etc, or is it just up to the manufacturer to self certify?
