GEOARM Security now has over 500 DIY How to Videos



We all know as business and home security technology equipment gets more and more advanced, it will become easier and easier for the end user's to do their own installations/maintenance on new security system's or existing alarm system's for alarm monitoring. That will mean there will be less of a need for the security companies out there to have to physically send a technician to your home for any reason. This will in turn mean less overall costs associated with having a security system and more privacy by not having to allow stranger's into your business or home.

One of the biggest reasons for this advancement is the evolution of YouTube and the growth of the howto and style genre videos section. GEOARM Security is one of the pioneers of these type of videos and we are proud to announce that the GEOARM Security YouTube page has hit 500+ DIY security videos. These videos assist all of the DIY security end users whether they are a client of ours or not. We wanted to let the world know we are dedicated to providing you with highest quality and most informative DIY security videos for older and brand new wireless, wired, and hybrid security systems.

A new feature of the Honeywell LYNX L5200 and L7000 system




It has been a few weeks since we have said our goodbyes to the Honeywell LYNX L5100 system so we feel this is a good time to inform our readers about an awesome new feature that the 5200 and 7000 system’s bring to the table that the previous LYNX system’s couldn’t.
NIGHT-STAY Mode: Arms Perimeter Only, Plus Selected Zones
• Use NIGHT-STAY mode to provide increased security while staying inside.
• Arms same as STAY mode, but also arms pre selected interior sensors (programmed
by your installer), while other interior sensors are left disarmed.
• Persons entering later can enter through an entry/exit door but they must disarm
the system and must not violate any of the programmed interior zones to avoid
sounding an alarm.
• IMPORTANT: When NIGHT-STAY mode is on, the selected interior zones are
armed and cause an alarm if anyone enters those areas (e.g., waking in the middle
of the night). To avoid sounding an alarm, you must disarm the system before any
activity takes place in those interior zones.

Modern cellular alarm monitoring


It’s the 21st century and everything has evolved including wireless security systems and alarm monitoringservices. In the past older, outdated wireless security systems that used cellular communicators had some bad tendencies. They were infamous for picking up interference from other local security systems or electrical devices. This means the alarm systems could be triggered accidentally causing confusion and inconveniences for everyone. With the evolution of technology wireless security system and monitoring there are now no longer and interference issues with these types of alarm systems.
                This is excellent news for all the diyers out there! This makes everything so much easier when installing your wireless alarm system. You no longer have to worry about having a dedicated land line hooked directly into your alarm system. Not only is this more convenient for the install but, this also means that you no longer need to have a dedicated phone line just for you alarm system so you can save some money.
                Cellularalarm monitoring is becoming more and more popular these days not only for the reasons I listed above but, there are also a few more benefits of using cellular alarm monitoring services. Cellular alarm combined with a system from Geoarm Security you can add interactive services and have home automation. Interactive services are where you can arm and disarm your alarm system from you iPhone or ipad as long as your system is capable of supporting these features. Homeautomation is another feature which can be used in conjunction with your cellular monitored wireless security system. This feature is basically where you can open and close doors with the proper equipment; you can raise or lower the temp of your thermostat, and even open and close garage doors.

Honeywell's LYNX L5200 system




The Honeywell L5200 is one of the latest wireless alarmsystems to hit the market. The 5200 system is a lovely addition to Honeywell’s LYNX series wireless panels. This system has added many key features that will change the consumers notions about what a quality alarm system will offer from now on. Not only with the sleeker new look but, also the way the system connects with the consumer.

The 5200 system offers some of the same features as the 5100 system. Both of these systems offer a 4.7 inch touchscreen display with the same resolution and amount of colors that are offered. The 5100 system also, offer’s the same amount of zone capabilities 64 total zones, 48 of them programmable while 16 of them are designated for key fob zones. These two systems also have similarities in the ability to use z wave devices in conjunction with home automation services offered by alarmnet.

The L5200 wireless alarm system offers abilities and features that previous systems did not. Most importantly the l5200 system sets itself apart with its flash upgradable abilities. Geoarm thinks this is a magnificent addition to the LYNX series panels. This will allow the consumers the availability to have all of the new updates that Honeywell releases without needing a cable, or a technician to download the update which can take 3-12 hours to complete and would not allow the user to use interactive services. Most would say that this feature would be hard to match with its convenience factor but, Honeywell has surprised us again with the 5200’s ability to view a camera from the 4.7 inch display!

Geoarm security has paved the way for other DIY “do-it-together” companies out there and not only do we believe in the DIY concept but, we truly have merged into what we call a DIT “Do-It-TOGETHER” company because we truly are here for our clients and we don’t want you to do it alone we want to help you every step of the way! With that being said Geoarm has created numerous kits for the L5200 wireless security system, and we have made it so easy for you to locate the communication path that will suit you and your family best. Once you have decided on which communication path works best our kits make it very simple for you to add additional compatable items to your kit. From everyone here at Geoarm Security we wish you a happy and safe Labor Day weekend!

Honeywell's L7000


             Honeywell has finally released its highly anticipated LYNX Touch L7000 alarm system! Just to emphasize how amazing this system is, The L7000 took best in show at Electronic Security expo this year. In many people’s eyes including GEOARM this could be one of the most superb systems ever created. This system was released shortly after Honeywell's L5200 system. While the L5200 is still an amazing system, there are some key differences in the abilities of these systems.

An intriguing feature of the L7000 is the display, it has been stretched to a whopping 7 inch’s that can support up to four cameras to be viewed on the actual keypad, while the L5200 can only support one camera on a 4.7 inch display. The L7000 is a perfect system for those with larger homes or business that require more zones. The L7000 comes with the availability to use up to 84 wireless zones while the L5200 has 64 wireless zones. Also, accompanying the L7000 system is the availability to store up to 48 user codes and increase from the L5200’s 32 user codes.

Though the L5200 is what will work perfectly for most people, The L7000 is a perfect system for those DIYers out there looking to maximize their alarm system experience, or for those who need the extra features the L7000 offers. Here at GEOARM we have all tools and resources for which ever system you decide to install.
