A comment on security systems installation! Due to recent changes in
communications technology and corresponding changes in the FCC frquency
allocations, you will find just about all of this stuff available in a
wireless form. So the wire-pulling will be a thing of the past. It will just
be a matter of selecting the proper components, installing them (with
provision for AC or battery power), and checking out the system.
