Additional Questions:

Can I use Window-Door and PIR old sensors? Yes, they can pair to the Gen 2 Alarm System
Can I use RFID contact remote control with the new version? The Gen 2 in not RFID capable as they focused on entry using passcode on the display, remote or smart life app.
Can I use former remote controls also? Yes, they can pair to the Gen 2 Alarm System
I have couple of wireless Gen 1 strobe sirens. It will work with new panel? Yes, they can pair to the Gen 2 Alarm System
I have four OSI Wi-Fi cameras. Will all of them will work with Gen 2 ? The Gen 2 is a standalone system that does not integrate with cameras, however the Gen 2 and OSI Wi-Fi cameras both use the same Smart Life app. The camera's will compliment the alarm system.
Do you sell, gas leak detectors, smoke detectors or water leak detectors. These products are not currently offered for sale due to the necessity of obtaining government standard approvals. However, if you manage to acquire a detector with the following specifications: EV1527 RF coding using a 433 MHz frequency, it can be synchronized with our alarm system. It is important to note that OSI cannot be held liable or responsible for any items not sold by our company.
Do you sell glass breaking vibration sensors? We will be coming out with the vibration sensors at the end of May. The estimated price will be $24.95
Is there a remote keypad for the Gen 2 Alarm System? We will be coming out with the vibration sensors at the end of March. The estimated price is $49.99
Are the PIR Sensors Pet Friendly? The Pir Sensors are quite sensitive. It is recommended for pets that the sensors be installed a minimum of 7.5 to 8 feet high, PIR sensors work by detecting changes in infrared radiation within their field of view. By adjusting the sensor's angle, you should be able to focus it more on human-sized movement while minimizing detection of smaller objects, such as your dog or cat. Aim the PIR sensor slightly higher so that it is less likely to detect movement at lower levels.
