Re: http://www.instantunlocker.com/

If it costs $25 and five minutes labour to unlock a board versus $50 and 30
minutes to replace a board, I would consider it a worthwhile investment if
you are in the business of taking over a lot of systems that are locked out.

With boards costing as little as $50, how can this possibly give you
your money's worth the first time out...or the tenth time out for that
matter. As Jim says, he has spent significant money for the equipment
necessary to do most any board made. I too have spent thousands of
dollars to do just DSC and Paradox, and probably Ademco if I cared to
spend the time. It is not as easy as plugging in a gizmo and setting
the board's installer code back. If it were that simple, I would buy
the thing myself !! A great many of the boards that I unlock have been
sabotaged by an irate installer, with the panel locked, and the board
in alarm, so this device won't do the job. And the boards that are
actually the most valuable to unlock are the older DSC boards that are
no longer available (1550, 2550, 3000)

Since it is only available to professionals in the trade, it does
nothing for the many end users who buy a home and find they have a
locked board. And since most alarmco's don't want to bother with any
alarm that isn't monitored, that still leaves many people out.

However, to give credit where credit is due (or may be due), it will be
worth watching to see if this gizmo catches on, or is simply a one shot
wonder..

I too very much agree with the poster who is amazed that any one would
take the time to develop a product with such a limited vertical market

It will probably work 99% of the time and considering you don't have to
replace the board, just the first time you use it you are already getting
the money worth. Too bad it only works on DSC Power Series and Ademco
Vista
series currently.

Jim, assuming this rig actually does work, what does it end up costing
the user per alarm board to be unlocked. I can't find any prices. I
notice this comes from area code 905 which is around the Toronto area.
Knowing what you and I know about this subject, this device makes me
wonder if it may even be a scam. I wonder if it works if the panel was
left in alarm state when it was taken out of service; with DSC and
Paradox at least, you cannot enter programming mode via the installer
code unless the board has first been disarmed. So simply knowing the
installer code will do mothing in a lot of cases (meanwhile, you've
just been charged something....)

This is pretty amazing, somebody actually spent the money and have
an
unlock device manufactured for such a narrow vertical market.
