| I have... ooops... had ADT..
I have the ITI safewatch caretaker alarm... 100% wireless except for the internal speaker... yes even wireless keypads...
I just got rid of the alarm (in a box right now) and installed a Concord 4 unit.
What I did was called adt and said I wanted a new alarm for free.. being out of contract they were going to install a new unit. They told me that the Concord 4 would be my best bet. Instead of using them I hung up and bought a unit from ebay.. new in box.... dirt cheap...
I just got it all hooked up with ALL my adt sensors... most of them are just GE sensors..
I have
12 door window sensors
2 glassbreaks
2 smokes
2 basement window bars
1 keyfob
1 water detector
and I had to buy NOTHING more than the concord 4 alarm panel kit which came as a kit with a keypad.
An alpha numeric keypad is required to program the unit. They do not make a wireless keypad like my old unit.
I am still working out only 1 bug... phone not dialing out.. not sure why....
anyway....
hope that helps....
