DSC PowerSeries NEO

About

The DSC PowerSeries NEO is the newest in DSC's lineup of high-performance security products. The DSC NEO is hybrid-ready and has a very comprehensive lineup of new PowerG wireless devices. One note on the DSC PowerSeries NEO is that the keypads, peripherals, and wireless devices cannot be used with the DSC Power Series 1616, 1832, or 1864. There are four panels in the NEO line, and they range in zone capacity from 16-128, 47-94 user codes, and event log storage from 500-1000 events. This means that these systems are not only good for a small home but also can be used in a commercial setting as well.

At first glance the programming sections look the same as well. And, for a large part, they are. Thanks to the upgraded hardware, DSC was able to combine many sections into a single section to make the programming more intuitive. That combined with a better interface displayed on the LCD keypads makes for a much nicer programming experience. But, while it has a very similar look for many of its components, the PowerSeries NEO does not work with any of the old PowerSeries components. The PowerSeries NEO has a full line of keypads to meet just about any situation and need. The keypads come in 4 base models: LED, ICON, LCD, and touchscreen. The LED keypad is a very simple keypad that just has backlights behind a template as the only interface. They are the least expensive, but are also the least useable. The ICON keypads have a fixed LCD readout. They are capable of showing more information, like the d
