Control Panel
Standard Revision Approved And Commended
The Security Industry Association (SIA) has released
the latest revision of ANSI/SIA CP-01-2007 (Revision of ANSI/SIA
CP-01-2000) Control Panel Standard -- Features for False Alarm
Reduction. This voluntary standard details recommended design features
for security system control panels and their associated arming and
disarming devices to reduce the incidence of false alarms.
Intended for use by manufacturers that design control panels and alarm
signal receivers, this revised standard can also be referenced by
security system installers, specifiers and users, central stations and
local authorities.
This effort was undertaken to address manufacturers' requests for
interpretation on the 2000 version of the standard. In addition, the
revised standard clarifies the issue of UL listings for control panels
and the impact that CP-01 revisions have on a listing.

Victims Of Wireless Networks Hacking, Study Finds
After monitoring more than 3,000 stores at major
