Thanks. Because the effectiveness of the system is dictated so much by the installer, I'm really looking for a recommendation if possible. The only other person I know with an RTI system has had bad luck with installers. Even those who, like my last one, are authorized RTI dealers.
Obviously it doesn't have to be someone in Southlake - DFW area is fine.
Sadly, it doesn't take much more than a pulse to become an authorized dealer.
System programming is mostly what makes / breaks the system. The other side is proper hardware usage. If your remotes are running over zibee, RF, or IP then you must have solid signal coverage in the areas they are to be used.
Often times corners get cut trying to save a buck or 2. Not enough signal strength for the remotes to operate properly because additional antennas were not installed. Or programming skills are not up to par for the task at hand. This is where a quality programmer really shines. You also have to be willing to pay for that. I have programmed many systems where the programming bill was more than the product bill.
I chat with guys in Texas from time to time. Not sure where they are located. I'll find out and post back in a couple of days.
