I have an old Phast/AMX system that I want to replace. We initially invested about 70K in installation, hardware and software and I now have a system that is no longer supportable. This became apparent when I found out that in order to add a new piece of hardware, I would require an installer to come in and program (AMX system will not load codes without special equipment).
Now, I am looking to replace the system, but want to do it on my own. I do not want to get into bed with another proprietary system. I want to get something that will allow me to control my own destiny if you will. I have a good strong IT background and was able to program new functionality into my older AMX system.
What are my options? Any recommendations? Ideally, I would like to use the existing transport system (CAT5), but will entertain other ideas provided it does not require me to install new cables, transport,etc...
