Geocache Description:

A nice park hidden away in Culver City park hours are 5:00am~10:30pm The cache is not at the above coordinates but you can use them for parking. Your looking for a camouflage container a little smaller than the original, It was replaced when the original went missing. (BYOP)

I started working in the alarm industry in 1978 when only a handful of people actually had an alarm system, most people thought it would be a passing fad. Now it has become mandatory for fire life safety and security in public, government, and Dept of Defense buildings. Even small jewelry shops are required to install a UL approved burglar alarm system or they can’t get insurance. In the time I have been in this industry the technology has changed like all electronics. Most of you probably have a system in your home or at work and every large store you go in is required by NFPA to have a fire system. Alarms communicate their information to a central station via phone lines, radio, cellular, internet, Derived channel, transponders, ect. Some of these have been around for a long time and others are the way of the future. Some things that haven’t changed are the format they use to communicate known as the protocol. Most alarms can be programmed to use any one of the many formats that are available, many alarm companies use format that have industry standards that can send a lot of information with hexadecimal and numerical bits of information known as the signal. (Your alarm is probably using the most popular format by Ademco) other formats have to be hand programmed with numbers and letters and then a file created at the central station to match it. I like to use the standard formats because it’s all automatic and gives you a lot of information like: “system peripheral trouble_ _° _ = carbon monoxide detector (-70) _. _ _ = smoke alarm _ _ _ = event log 50% full (+200) _° _ _ = open/close (+300) ._ _ _ “
