Question about those wireless alarm panels near metal studs
My buddy Mike from the Denver install crew told me to always mount my Qolsys panels at least 3 feet away from metal studs or the signal drops by 40%, and after fixing a job last week where I ignored him and had to rerun a whole system, I gotta ask does anyone else just test the signal strength before drilling holes now?

Learned that lesson the hard way too, but at least my drill bits get a good workout.

@the_dakota yeah I used to think signal was signal no matter what but this post totally changed my mind.
