The modularity of the system means that homeowners can easily scale their security measures as desired.

The SC1200 also offers a backup power feature. In case of power failure, the system can continue to operate, ensuring uninterrupted service. This reliability is crucial for any security system, as it guarantees continuous surveillance and peace of mind, even during unforeseen circumstances.

User-friendliness is a priority for X10, and the SC1200 reflects this philosophy with its intuitive interface. The setup process is simplified with clear instructions, making it accessible for users of all technical backgrounds.
