We strongly recommend that installation and setup of all computers and any PTI Security Systems equipment be
done by a certified, licensed, qualified, and competent technician. PTI Security Systems can recommend local
dealers and installers, but it is up to the customer to verify their qualifications and negotiate any pricing or contracts
unless we have been specifically contracted in writing to do so for the customer. The above information represents
recommended minimum guidelines. These guidelines are subject to change without notice. With any computer setup
or configuration, some troubleshooting and adjustment of the configuration may be required. This will differ with every
computer setup depending on operating system, software installed on it, quality of components, internet connection,
modem connection, or any other variable introduced into the setup. This troubleshooting and configuration may include
purchasing additional equipment. In no circumstances will PTI Security Systems be responsible for any damages either
incidental or consequential based on these recommendations.
Computers running any PTI Security Systems hardware, software, or utilities must meet our computer requirements.
These computer requirements are intended as a minimum guideline for operating our access control system. If a
customer intends to add third party peripherals to the system, they are responsible for ensuring that the products are
compatible with the access control system they have installed.
