Who Makes Combo Access/ Intrusion Systems?

I'd be interested in seeing a review of Protege GX, since it's an integrated Burg/Access Control platform.  

It's always seemed odd to me that, while burglar alarm and access control seem like they would integrate well, there are not that many systems that do both and very few (if any) that do both well.

I can add to this list off the top of my head [now subsequently updated]:

Which others should make the list?

Inner Range has been making Integrated Access Control, Intruder, and automation systems for over 25 years now.  We have 3 products in this space:  Concept (getting a bit long in the tooth), Integriti (an enterprise system capable of thousands of doors and tens of thousands of detection points), and Inception (a simple web based system).

Honeywell actually has an access module for Vista called VISTAKEY, I think up to 16 doors.

Hey, that's insightful!  I have never heard of Vistakey before now!  (Good job, Honeywell marketing.)

When I got the email about your reply and glanced quickly at it, I misread the name as MISTAKEY and thought, "Well, that's not a very good name."  :-)

I've got no firsthand experience with it, but from what I've heard from some techs, that might be a pretty apt name for it.
