Im looking to fit an RFID panel system, I have only ever fitted keypad panels, The reason for wanting an RFID panel is that the householder wants an easy SET/UNSET option. As above I have no experience with the RFID "tag" and wondered how reliable they are etc etc. Also what are the popular brands.

What systems do you normally do?
reliable, define.
If set up and used correctly very reliable.

Thanks for the response, Im a pure DIY installer but have done a few now, probably all with the basic optima G4, Medusa PIR's and sometimes shock guards. No doubt the stuff you proffessionals dropped a long time ago 
.
Reliable....I meant as in arming and disarming regularly with no issues, as the homeowner doesnt want a code entry I though about these RFID hence the post.
Excuse my nievity but could RFID be added to an exsiting system, say my own Optima panel. i.e swapping my remote keypad with an RFID reader ?

if they have any in stock you may drop lucky, system is obsolete but the odd panel is knocking about and as your familiar it may be an easier starting point
Again thanks for the advice, im looking at a kit that includes the following, are the PIR's at least if not better than the good old texacom medusa's I have always used in the past.
- 1x Premier 24 Poly Control Panel
- 1x Premier LCD-P Prox Keypad
- 3x Premier Capture PIR'
- 5x Prox Keyfob
Not a fan of Texecom Capture range.
The locking mechanism is rubbish,would have been better with metal on metal fixings.

The capture fittings have been improved, the newer ones are more engineer friendly, I certainly noticed the difference,
Not sure what date code that change was made mind
