ALARM

[DARTHVADER]

I'm about to install an GJD auto-dialler to a Texacom Veritas Alarm System.
What's the view please from the pros out there re. it's location. Should it be out of site for security reasons ? I was thinking next to the panel which is inside a built in-wardrobe upstairs (I can easily run a telephone wire to it, as most of the boards are up with the house being refurbished) or would it be best in the living room next to the telephone point in there? Any ideas/help would be appreciated.

Cheers all.

Siting it next to the panel would be the better option in my opinion.

doesnt raslly matter which ever is easier for you

OK, Panel it is then. It's a bit commercial looking to be sitting on the living room wall next to phone.

Thanks.

If the panel is inside a cupboard upstairs, how convenient is this to set/unset as you walk through the front door?

I'm assuming its an R8? I'd go for hiding the dialer out of the way with the panel. I don't think either the main panel nor the dialer would take much abuse from a hammer yielding burglar.

Yes Veritas 8, and you're correct the polycarb wouldn't stand up to much. Thanks.

I expect it has a remote keypad by the door.

My panel is tucked away upstairs, with keypads where required.

John D,

The alarm has two remote keypads to allow entry/exit.

ah, that's what you call it
