As above. Ive decided to take it upon myself to upgrade my alarm panel for a few reasons....the first being that it was never really setup correctly and, only half the stuff is working, coupled with some scroat on a motorcross bike with no plates on it eyeing up my garage.! so i started googling new panels and this site came up...looks like my kind of site!
So first and foremost, im pretty handy mechanically and electrically, wired up my house mains years ago when you were allowed to, stripped motorbikes and rebuilt them - repaired various bits of electronic stuff, games console and whatnot...but never really looked at the alarm panel...mainly because its one of those things (to me) you set the alarm off and you can never turn it off/****ing off the neighbours when you so for that reason...never touched it....it is live in a way...the smoke alarms are all working but never really set anything else...
The current setup: without looking i think its a premier 48 panel...(about 15 years old or so) im thinking i may as well start with a fresh panel? with regards to devices attached to it: a few keypads, various PiR's, door trips, ive got an ethernet board for the lan but not used it for years and years, and a few extender boards...one right next to it.... If it's worth upgrading ive no idea where to start or, if its easer to just go with a new panel.
Anyway...thanks to anyone that takes a run at it. Ill happily listen to all angles!!
