I've seen somewhere that the system makes more sense as a monitored solution - I don't want to invest and install a new system only to find I don't get half of the benefits because its not monitored.
Due to a house rennovation I'm replacing the old Response wireless alarm and want to fit something "proper" this time around! Currently deciding between a Pyronix Enforcer with Home Control and the Visonic Powermaster 30.
Requirements are pretty straight forward:
I know that you can get PIRs with IP cameras built in for the Visonic system, which is an option for the future, however I don't believe I would be able to utilise it without a monitored solution? Or am I able to set this up for myself? That could be the clincher, as the extra outlay on the Visonic Powermaster with PIR cameras would be offset by the lack of need for an additional CCTV solution.
I also like the fact that I can add CO and smoke detectors to the Powermaster system, which means I can replace the current devices as and when they expire.
TIA for any help or advice on this.

Requirements are pretty straight forward:
- Enough PIRs to cover two floors
- Enough contacts to over all entry points and garage doors (its an internal garage)
- Hidden panel with remote keypad(s) for arm/disarm (really don't want another big panel stuck to the wall of our newly decorated hall!)
- Ability to set up the usual full and part set zones
- Panic button(s)
- Remote key fob capability
- Prox tag capability
- External wireless bell
- Internal sounder
- Some form of comm's for notifications*
