Hi I have finished hard wiring house and now looking for recommendations for a system, looking for 1 door contact,6 pir’s, external box, remote keypad and a panel, would like some form of notifications on my iPhone. So any help on which manufacturer and system to go for ?
Thanks

Manufactures with remote notifications Risco , Texecom , Pyronix .
Some manufactures charge for the app connection to a cloud service and some are currently free, but may charge.
Texecom are updating their Connect app to V2 ,this may has problems/issues once release and will make fixers as end users complain of problems once released.
Most manufacturers do have bug issues and some fix then quicker than others.
 
Euro 46s with digi Wi-fi.
First year with the cloud is free when you register as an end user.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations, I will have a look and do the sums and see how far apart they are
 
The Pyronix 46 connects to cloud via Wi-Fi module or Lan module.
If you can install a cat5/6 data cable between control panel and router this can help with any connections to the internet .

Thanks it will have a cat5e installed
 
Have an ups for your router unless using GPRS for the app.

You had any thoughts on the sensors your are looking at, the new Capture range maybe worth a look easier to install than some of he others .


Panels depend on what your looking for cost the main manufacturers websites to get an idea of what's available.

Thanks had a look at the capture range, don’t know if it’s just me but don’t like the look of them, will have another look and see if they grow on me
 
All I can ay is they look better in the flesh, if they are populr enough the old range will probably get phased out.

when i first saw the design proposed i had my doubts, but got a sample, they just very different to the norm

Thanks for taking the time to reply, as I only need a few I will go for these
 
I've self installed a Texecom, they was helpful and the forums and manuals was good and mostly clear. the Ricochet you can also use the smaller contacts as well as capture? I had a completely wireless texe initially until i moved house and now have an hybrid Texe system. Seems pretty reliable and the smartcom links to the cloud and an app for notifications which is great
 
Thanks for all the help everyone now to get a list made find the best deals on texecom and the capture pir’s
