Yes these are proper panels with all the configuration you could ever want. A bit challenging for us novices but stick with it and you will come out with a system that does what you want rather than what someone thinks is what you want. I fitted a 24 with two expanders and never used the...

For a REAL DIY setup try this :lol: http://www.zoneminder.com/ with kit from here http://www.camsecure.co.uk/Zoneminder.html It works a treat and is expandable as far as you want to go Cheers Alan

Yeah I put one in last year, wish I had put it in earlier instead of the Avanti that I started with. It is a good setup once you get you head around it , especially using the Wintex software to program it. Wire it up temporarily isolated to start with so that you can learn about it before you...

While you have the opportunity get as much cable in as possible, even if you don't put in all the sensors at the moment. It's not overkill if you are looking at these proper systems. I upgraded ours last summer with a Texecom and think it's a great system that does what I want it to do, not...

Texecom gets my vote after just fitting mine in the last couple of days. Relocation of our unit was easy using an expander to go where the tails terminated. You then run a single link off to where you want the panel. Programming via a USB lead and the Wintex software was so much easier...

The USB lead has a larger USB plug on it which contains the interface and an LED indicator. It was worth it's money not have to program the unit via the RKP. There is a huge amount of config possible with these units, which is what you expect from high end units. I have just finished...

I have copies of all the manuals and downloader software, but in the end I just programmed it via the RKP. You have to have the panel on your phone line and dial in from another line, too much hassle. Gave up on mine last week and fitted a full Texecom Premier 24, which allows you to plug...

At last an electrical post that I can give some knowledge on. I did amateur and semi pro in the past and those lights are mighty heavy and take some power. You could be looking at 1KW in just one unit. As JohnD rightly said they will probably come with an old style 15A round pin plug. They...

Well I will recommend an excellent PC based system that can be scaled up to in one case 32 cameras ! It's Zoneminder which uses Linux and standard cards. Motion detection comes as standard. I run it on a PC that also doubles up as a file server on my network. Mine has one card with 4...

Hi Terry Depending upon how savvy you are with technology you could have a look at Zoneminder free software. It gves you motion detection on a PC and is very expandable Cheers Alan

The LCD is a lot easier to program than the LED version. You can even attach it to a phone line and with the software configure it from a console. The config can be backed up from the console as well. I bought and fitted an Avanti XP myself, to replace an old box that was in the house when we...
