Hi OK i'll do a list but just looking at PIR's what is difference between dual tech and quad tech and if prices similar is it still best sticking to Dual

I'm in Greater Manchester I've looked at kits and most drop in wireless PIR Can you use any PIR with any system ie if texecom don't have Wired PIR then I use another ? I do like to research a lot before I commit usually money less issue the a reliable future proof and sleek system or...

What is there at moment 1) 4 Wired Pir's 2) 1 Door Contact 3) 2 Wired Keypads 4) Wired External Sounded Technically only 2 zones of upstairs and downstairs but as we were novices i think we set each PIR in it's own zone If i recall correctly the wires are 6 core and we use 2 for...

Hi In process of helping my brother replace a wired alarm with a hybrid system and got a few questions. Basically we going to leave where wired the PIR's there and have system if we want to add more or have we can add wireless ones Requirements are 1) If alarm sounds either call...

Look forward to next post I'd not do as office i want to do as alternative to a conservatory with two solid side walls and bifold at end Problem maybe roof which i want solid with a couple of sky light windows. I could probably use same people you did as you're from Manchester and i'm...

Interesting Project I was hoping doing same but actually as extension to back off house. I think be quite a coll edition with the right cladding So i'll keep a watch on how you get on

No solid floor all wiring through walls and i suppose 1st floor roof space No other sockets on that side Closet other power source would be actual consumer box itself which is about 2 m away actually in the cloak room But get wire would mean probably doing something in partition wall...

Hi Guys In my hall i want a power socket but there is no other power sockets on that side of the hall. There is one on other wall. But there is a light switch for Cloak room toilet which is pretty much above where i want socket Now this maybe the silliest question ever, i'm a...

I'll be getting quote for installed system and work out prices of doing it myself before i decide but been very helpful

Thanks was reading other threads on here looks like people prefer PSTN over ip or GSM Would that still be true i understand the IP argument have power failure alarm activates but your router is off No idea on Risco that's what i'm trying to work out i am IT tech. So i'm wondering if...

Thanks Guys for responses Yes self monitor is what i'm after but ip or gsm is not big issue just which ever is easier But i think gsm modules are more expensive ? or i'm looking at wrong ones some cost like £200 Sorry guys should have said i'm either looking wireless alram or hybrid...

Hi So i'm after an alarm which i can monitor remotely as well as arm / disarm But i'm not 100% sure what type of communication to use IP or GSM I was looking at Honeywell and appears Ethernet module actually needs a cable is this the same on most alarms i.e they don't connect to router...

Thanks Will read around more. But very interesting area.

i'm not 100% sure on automation LighwaveRF seem good but it does use 4xx and 8xx, same as wirelsess alram range Or C bus i think, only began looking into it Was just researching seeing if i could do automated lighting and security in one system or controlled from one piece of software

Hi Guys Was just looking for opinions on the DSC alarm Systems http://www.dsc.com/index.php I'd never heard of them but was looking at home automaton systems and a piece of software which is compatible with these systems as well as lighting Also some home automation products work...

The reason for the 48 w was the smartkey app only works on that and above does not function on the 24 even Suppose should check costing difference then way up is it even worth it Would 12w allow wiring a external siren if thats what i chose to do Also is it ever worth having a siren...

I really like the option of Hybrid over fully wireless And i really like the sound of the Risco Lightsys2 system but hard to get any prices online at least But then in other hand i'm thinking can i be bothered to wire the bell box The risco systems seem interesting as they use...

Hi A lot of alarm companies seem to install these two systems as wireless alarms of choice. Not sure if they any better then say Texecom or Honeywell. I know they harder to get a hold off for self install and probably harder to setup. Anyone provide any experience of either system
