    Texecom R8 and R8+ Alarm controllers

    same Hym sheet got to be true.... You can add a speech dialer/ text dialer but the R8 can only give you an alarm activation from the bell trigger wire, and Tamper or Mains fail depending on how the SW+ is programmed. Personally I would look at the premier kit as much as I hate agreeing...

    Premier 48 elite 1 x 32xp-w address 1 or 8XP-W price and flexibility extra £20 and you can utilise more wireless zones without having to add another expander. 1 x 8XP (address 4) This would give the 32xp-w addressed as 1 zones 9 to 32, and the 8XP would be 33-40, if you add another 8XP...

    Texecom Premier Elite Specs

    If you are using contacts, they dont use any power. If they are powered shock sensors you need to work out the current draw for all the devices combined. the usb com lead wont be connected permanently so power wise you should be fine, but to work out your battery life you need to know your...

    Wireless Alarm Recommendation

    Things can go wrong with anything, the likelihood of a good, well installed and maintained (hard wired or wireless) system false alarming is low as I would suspect is a burglar using a radio jammer on a property they don't know. I wouldn't go for a wireless bellbox, especially if its...
