i thought i was quite clear with my needs. for example, i said i wanted 6 pirs downstairs and they had to be hard wired to the control panel. i'd also like them to be quad pirs. so, will the AMQDs be fit for purpose or do i need some other piece of texecom kit?

i can't download the installation instructions as i'm not registered as an installer with texecom. and i'm just a normal joe and shouldn't register myself as an installer? so maybe a chicken & egg situation?

first thing i want to know is whether texecom's AMQD pirs can be hardwired or not. where do i find this info on texecom's site? i've looked and looked for manuals and other reference material but simply cannot find it. could someone please point me to where i can view/download the info...

i need help with getting the right bits of texecom kit. rundown of what i need: downstairs: 6 pirs + 2 door contact sensors + 2 window impact/shock sensors. i'd like the 6 pirs to be hardwired. upstairs: 3 pirs + 1 window impact/shock sensor. these pirs can be hardwired or...

forgot to say that the nsi registered one used honeywell units/system. denso13 - yup, you're right. commonsense and a lot of patience :D

unfortunately, the company is neither nsi nor ssaib! 2 out of the 3 comps who gave us quotes are not registered. one was nsi registered but then their quote is for the least equipment and the highest cost! so i'll probably DIY.

ok, thanks for that.

ok, thanks for that.

for gas and electrical work, i check to see if the engineer is approved by national boards. so, in the same vein, for security system installers, is the nsi check worthwhile?

for my home, which is pet free, will a pir do or should i go with a quad or dual or tri? dual seems to be the one to get, but i'm a novice in this area and would like some advice. thanks.

got a quote to install risco/rokonet home security system. are they any good? compared to texecom, honeywell, adt etc. the panel is gt600 series. the pirs are V40DT. (don't think its the V40QDT) thanks.

just asking guys, are units from honeywell and risco group as good as others? eg honeywell IR8M (pir) and SHK8M (shock sensor). eg risco V40DT (pir) and RWT72MIQ (door sensor).

please suggest decent outdoor security lights that can withstand UK weather. i might as well get a decent one in the first place and set it up once and hopefully it'll last a fairly long time. thanks.

PrenticeBoyofDerry - 500w - what was i thinking? sorry, had a brain freeze. yes, 150w or 100w is what i meant. phew! thanks for your advice about cable & fuse. very helpful.

complete newbie to electrics so need help & advise. i want to hang a security light on my outside back wall. already have hole in wall for my satellite tv cable which i no longer use. hence, can re-use for security light cable. no need to get qualified electrican and no need to drill extra...

listen guys, chillax a bit. i hope everyone is having a debate in good humour and not getting upset. ok, let me ask you this, though i should start another thread, but i'm lazy! you know those standalone door and window sensors... do they do as they say on the tin? do they actually work...

yup, you are correct. i'll have to think about the cost/hassle factor a bit before i decide.

ahhh, ok, i'm starting to see the light. all very helpful info so far. i'm not being funny, but even a wired system can be taken away when i move on - ie i take the pirs, keypad, brain etc but leave the wiring in place. yes?

i'm a complete newbie to security systems. so, i need your help. this is for my home which is a semi with side garage and flat roof. i want to install a "basic" system - door sensors, pirs, glass sensors and alarm. not too bothered about cctv nor monitoring. tell me, which is better, wired...
