We had a Honeywell G2-12 panel installed a few years ago (8 PIR, 4 door contacts, 2 MK7 keypads). We would very much like to add an additional keypad so we can arm and disarm the system from the 1st floor / outside master bed. Currently the other keypads are on the ground and lower ground floor next to entry points.
Assuming there is not a 2 keypad limit (in which case we may need to look at switching the panel to something with more capacity)...
...we would like to add a wireless keypad (avoids messing up recently decorated walls). From what I have read in various posts, I'm still unsure if this is even an option? Please could someone clarify whether this could be an option for this system? I'm fairly sure its not an option with Honeywell products and the G2, but perhaps it is with 3rd party product additions?
If wireless is not an option, could we 'T' off an existing PIR point and use a spare core to run a wire down to another MK7 keypad?
Lastly, I understand there is an option to use a wireless keyfob with a receiver. To me this doesn't feel a hugely secure option having a button which disarms the system with a keypress and no code. Perhaps I'm not appreciating the benefits though?
Anyway, would really appreciate some advice. I will ultimately be using an alarm installer to do the work, but I'm very keen to fully understand our options before I start getting a quote.
Many thanks for your time,
Mark
