Hi all:
I long while ago I posted on this forum asking which alarm system I should install across some popular brands. I received some great advice and ended up installing a wired texecom premiere elite 48 and it has worked so well over the years. In fact I've installed a few since for family and friends and I couldn't be happier with the reliability and performance.
I've now come across a house where I can't find practical routes to get the wiring to the correct places and need to look at wireless.
I am looking at the TEXECOM RICOCHET PREMIER ELITE 64-W WITH SOUNDER KIT 2 (KIT-0002). Plus adding a speech/sms dialler and PA button.
The 3 PIR sensors, keypad, door contact and PA button are all going to be within 8 metres of the panel and the walls are standard residential 1950/60 build.
I am concerned about reliability of a wireless system, not having installed one in a very long time (my pre-texecom installation days).
Can anyone please give me advice about whether texecom wireless has been a reliable system?
Are the PIRs good?
Do people get more false alarms even if installed well?
Any ways to mitigating faults/false alarms with wireless systems specifically?
Thanks v much in advance for your help
