best thing is to visit the Texecom forums, but here goes.
- When upgrading the firmware to v4 will I lose my current settings? Yes, any ricochet devices its recommend to delete and relearn
- Can I get free APNS notifications instead of charged SMS for my alarm notifications? push notifications are sent.
- Is it possible to get notifications of batteries going flat - currently the first I know of this is when a battery has gone flat and the system reports a fault rendering it unusable until the battery is replaced! you can select to have a full suite of notifications, this is probably covered under maintenance but would need to look up the reporting codes to verify.
- Using the smarthub can I connect to Wintex and Ricochet over wifi? The smart hub is effectively the smart com with a few extras, the smart com can already do this and use the Texecom smart plug.
- Can I enable/disable the alarm from the mobile app and if so can i do that from a remote location? Yes and Yes, access to internet connection required.
- Any recommendations for IP cameras that are compatible with the texecom system, will any IP camera work? I'm actually sure if cameras will integrate the system now or if thats a future enhancement yet to come. In theory any CCTV with an internet connection can be used, the issue is the commands lines used will vary. So for example, the command to an NVR access of camaer may be different to a DVR, may be different to an ip camera on the network, and it will vary for each manufacturer, so you will need to find the correct command line required.
