Hi
In process of helping my brother replace a wired alarm with a hybrid system and got a few questions.
Basically we going to leave where wired the PIR's there and have system if we want to add more or have we can add wireless ones
Requirements are
1) If alarm sounds either call or text alert
2) Be able to monitor / set or unset remotely from a phone say via text or app
It's quite an old alarm we fitted it when we were young now i'm in my 40's . It's not been active for years. Idea was to use wiring already in place where possible.
Should we
1) Replace PIR's we not sure on quality or if technology improved which i would expect to have done.
2) External Sounder is wired so make sense to replace with another wired. Could we do a wired sounder at front and on back add wireless or do alarm systems only allow 1 sounder.
3) If wire is short can we just add a joiner of some sort to extend a little this would be a hidden location, we never left much slack in some areas wires a bit stretched
Based on requirements i'm not sure if go honeywell, texecom or another. I'm sure that the like which phone question i.e ios, android or windows as they all do same thing but in different ways
All comments and guidance welcome. Budget not a major issue, lets say under 1000
