  1. Your looking at kit that the installers you have quotes from may have never fitted. If you are really unsure from what we have said so far, the only other things I can think of is:- Mesh, Texecom is Mesh based this maybe a good thing or it maybe a not so good thing. Generally you need more devices to increase signal security, with the idea that devices talk to each other not just to the controls. In a normal house the mesh will make little difference either should work fine. Range of devices, I know that Texecom has a large range of kit from Outdoor PIR's, DT's, Smokes, PA's .... As for others I don't know them well enough to comment on there range of kit.
  2. The usual advice is get at least three quotes from approved companies. Choose the one you feel comfortable with and suits your needs, not necessarily the cheapest. Have you also compared warranty periods, maintenance procedures and service costs?
  3. I would think less about the kit and more about the installer. I would go Texecom but only because that is preferred kit that I know very well. Different installers will use different kit that suits there company and they are trained and experienced on.
  4. Internal? Series the speakers together?
  5. I know the Pyronix Belle well and you will find is more like 500mA. PSU would be required unless you use SCB mode. You shouldn't have a system running anywhere near it's maximum output. You will need to common the negatives from the PSU's and also consider how you will get the tampers to work together.
  6. We are talking DIY help here. Seems sensible advise if there has been no issues. I would hope the system was installed correctly. Do I really need to have this sort of disclaimer for every DIY post? Obviously the ideal solution is have an approved installer service the system, but that wasn't the question.
  7. Found out what's in there an replace like for like would be sensible.
  8. Texecom is 2 way mesh. Visonic seem misleading, when it comes to 2 way and 1 way kit. I believe that Powermax is 2 way but mostly 1 way devices, PowerMaster is 2 way AES-128 no idea on devices.
  9. But a PIR isn't a DT? Have you fitted the correct device for the environment?
  10. Use a Hybrid system wire as much as you can and wireless for the rest. The wireless should be 2-way, there's a lot of 1-way tat out there.
  11. Either continue omitting the circuit or get the PIR swapped.
  12. All none contract SIM's will expire, you have to use them to stop them expiring.
  13. Probably doesn't need a Strobe + It may sound because the lid is open.
  14. Seems it's wired incorrectly then?
  15. Yearly for CR's, 2 years for Bells, here on that kit.
  16. Have you tried resetting it with the code then? Still sounds like the battery is faulty.
  17. Only the percentage the ISP's can make money on, at the moment.
