Hi all. With your installation experience what do you guys think, is this a reliable test. Benchmark Intruder Test: Wireless Alarm Panels Verdict The I-on 16 from Eaton Security is the oldest system in the test, and is also the most basic. When it was launched, simplicity was one of its major selling points. However, in today’s market, expectations for wireless alarm systems have changed. The system is left behind by the others. In low-risk domestic applications, it will have some appeal. The Enforcer from Pyronix makes use of two-way radio communications to provide a credible intruder detection system. It has a number of features which deliver benefits to the installer. Added functions ensure reliability across radio paths, and for many that will be sufficient. Risco’s Agility 3 takes a slightly different approach, in that it is aimed more at the customer who wants value-added benefits from their intruder system. It certainly plays more to the lifestyle consumer market than the traditional user of alarms, but this exploitation of technology can help win contracts. The two-way radio functionality ensures the alarm data is received by the panel. For installers seeking to move into this market, it will tick a lot of boxes. Texecom’s Premier Elite 24-W uses the Ricochet platform, which in itself delivers a very high degree of flexibility with regard to the design and implementation of wireless systems. The core functionality is as you would expect from a credible system aimed at residential and lower risk commercial applications. However, it is the potential offered by the mesh-based infrastructure that will appeal to many installers and integrators. http://benchmarkmagazine.com/intruder-test-wireless-alarm-panels/ Kind Regards.
