The advice at bank is earn more.

Do you mean independant advisor ie not the bank?

There are people that can get you a mortgage for £230000 for the money you earn.

Yes anyone practically can get a mortgage, the sticking point is paying it back... my honest advice would be let him sell it and work your way up so you are not held by the short and curlies for a mortgage that in a few years could be untenable, struggling financially would have an impact on your relationship and children.

Good advice and I meant professional , independent advice.

Thanks for all the comments. Maybe a Risco is not the best option after all. I just heard that it was a good high-end system, downloaded the manual and it didn't seem very complicated. I think from all the comments that a Galaxy is a better option (unless there are any other suggestions!).

 

I would like something grade 2 that is robust, wired, can send me SMS messages/ dialler.

 

Ideally it would also be linked in to an IP DVR system, be managed over an IP network, and have a smartphone app

Galaxy doesn't do that. An ATS advisor advanced does though.

Very few panels have the capability you require, especially video. The advisor advanced isn't difficult to program like the big brother panel and doesn't costs the earth either.

The Risco Prosys has a lot of hidden features, the manual don't give the whole story or all the info in accesing them  tbh. It can be linked via the usual transmission techs, as well as IP, Voice Dial, GSM Texts by adding appropriate boards.

 

Possibly the hardest part to get your hear around is the system is divided into different 'families' such as keypads, Wirless expanders, BUS expanders. PSU's, Output Expanders exp which are subdivided into bus zones, wired zones, wireless zones and so on.

 

each zone expander has either 1, 8, 16, 24 or 32 zones, but a maximum of 8 zone expanders, 8 PSU's and 32 bus zones as standard, you can add a further 32 BUS zones by using a BUS zone expander (splitter).

 

when planning out the system if you need 9 remote zones then you fit a 16 zone expander, the spare 7 zone slots will seem to be 'sacrificed', but you can delegate an unused wired zone number as a bus zone using a single zone expander, something i'd use to dedicated a remote door contact to.

 

what should be appealing is you can tell from the panel the voltage at each BUS detector, |PSU and so on, ideal for comparison measurements should faults occur

 

you end up with the equivilant of the rubic's cube, shifting and altering kit to be efficient, i find the best way to plan the system is use a spread sheet, imho getting the interface cable and software is a must for anything above a simple system, but then i'd recommend you would not use the ProSys 128 for such a system.

 

It can offer access control, and i'm told will work with Paxton equipment, personally as with smoke detection (which i won't have on an intruder panel) i'm not a fan of such integrations, one part plays up the rest is either out of action or condemned as faulty by the user.
