Recommend New Alarm System - Wireless

[imran999]

Installing an alarm system in my house and need a wireless system.

 

Looking for a Panel that is wireless and 2-way.

Needs to have capability to alert via GSM and over IP

Able to integrate IP Cameras into the system (have this setup independently so not fussed if not able to integrate to the alarm)

Viewable events over internet, with ability to arm/disarm remotely.

Prox Tag compatible with nice looking keypad

Happy to have the bell box mains fed, but rest of system needs to be wireless (apart from main panel)

 

Panels i have been considering are

Visonic PowerMaster (or the 1 way powermax pro)

 

Other Panels ive been told to look at (not sure if they meet my requirements or if available to non trade)

TEXECOM VERITAS R8+ PLUS WITH LED KEYPAD
Scantronic I-ON16 kit
scantronic 9651
Honeywell Galaxy

Risco Agility/Gardtec

How important is the IP camera integration as this stipulation has just rules your list practically out and the equipment that does have that integration is very expensive and pro panels only. What do you want the cameras for? Alarm verification or CCTV?

[imran999]

I have IP cameras set up on a server already, so not important to have ability to connect via the alarm system.

And it was purely for alarm verification as a cross check to avoid false alarms.

 

visonic Powermaster has cam/pir units at around £50 per unit. However costs mount up when you add in powerlink and gsm modules to the visonic.

The cameras only work with the Real not the standard Powermaster as far as I know?

That's how I understood it

Also If you think Visonic stuff is expensive your gonna **** yourself when you see the the prices of the proper stuff

[ChrisMurphy]

agreed, in my opinion Visonic is cheap.

 

Ricochet would be my choice, but I would put pressure on you to hardwire anything you can. Even if it means spending money on decorators you will have a much better system in years to come.

 

Many installers sell wireless alarms but they all know that cabled devices are better.

I wouldn't agree. You binning your mobile in favour of a landline then?

we all know a proper sensor is always working properly. not all this sleep bollox etc...

You have verifiable evidence and proof they don't work?
