Some here do. Most acknowledge that those wanting to diy using pro gear will do that anyway. I'm not ungrateful James, I'm really not and I get why a small number of people react that way. Your all professionals and I'm not (in this field) which is why I'm asking you guys your opinions . My questions are just trying to gauge the feasibility of fitting these systems.. that's all I'm after. It's not a given that I'm going to try anyway....

In fairness though fella, you had a dig then said 'I'm not having a dig' There's no big deal. I joined as I wanted your opinions. Otherwise I would have just got on with it blindly So in answer to the above, were I able to get hold of the PC software and cable, would that make it much more doo able... Pretty sure I don't need a new module for that too do I?
sixwheeledbeast Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 If we are talking Texecom PC software then if your lucky the CD will be with the panel. The cable will come from a wholesaler. When fitting pro gear for DIY the issue will come down to availability of stuff like this. If everyone could access all the information for all alarm systems, this would facilitate methods to defeat systems easier. Pro installation manuals and software are generally trade only. It is not easy to gauge the skill level of every DIY'er that stumbles upon this alarm geek forum, so take any criticism with a pinch of salt. Only you will know if you are capable of the task in hand. 2
1animal1 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Thanks fella - there must be a huge difference in the people posting on here. I'm not saying I won't hit trouble, I would just like to know if I am flogging a dead horse or at the very least - stand a chance I'll give Texecom a call later and see what their view on support is, if i were to buy their system - as suggested above. They may be open to a degree but see what you are saying regards them not wanting to release sensitive information - I tried for my current Eurosec and failed miserably which i suppose should be telling in itself. Can you pick any holes in my shopping list - summary is PIR in garage, living room, hall and landing (wired) - door contacts front and both rear doors (1 patio) - 3 settings, full, daytime (turn off living room PIR) and night time (turn off landing and LV room PIR) Texecom ricochet kit-0003 (includes 3x pir's, 1x door sensor, 2x fobs) Elite 48w 1x additional wired sensor ACH-0001 (for landing mount) CEK-0001 Wifi module Premier elite FMK pad with recess box 2x additional wireless door contacts X3-BE fully lit siren (single piezo) wired 1x Dummy X3 with LED module (not sure if can wire or not given wire already in place, or battery) for rear of property - tempted to go for 2 wired for effect as house backs on to woods PC cable from the bay If I'm running wire to the panel then i could just as easily wire to the garage and Hall leaving one wireless PIR in LV - all door contacts need to be wireless for the near impossible cable runs Thanks Edited October 27, 2016 by 1animal1
Dick Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 1animal1, you're wasting your time asking here unfortunately. You'll get all the help you want from a very helpful bunch in the 'Alarms, CCTV & Telephones' section on DIYNOT.com That said, if you are serious about security drop anything wireless and using an app from your shopping list. 1

Clearly not, otherwise he would have given up by now. Do DIYNOT verify members for Trade?

I would agree to wire as much as possible and I wouldn't be bothered about the app. If using two wired boxes you will need extra PSU, and be aware that ill illuminated bellboxes may need planning permission if branded. Use one wire and one zone per device for wired stuff. I think I answered everything... 1
