Genuine Q, what makes the HKC better than Texe other than it's slightly harder to purchase?

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Id say that the quality of HKC is slightly better, the panel has a few more features than most. For instance, every panel with a smartphone app will inform you when your kids come home an unset the alarm. But very few will inform you that they have not come home by the time they were supposed to, its just a versatile well made panel.

Texecom Radio - 2 x ewd, 2 x rkp & 4 contacts...

 

I'd assume at least 1 callback during warranty ?

All changing now , more suppliers coming on board , now the sparkies can also purchase it unless suppliers are restricted from who they can sell to , which isn't the case, as long as your some sort of cabling trade you can buy it

i rate hkc highly maybe i should do a direct comparison for here. Sia uses hkc and hasn't had a callback ever for rf issues. I've also done test sites for it with and without mesh. But agreed it wasn't vs Texecom

I won't be asking for anything for free - I'll be paying for installation and for a year of maintenance. Every installer I've spoken to will hand the system over to me after this point. Banham even gives the engineers codes upon installation. 

 

I don't want to get an HKC system - it doesn't look like they even manufacture grade 3 panels. I don't need one, but it makes me question how serious they are. Also, Texecom has mesh networking, which seems better.

Serious company then

 

Warranty won't be worth much with you having that or you will pay when you mess it up

Yes, Banham emphasise that the system they install belongs to the customer. I've inferred that they deal with a lot of high-end residential installations where the clients have their own security consultants. Unfortunately, their prices do reflect this!
