This is why we've steered you towards the likes of Texecom. Do they have t'interwebs at their house? It's rare a kit will have everything you need - its usual to buy a kit and then add what you need.

james.wilson Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 kits are generic and usually put together. Few pro installers would use a kit they should pick the right detectors etc for the application. Now your seeing why kits are far from ideal as there has to be a compromise somewhere also pstn is being switched off by 2025 so best not install something that can only use it Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

EDinMK Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 Well they do have internet for sure. Cant have anything on stairs as dogs run up there too. So with Texecom I can get a dialler unit ? I just though a nice bundle would reduce the cost ... Is there only really TWO affordable/quality self fit alarm alternatives ..Tex or Pyr seems a narrow market to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDinMK Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Looks Good! But I have ANOTHER enigma, and i have watched videos on youtube etc ..but none seem to show this. Basically if you look at their windows (below) you can see the window is a GOOD 3/4 inch deeper than the actual frame. I mean i know the magnetic contact always goes window/door side. but even when closed it will be still a good 5mm away from even lining up opposing edges never mind facing ! and i am presuming it needs to be facing each other ....so would this be a "packer" job ? I mean I dont recall ever seeing a magnetic contact sitting or jutting out on what would be a lego brick block before or am i not looking LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
