What did technical support say ?

I understand, I didn't think latest panels from texecom should do this tho but anyways

But your swb = special wintex build ? I sure Mr H and the rest could have some better meanings .... Lol

But then texecom always had firmware problems lol Just kidding Poor design to allow it write on the fly

I didn't think hkc does this? It loads the update , then programmes the panel no?

Out of curiosity, does the panel do the firmware update ? So it loads the firmware and then updates itself , similar to most devices , if the laptop was to disconnect why would the panel brick? Wouldn't it simply fail the update at download stage ?

Usually the pitfalls are not having it installed by an installer who does it everyday, as DIY usually isn't as good , as you say you have limited experience, they can always hand it over to you working and you could possibly maintain it yourself. What you choose will also depend on what your trying to protect , if your spending £300 then I assume nothing worth much and your not to fussed if it works or not, but £1000+ for an alarm and separately CCTV £2000+ , these are just starting points. Your reading about dahua and hik being an overkill? Even the basic diyer is fitting some of there range , which has a cheaper end of the market and some stuff more expensive You have a floor plan? How many doors windows , etc difficult to say anything if you don't share that , standard square building ? 5-8 cameras or more? I seen doyers spend £2k just on equipment and unlikely they will need to change anything for ten years Need info

Replace the PCB But at this point if your that confident install and ion 40 which will give you have control

Did you enter the default user code ? Or code you usually use? These panels do go faulty where they lose there nvm memory etc and usually this occurs how you described, but would also have reset the codes I believe

What panel is it connected to? Does any of the galaxy reboot from menu like dimension? But I assume it won't reboot or flush the ethernet card?

Yello

Most here probably replace it

You got a scope?

Ok we waiting...... Lol

Did you try it with the suppressor and old PSU?
