Intruder alarm systems?

[iamgary25]

Advice please?

Who's alarm control systems do you install and why?
And do you use the same brands sensors and PIRs?
Where do you get them from?
Are they all pretty much the same?

Not asking much
Thanks

It all depends on what your requirements are , domestic or commercial , monitored or stand alone Most basic alarm panels only have 8 zones Gardtech are OK for domestic but would use galaxy for commercial

Personally Im Happy with Texecom, vast programming features, good quality. Same with there pirs with some custom made to suite the eol resistors. Buy...well thats a google job

I like Texecom too

 

[iamgary25]

For residential, and i've been suggest to use Texecom, where do you get your equipment? Is there a good online retailer?

Do you usually buy a package or all the bits separately?

I also find when looking at the PIRs there's like 8 or more to choose from lol i want the one that does the job and doesn't cost to much. Any suggestions?

Could do with going on a training course aswell... although i can follow instructions lol

I tend to go with all the gear from one manufacturer.

 

[iamgary25]

Makes sense but tlc direct use gen4 honeywell but not there senors or pirs
where so you get yours from trev?

 

[trev]

Same place as I get the majority of my gear from mate. We have 2 wholesalers in town, one of them is CEF the other is just a little local one but they're competitive on prices

 

[iamgary25]

Yer the wholesalers i use don't do any alarms, sounds like a trip to denmans as i think they stock Texecom
Thanks Trev

[iamgary25]

gardtech as a first choice, closely followed by texecom.

Gardeners I think they have other outlets
Don't buy goods online really . not electrical or alarm stuff anyway
