Intruder Alarms

I would like to get the equivalent speech dialler but a digital one, Can you advise which speech dialler would be best?

Hi, I have a texecom PIR which has a normally closed relay, unfortunately I have a voice off device which plays MP3s when triggered. This requires a Normally Open input which closes to trigger the MP3. Is there an off the shelf device which would convert this PIR from Normally Closed to Normally Open input? Many Thanks

I have just purchased a Honeywell IS3016 security alarm sensor which does not appear to work with my existing alarm system showing as a fault on the control panel. It would be very unusual for the sensor to be faulty and assume there is a compatibility issue. the only item I can think of is the EOL setting which I have not encountered before and not aware of selectivity. I previously purchased from you the Honeywell Active8 DT which worked fine first time. My alarm system is an Accenta 8 Can you advise me what the problem may be or EOL settings.

I want to place an order. We would like to change our G2-44+ for a GD 48. First i want to ask, can we move the settings from the G2-44 to GD 48 or do we need to set all settings when install? Can we buy a RS232-wiring and do it from a computer or do we need to purchase a sw to do it? Or is it free from honeywell? If not free, can we program all from the MK7?

Hi, I have recently naively purchased and installed a powermaster 33 alarm unit along with the IP Powerlink 3 module and a camera PIR. I thought it would be as simple as install, get it working, attach to the network and link with the app. I see this in not the case. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have done some more googling and found from the visonic website links to the powermanage and powermaster interactive side of things. They mention having a CMS or remote management company... I just want to run some software from my Mac(which is on all the time) and access via the app... Any advice grateful Thanks

HI, Should the KP-250 keypad play sounds? I can hear beeps when i press buttons however there is no count down when the alarm is setting, there is no sound when a recorded message is played and there is no chime when the door opens... Am i missing something? i have turned the volume up - the beep gets louder. I have pressed 8 and the alert(bell) icon is lit and the chime is set to on and melody chime. Do i need another speaker installing or is my keypad faulty? Thanks in advance

Can you please advice me on what system i shall use? I'm out after an alarm system that has at least 3 zones (1 for intrusion, 1 for fire, 1 for water leakage) for a 2 story house, preferably which own output channels and which is possible to connect to the internet. Maybe for intrusion i should have 3 zones, like inside, perimeter and outside? Sensors i will need are: Burglary (movement - with windows breakage?), fire sensors and water leakage sensors to put in sensitive areas. I have been looking at the honeywell which seems good, but can you please give me some suggestions on good systems?

TICKET QUESTION I have been installing Visonic Powermax systems for a while now and now have a customer requesting a PIR with built in camera. I understand the Powermaster 30 is the only solution? This uses the Next Cam PG2 for which I can't find a price. Also I need to know if images only go to central monitoring station?

I'm looking for a domestic alarm that supports 2 zones (one hardwired (ground floor) with 4 PIRs, one wireless (first floor) with 3 or 4 PIRs) + 2 keypads + keyfobs + a control panel that can dial out (PSTN or other). What can you recommend which is good value for money?

Hi, I have recently installed electrically operated automatically opening curtains. These are triggering my alarm if it is set when the curtains open. Can you recommend a different PIR to the one above which will get around this problem please? Thanks

My Pyronix vocaliser has lost it's speech but still dials out upon activation. Also I cannot edit the the numbers it dials.What is the best replacement dialer/speech vocaliser I can replace it with or would a NVM chip replacement resolve this issue?

Hi, I wonder if you can help. I have an alarm system Networker ((Menvier) TS690R and need some additional wireless pir sensors. From what I can see they don't make the alarm system any more, but looking at your site it appears the Scantronic pir's maybe compatible?

I have two wire LS 400 alarm in my garage. I need a couple of new PIR sensors. Do any of your sensors work on a two wire system?

On 30 April 2015 you delivered my order including Scantronic 9651 + 9943 keypad,, 2 off Guardall PQ15 PIR, plus cable and brackets. I hang my head to admit that I am only now finishing the modification to an existing system for which I ordered the parts. Cause of the change was that the original installer had run one cable to 2 back-to-back PIR, and the cable route was forced in beside central heating pipes etc and seemed to be frequent intermittent giving faults. I have resited one PIR which I replaced with a PQ15, and added an additional PIR to the system. I ran new cable to both PIR. While I was at it, I added a new additional 9943 keypad in the master bedroom (the ca…

Hello, I would like to install a wireless alarm system in my house. The walls and floors on all levels are made of concrete/masonry so wireless strength is an import consideration. I am also keen to integrate the alarm with other smart home products i.e. Nest smoke alarm, Belkin Wemo products, etc. My idea is that if the alarm is triggered I can set the lights to be turned on. Whilst smart home connectivity is desirable, the following items are essential. iOS/Android app for remote monitoring and control. I want a proper internet app not just an app that sends sms commands to the control panel. I can hardwire the control panel to my router. Support for 3 ke…

Hi, I have an ADE ID Ultimate alarm panel and connected devices, plumbed into my property. The panel has been doing some weird things of late, I have replaced the battery and checked all the fuses but still it's giving me grief. Do you have any suitable alternatives that work off the same kind of 4 wire technology to save having to re-wire the house. I have both of the 30 channels enabled but I don't have 60 items connected, I tried to split off the fire detectors from the rest of the alarm devices. Cheers,

Hello, I am looking to purchase the Honeywell Galaxy 2-20 Wireless Starter Kit together with additional items (internal and external sounder, additional sensors, etc.). I am good with general electrical / electronics work but never installed alarms before. I can't find installation guide on the internet to see how easy will it be to install and configure the system. If you have installed this or similar system, could you please share your experience? Thanks

(referring to Info on Page 3 Installation Guide) It doesen`t sounds and flashes when the tamper switches will be activated." Can you confirm if the Siren would be faulty?

I wonder if you could help. I have a number of Aritech GS610 window sensors fitted in my home but they are not connected to the alarm box. could you tell me please which of thr 4 wires are power supply and which are sensors?

I am looking for an addressable Intruder Alarm System. I have already passed a 2 core power cable and 4 core looping from each PIR. Can you please guide me to find the correct system? I also need to connect an access control system with the intruder alarm system. Will look forward to hear from you. Thanks and Kind Regards

Hi, I have a fully wired house system. I need to add another zone to a remote building, a garage, and to run a cable is not really possible. Can you recommend a wireless add on Tx/Rx. The zone will have just two door contacts which can be wired in series. the garage does have mains power if required. The garage is about 80 feet from the panel and has direct line of sight, that is to say no major structures to weaken the signal. many thanks

Property one: wireless system with either prox sensor built in with the possibility of adding a remote one or control panel with two remote prox key pads. 3 wireless magnetic door contacts. 4 wireless PIR wireless external sounder. Property 2: wireless system with either prox sensor on control panel with the possibility of adding a remote one or control panel with two/3 remote prox key pads. 2 wireless magnetic door contacts 4 wireless PIR Wireless external sounder. These systems need to be very…

Hi, I've been looking into the Galaxy dimension system for my home for a few reasons, I need to protect the house and two out buildings and I like the IP/GPRS options. Now an oversight on my behalf is the use of RS485 between modules and remote panels, I'm used to systems like the the Honeywell G4. When doing up the house I've used 6 core standard cable, so my problem will be the cable to the remote panel by the front door. The length of this cable is under 10 metres, will I get away with this? As for the 2nd panel upstairs and a powered RIO out in the garage I can easily run cat5 cable. I don't normally ask questions like this but this cable has been run and plastere…
