Intruder Alarms

I'm new to this forum and although I tried to read several posts I'm not sure if I came across this topic. I'm thinking of buying the G2-44 for domestic use. On deciding which wired Motion Detectors to choose I'd like your opinion on which brand: Would you advise to stick with Honeywell products (such as the DT 7550A) or would other products such as Rokonet iWise DT15, Pyronix FPKX15DT3, Bosch TriTech, etc will do a better job and fit better with the system? I'm open to suggestions... Thanks!

There is not 1 intruder alarm sensor that can be used in all environments. For example a PIR cannot be used in rooms with fast acting heat sources. Whilst a Dualtec cant be used in close range to glass. I wrote a post detailing how they work and how to avoid common mistakes when choosing a detector technology as well as the manufacturer How Intruder alarm Movement detectors work

Good afternoon, Can you help me please. We are building a garage at present and want to use a wired alarm (we normally use the Pyronix euro mini) but we also want a remote wireless key fob that uses the 433mhz frequency so that we can add this new alarm onto the existing key fob that controls the auto gates, outside lights and the garage door. The Pyronix KEYFOB-WE is on the 868mhz frequency as are most of the main manufacturers key fobs. Is there either a good company making a wired system with a 433mhz fob available or a 433mhz wireless alarm expander/key fob that can be added to a Pyronix alarm? (I’m aware that the 433mhz frequency ma…

Hi, Will a Robot vacuum cleaner trigger the alarm? I'm thinking about buying a robot vacuum cleaner but I'm worried that the vacuum cleaner will set off the alarm system. What can I do to avoid false alarms. Is it best to buy pet tolerant movement detectors with dual technology or is it enough with PIR? Or will the alarm go off no matter what kind of movement detectors I use? Best regards Tomas

Four connections positive negative two more wires for trigger to zone 8.

Can any one tell me is there such a thing as a window contact+vibration sensor combined (hard wired) if so what is it called and who makes it, seems a pity to have to fit both if there is a combined unit. thanks again for all your help

Hi, I purchased the Wintex software off your website last night. However I am unable to download the software, it just says "NOTE: Downloads are not available until payment has been confirmed" My order number is #12973. Would it be possible to email me the .zip file please? Thanks, Tom.

I'am in search for a wire diagram of the A221 flash program cable to program Dutch firmware into my Galaxy G2 panel, I have the dutch software: F118-02-150-CRC-6E46.mot Honeywell software: Flash programmer 3.00 G2 RS232 Lead Part no: A228 When I start-up I select the .mot file and COM1, but after a short time I get the error message: Initialization Process Failed. Retry? Now it looks that I need a cable A221 to program the flash memory, Is there somebody who now how I can convert my A228 cable into a A221 cable. Inside the electronics box in between the A228 cable there are a lot of empty places. If I have a diagram of both cables I think that I can work this…

Hi, I'm trying to source a system for a mostly vacant property I own. Must have GSM ability, preferably with remote antenna, as most networks arent great. Minimum requirements for now 3 x PIR ( prefer wired ) 2 x Smokes ( prefer wired ) 2 x External siren/strobe ( wired ) 2 x Internal siren ( I want it to be loud inside ) Battery backup Most GSM systems seem to offer control via the mobile ? that would be handy. Also, although this is not a permanent install for now, I want the panel to be future proof. With perhaps addition of automatic-gates via mobile along with more PIR's and door contacts. Any reccomendations ? I have had one local guy price a…

Hi, what pir would you recommend to cover windows inside a curtain, that wolud able to be set when a person is moving around the house. I do not want to fit inertia shock sensors on the windows.

Hi all Looking to purchase a wireless alarm for my house. 5pir's, 1 contact, panel. Would like to use existing wired bell box if possible. A good battery life would also be nice. Been looking at the infinite prime alarm, and the visonic powermax kit. The Scantronic 500r also looks ok Only problem is that the powermax plugs in with a plug in transformer, wouldn'y that be easy to defeat by a burglar? Any advice would be great Thanks Josh

I am after a bit of help. I am looking for a wireless alarm recommendation. I normally fit a mixture of texecom and Honeywell hard wired system, but looking for a wireless system. Just a few requirements : Decent looking keypad. Bell box with illuminated back light Ability to send activation via internet. Thanks Ryan

hello i am looking for a alarm system which will protect my home and garage .also a cctv system with hard drive.thks adam

Hi all, I hope this generates some discussion and hopefully for me an informed conslusion which will send me down the right path to purchase. I am looking at installing my first wireless alarm system (I have installed a few wired systems in the past but that was a long time ago) so technology has improved somewhat however I have some specific requirements which I am hoping some expert guidance will help me choose an appropriate system. The property is a new build with 3 levels, there is a garage within the build however there is no access from inside the house (only garage door access), gates to each side of the property and the rear of the property has a 30 ft …

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 am a newbie here, I had an older alarm panel and as the PIR's were rubbish I replaced all the PIR's with new Bosch ones, but the control panel tamper sensors have had it so now I need a new control panel. I would really like to fit a door contact or virbration sensor to the rear patio doors but it would be a real pain to get a cable to it. Are there any wireless panels that could accept wired and wireless sensors? I am happy with all the other sensors I have so I don't want to install a complete wireless system. Thanks for your help Chris

TICKET QUESTION Hi, I am an electrician and am looking for a wireless alarm system to install for a customer. Like the look of the Risco kit but sold out. I need one keypad, a fob, door magnet, and 3 PIR's plus external sounder. Is it practical to build the kit up from bits or do you suggest something else?? Budget not much more than £220. Thanks Howard

Good morning, I've bought a GalaxyFlex and a RF Portal from Honeywell which work like a charm I would like to add some Wireless shock/vibration sensor with Door Contact in my house. I've bought the "Honeywell Le Sucre Wireless Shock Sensor with Contact White" ( Model: SHKC8M ), but it's quite big. I would prefer something smaller, more discreet , like the Honeywell Wireless Door/window compact magnetic contact Brown ( Model: DO800M2 ), but with the shock sensor feature Could you advise me another product (shock + contact) which would be compatible with the GalaxyFlex ? Thanks in advance for your help Cedric

Hi The receiver panel is a RFX08 and a 9751 control unit. The client has a 722 fob that will activate the panic alarm. However they have requested something like a one button alarm that can be attached to a wrist band/necklace for an elderly persons use around the home. Thanks PeterG

HI again Following on from another question i would also like to know how to wire more than 1 sensor on a circuit. Whenever in the past i have done this, when testing the system it has failed to activate. I assume this can be done as some systems have more than 8 detectors. Chris

I have a need to add 2 (ideally 3) door contacts onto a single zone on a texecom premier 48. I have tried putting resistors in each device but this wont work. I have looked in the manual and its not very detailed. It it possible or do i need to buy an expander such as the 8xe? Thanks Eddie

Hi, first post Can anybody tell me the recommended way of wiring a Texecom Premier48 and PSU200XP combination to the mains supply? Would each panel require its own fused spur? I will not be undertaking this work myself, but would like to have some knowledge of what is required before approaching an electrician. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I have recently purchased a scantronic 9651 control panel from this site Iv'e also purchased honey-well pet friendly PIR's. I've managed to work out how to wire the bell-box and 9941 key pads but can some one help me with an idiots guide to wiring the PIR's and front door magnet. because I'm having trouble with the tamper wiring (do I need to use all 6 cables for the PIR and only 2 for the door magnet? Thanks in advance Darren
