[What infrared systems would be best?]

Optex and take make the best or beams imo 

 

Panel wise it depends on the features you need? 

[Will this fit an accenta g4 alarm panel?]

yes

or

Eaton M12 multi sensor smoke and heat detector

[Looking for replacements sensors?]

That detector requires an analysed circuit on the panel (some panels support this) or an analyser.

Alternativly is a conventional circuit use

Knight Grade 2 Shock and Surface / Tilt Sensor [SEISMO]

 

[Would this be a suitable quality replacement for a failed pir]

yes probably, what sensor are you replacing and in what environment?

[Is Texecom Connect free?]

Texecom Connect App – Free to Download
The Texecom Connect app is free to install and use. However, to unlock its full functionality, your alarm system must be compatible and properly configured.

For remote access and control, a Texecom SmartCom or SmartCom 4G module may be required, depending on your setup.

[How to stop a Texecom alarm from beeping]

Generally a beeping texecom alarm is caused by 2 things. Chime is enabled and it is beeping when a circuit activates or it has a fault.

 

Texecom Turn Chime Off

 

Press the musical note button on the keypad. The chime will be disabled immediately.

To set up chime zones:

1. Enter your 4-digit user code.
2. Press MENU, then press TICK to confirm.
3. Scroll through the menu and select Edit Chime Zones. Press TICK.
4. Browse the zone list and highlight the zone you want to enable. Press X to toggle.
   • The zone status will change from Silent to Chime.
5. Press MENU, then RESET to save and exit.

Diagnose A Texecom System Fault

If it’s a system fault that’s causing the beeping, your keypad will show a fault message.
The beep will continue until the fault is fixed.

Make a note of the fault displayed, this can also be retrieved from the texecom panel log
Try entering your 4 digit code, then RESET.

 

For further assistance create a new topic in the support forum listing the equipment type and fault reported.

 

[What is the default code for Texecom?]

The default user code for texecom systems is '4321' but it may have been changed. 

[PIR Sensor for Staircase Lighting]

Due to the chnage of elevation (ie top and bottom of stairs your really going to need 2 sensors. A corridor sensor on a bracket may work well but isnt designed to angled that way. Also bear in mind the link you provided is a intruder alarm sensor not for switching 240v. It could be connected to a relay and suitable power source though. If doing that id recommend a voltek system as they provide adjustable low voltage sensors and it will be easier to run a low voltage alarm cable to the sensors from where the current switching is taking place.

Yes images would be useful to get a better understanding. ALso a drawing where you want detector coverage?

[What is the difference between a burglar alarm and an intruder alarm?]

There is no real difference between an intruder alarm and a burglar alarm. A burglar alarm is often the phase that is used to describe an intruder alarm but intruder alarm is the more accurate term as not all unwanted intruders are burglars.

 

[Which sensor is best for motion detection?]

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

[Eaton I-on 10-50 Zone Expandable control panel , Will this work with radio smoke detectors?]

You can add a radio expander to this panel via the bus. Then compatible smoke detectors can be added. To use a call point you would need a clean switch model and add external eol resistors. A speech dialler can be directly connected to one of the programmable outputs. But this would not make it a complaint fire alarm. If BS5839 is required you will need to use a compliant fire alarm panel.

[How do I omit a zone on a Scantronic 9651 with 9941 keypad?]

Omitting Zones Your system may be programmed so that you can omit individual detectors.

Ask your Installer which zones can be omitted.

To omit a zone:

1. Key in your access code or present a tag and press X. The display shows: Omit Zone?

2. Press the number of the zone you want to omit (for example, key in 07 to omit zone 7).

3. Press Y. The sounder gives a double beep and the display shows the zone number followed by an "o": Note: Omit Zone? Omit Zone 07o If the display shows a “x” after the zone number then you cannot omit that zone. To omit further zones repeat steps 2 and 3.

4. Press X to finish.

To set the system with an omitted zone:

5. Key in your access code (or present a tag) and press a Level key..

6. The control unit gives an error tone and the display shows (for example): A:Omit Zone 07?

7. Press Y. If necessary, press Y again for each omitted zone shown on the display. (If you wish to escape press X.) After you press Y for the final omitted zone the control unit starts to set.

[I was told i could use this Wireless Receiver. But do you know which sensor i could use?]

What wireless rx are you using. I assume this is then connected to the panel hard wired? 

[I am looking for a 2 or 3 camera system for continuous recording]

Hi

Solar powered cameras are usually diy type products and not professional grade. There are solar options but due to the size and cost and usually specialised. Plus you will need to run some sort of wifi transmitter as well as the camera. You will also need to consider the time the camera and any ir emitter will have to function during hours of darkeness and low recharge output in the winter,

[[Ticket Question] Replacement sensor]

The aritech se sirs require either a compatible panel or an analyser. 

You may be better off with a knight combined unit

[[Ticket Question] SD1]

As above converters are not designed or tested for this purpose. It may work 80% of the time but may not when actually needed. You need a communicator designed for ip or gsm

[[Ticket Question] Paxton Pro Standalone]

Yes you will need a compatible lock case to suit the door type

[[Ticket Question] Alarm for a Gardeners Yard]

You can use either the HKC with standalone contacts in enclosures eith HD external contacts

or the pyronix enforcer. 

Both will function without internet but notifications wont be possible,

Note our products are designed for professional installer use

[[Ticket Question] MDT Avanti LC Steel Control Panel]

Unfortunatly not

[[Ticket Question] Chubb Alarm System]

what you need is a shunt lock. Different lock types are available for different doors, backsets etc

[Texecom External Sounder]

Any hard wired bell would be suitable.

We do offer SW bell stickers to add to the unit

[voltek single zone controllights stay on too long]

It sounds like you have either a failed controller or pir.

DIsconnect all pirs andding one of them (test each one) and see if the fault disappears. If so start adding pirs back into the system until the fault reappears

[[Ticket Question] Flex 20 Mk7]

The panel will require an ethernet module and then the ethernet cable can be plugged in
