Secware Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I am looking for a home alarm system for both security and fire / carbon monoxide There are three bedrooms on the top floor, downstairs there is a hallway leading to the front door, a combined lounge / dining room 25m2 with windows at either end, kitchen with door to outside and a bathroom with a large window. The lounge will need to have a carbon monoxide detector fitted as it will contain a log burner. I would like to be able to mount the control unit away from the key pad and may in the future wish to add another keypad to go in the kitchen. I am very happy to have a wired system and install it myself as the whole house is being renovated at the moment but would welcome your advice on the most cost effective system I can buy from you including internal and external sounders, sensors, detectors etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accounts3 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 You need to ensure that the smoke detectors you choose to go with your perferred control panel, is 12v not 24v, Intruder alarm systems run on 12v, where as Fire alarm systems run on 24v, and you can not mix the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secware_Tech6 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 id recommend a honeywell accenta. This will allow upto 8 zones with upto 2 of these as fire sensors. If you need more circuits id have a look at the galaxy flex systems or G2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
