Need an experienced head (help with intruder alarm design)

Featured Replies

Hi

I have been going on at my folks for years to get an alarm system. My father is competent with electrical wiring, but I am clueless with alarm systems and compatibility issues. Can someone kindly reccommend a system or components for a system to cover the following specification that I've worked out:

 

Bell box - tamperproof, foam resistant

Internal audible quad alarm (my father is semi deaf)

4 pet friendly pirs - one fat labrador

100 m white cable

Control panel - that can programme the four zones, door contact and garage contact - all armed for vacant house or some armed for occupied bedtime/overnight

User friendly Lcd keypad (large text display if possible) to be mounted by the front door

Speech dialler ( 3 or 4 contact numbers stored )- NOT a sms text service

UPVC Door contact

Up and over garage door contact

13a Spur + Surface Box

Battery

Panic Button

Telephone Adaptor

Cable Clips

 

Any other parts that you think I will require

 

Thank you for your help!

Usually you would use a speaker on the panel speaker outputs

Most control panels offer this

User friendly Lcd keypad (large text display if possible) to be mounted by the front door

The only panel offering a large lcd diaply is the texecom premier keypad. YOu will also need a premier control panel with this keypad
