fmiah Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Hi, Can I please ask for some help on choosing a new alarm system for my 4 bed semi house with a garage on the side. The garage has a flat roof and there is a new flat roof extension being built at the back which will give access to 2 bedrooms. I have a living room at the front and a study on one side. The open plan kitchen/diner will have large folding patio doors at the back. The house is being completely gutted so hard wiring is not a problem and I have builders and electrician in at the moment re-wiring the place. I have been told about the Scantronic 9651 and 9751 systems and i would like a bell on the outside with LED lights and a number pad that can be controlled with key fobs. Can anyone please advise on these two control panels, the 9751 is obviously more expensive and would I need this. Also, how complex is it to set these systems up? I have had a couple of quotes of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastCar Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Can you use the quotes to determine how many zones are needed. and the location of detectors?.Basically you would wire all detectors back to the place where the panel will be ( understairs , garage , upstairs cupboard).The specialist knowledge is required in the system design , detector choice and locations and programming the system to your requirements, a good company would have dedicated installation engineers who could do this for you in a day , where it may take you that long to decifer the manuals.There are many domestic panels with 8 zones , but it sounds like you may require more zones , so it would work out more expensive.
