I am tring to select an alarm with the following requirements:

 

Up to 8 zones

LCD keypads (1)

Proximity tag capability (prefer it built into the keypad)

Easy to use

Autodialler capability preferred but not essential (can add standalone autodialler)

Reasonable cost

 

The panel will be in an obscure location which wont be accessed regulary (no need for buttons) so will be controlled/programmed by remote keypad/fob

 

Please advise which items would be suitable

Reasonable cost?..have a look at the MDT Avanti http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=36_41&products_id=995

 

LCD keypad with prox

as fastcar says, mdt or alternativly a scantronic 9651 with prox keypad.

Thanks for the replies

 

Both seem good and I will investigate each before making a decision

 

Is the MDT really as easy to programme/operate as the manufacturers would suggest?

 

I have only really worked with Texecom products up to this point (Veritas 8/R8) and know them quite well, how do these products compare ie reliability, ease of use, how hard to set up etc etc

 

Thanks in advance

very similar.

but if you have experience with one brand that will be easier than anything else

I`m leaning towards the MDT - are the manufacturers claims accurate that:

 

There

Yes thats right

And are these claims accurate in the real world?

 

There

This is probably a daft question but I assume that the alarm can be set/unset via inputting a 4 digit code into the keypad as well as the proximity fob?

yes it can

Thanks for that

 

Is it possible to purchase the panel with 2 x prox LCD keypads

 

ie Upgrade the included keypad to a LCD prox and purchase a second

 

I dont want/need a non prox keypad

I can see if we can do a kit like that. Id assume we could. Leave it with me.

Sounds good - thanks very much!

Hi,

 

Did you find out if it was possible to purchase a panel and two prox keypads as a kit?

 

Thanks
