  3. Hi All. I'm Joe Public and am looking to you fine men (and women) to guide me on the following alarm system; Either: RISCO Agility 3 or the Texecom Ricochet System (Please don't suggest other systems eg Honeywell) as my mind is melting already...I just want a good alarm that will do the job as I've had shifty characters quiz my 14yo daughter about when Im in/out :-( I need 6 PIR's and 4 door sensors.

    Hello folks. Joined Modern alarms in 1987 when the only qualifications required were an ability to not need sleep and to keep smiling regardless. Started with single zone panels with end of line batteries and kilometers of cc wire tacked to floors and ceilings behind hardboard, with tube and batten windows. Used to put mains voltage down them to find the weak joints. Just had to make sure no kids about. The company then, was in such flux that if you could stick it for a year they paid long service pay and two days extra holiday. Still hanging on for my "30 years service free pen!" Ron.

Most of my learning is on the job and self initiated . IVe been taking old panels home and familiarising myself with programming . Now so …
