Hi guys its been a while since my last confession but it seems I could do with some help, I dont see much intruder these days. I was given one of these Texecom Premier Elite AMDT to replace a defective Honeywell DT, the existing DT is connected to a Menvier panel. Am I right in thinking that these detectors can only be used in a EOL situation? I couldnt see how you could connect them as just an old traditional 2 loop alarm and tamper circuit.

can anyone give me a simple calculation (not an app) for calculating what size battery i require, taking in quiescent, in alarm and time of back up needed...ta

Hi all: I have been installing Texecom Premiere Elite 48 (wired) for a while with great success and reliability. I now need to install a wireless alarm as I have come across a property where running the cables with be too difficult. As I know Texecom very well I am looking into install their wireless alarm, specifically the 64-W Kit-0002 with a few add-ons (panic button etc). Can anyone please give me their experience of how reliable this system is? Any advice... Thanks v much

been asked to establish a viable loop circuit....on all systems ie fire cctv access intruder...what is that ..i have an idea but not definite

hello I am looking to change my home intruder alarm, due a spate of attempted break ins in my area (around 10 in 3 days). currently have a veritas 8 but looking to change. looking for a midrange ££ system. I would like motion sensors, door and window sensors. also, do any wired systems provide sms alerts if the alarm is triggered? thanks a lot

Hi, Newbie, but competent DIYer here. I've just added a couple of extra zones to my Gardtec 300, and managed to program them, not the most user friendly input method though. I've managed to lose the bolt/screw that holds the lid/door closed. I've got it taped closed for now, but it's sure to give out at 3 in the morning. Does anyone know the size or type of this bolt? Thanks in advance!

I have a customer who has Paxton Access System and a separate Videofied alarm with Camera Sensor on Front Door. The videofied sensor was added because people are bumping the mag locks and sleeping in the communal hallway after a night in pub. It is a care home so residents quite distressed to find drunk Guy in hallway. Problem is they need access for carers etc in night which is creating false alarms on videofied system. Anyone know how to link videofied system to Paxton so it could be disarmed? Also can it be swarmed on door close?

Has anyone integrated Hik Vision IP cameras using the pyronix app? If so does it work well?

Hi All, i recently purchased my first first house and the burglar alarm is not working. It’s a Veritas 8c control panel with 7 PIR motion sensors and a few door contacts and an outside alarm and light box. Something on the panel seems to have blown, there are black burn marks on the inside of the casing. Now my dilemma is to just buy a replacement panel (same model) and wire that in and let it be.. or upgrade the panel and eventually upgrade the sensors over time. if I was to upgrade, I would like something fairly modern, maybe that I can control from my phone or receive notifications on when it goes off. Home automation wo…

Hi Im just upgrading an old system with lots of shock contacts on the system and replacing with a euro 46 app panel having trouble with panel saying input/area mismatch, 1st time using the panel and looking through the manual cant see any reference to this, also im doubling up on zones 2 shocks at most as wiring is looped in areas so no other choice its a while since i used resistors should it be 4k7 at 1st contact then 4k7 2k2 at end contact

hello I have the above alarm all working fine except for the doorbell which is the Exit Terminate button in day mode. it’s says in the user manual, quote:Turning the Chime On/OffYour system may be programmed so that a chime tone sounds whenever certain doors are opened while the system is unset. If your system has an Exit Terminate button, then it will act as a door bell while Chime is on. To turn Chime on or off:1. Key in your access code. The display shows "_ _ "2. Press 7 followed by y (Clear).I have tried this and it doesn’t work, is there a programming feature in E mode that I’m missing?...I’ve just re set the whole system in E mode and added the chime function to zo…

as titled what's the diff between using a 24v ac or 12v dc on locks and cams?
