I forgot to say my dog has never tripped mine but the detectors see me fine. Its not a question of budget, these detectors are expensive compared to standard pir's. I prefer to use motion detectors for aesthetics, who wants wires on every window and door? you could use wireless siesmics I suppose.

Agreed but perimeter protection would be better with, or without pets. However, its much harder to put siesmic detectors on every window and door, without having wires everywhere. I know that you have never been a fan of pet tolerant motion sensors, I used to be very sceptical, but I was very impressed with the bluelines when they first came out, and have never looked back, they just work. A siesmic detector to the wind frame.

I would go with the Hik ANPR cams, I can get Chinese ones but you wont save much and it wont work with a Hik DVR

I forgot they tried to be clever and called them tri techs they are the ones, follow the instructions they will be absolutely fine. I had a big dog jumping around on a bed to get snacks I had thrown on there. They are the best pet tolerant detector available They are fine so long as you install them correctly, the animal must not be able to get within six foot of the detector, dont point them at stairs, I have hundred of them out there with no problems at all

Bosch Blueline dual techs read the instructions and youll be fine

Ive still got one left if you want it !

Gus, although the Lightsys probably wouldn't be top of my choices neither would the Texecom to be fair. The companies you have invited to quote are obviously comfortable with the product they have specified, you need to be comfortable with the installer. Many here will have their own opinions with regards the two different systems, fact is both are big brands in this industry and some installers get on better with one brand over another. When I was an engineer I quite liked the Abacus panel and the Castle 2000 series, I hated Menvier panels, and Scantronic 9500 all manufacturers have their own ideas on programming and protocols, and it is entirely down to what you're used to programming as an engineer. All of those panels were very popular at the time. I really like the Lightsys app it is one of the best apps Ive seen, never seen the Texe app so cannot give a comparison. Choose the better installer would be my advice, they are the ones that will look after you if they made the wrong panel choice.

looks old and it looks a bit oxidised too, what state is the cable in? Link the tamper circuit at the detector end (dont used the detector terminals twist the wires together)

Someone sent me the link I dont read newspapers I like Sky News, BBC News, Euro News, and NHK Oh and Radio 4 of course

Whats a gold installer?

I am quite pleased with mine £45 ea off ebay and they were like new

Correct theyre missing punctuation correct you're miss typed. Dont worry Steve none of my quotes go out like that, which was my point

If you;re already a subbie then you're already working for yourself

Well at least you have done some time as an engineer, many come on here saying that theyve seen a picture of an alarm so now they think theyre an installer. Its not an easy game to get into my advice would be go subbying first off, learn how to spell, and get used to eating cornflakes for dinner.

I meant as a zone expander

Pyronix wireless expander will only work with a pyronix panel

I would agree that its easy to get your fingers burnt buying stuff from China, Ive seen them making stuff that not even Maplins would sell. But not everything that comes out of China is tat, look at the label on your pants I bet it says made in China!

Every man and his dog is buying Ching Ching CCTV where do you think Hik and Dahua are from

grrr!

hmpphhh just because I like to be green! Why keep filling land fill up with working stuff

I still have a fair few out there going strong

QFA the Ab is a good panel, and the fault is not the panel

Hi and welcome
