Yep guessed as much. My expertise is CAD software (civil and structural) and I could tell you the software to avoid but once you get to the mainstream stuff it is down to what you want to use it for and personal preference and experiences. Got another quote coming in and phoned another installer who quoted me over the phone suggesting that I shouldn't use PIR type sensors (due to the pets) but shock sensors on windows and doors only. The other installers said not to use the shock sensors as the recent strong winds would have set the alarm off and that the pet friendly sensors will be fine. Hence my confusion ))

Thanks for all the comments so far. So do I ask about a different control,panel and house sensors or is it purely personal preference? Or is it more than likely that the installer will only be using one manufacturer/supplier? Mike

Hi in the age old position of looking to have an alarm installed as some scumbags tried to break into our house last Saturday morning at 4:30 probably to get the car keys to my sporty (!) Skoda. Anyway had a quote from a local SSAIB approved installer and was wondering if anyone could comment on the quality of the kit they are proposing to install? I don't have any problems with the firm just seeing if the equipment they are proposing is good stuff or not. Visonic K9-80 pet tolerant detectors . We have a dog and a cat. Optex OML-DT sensor for the garage Texecom Premier Elite 24 (Polymer) Control Panel Texecom Premier LCDP keypad Any feedback you can give me gratefully received Mike
