Hello everyone,
I've been reading you fantastic site, and hope you can also help me, I'm looking for a new alarm.....
Current Setup
I've just moved into a house with an old alarm. From what I've been told my current alarm has two parts...
Wired - About 15 window sensors are wired through to a mains connected Gartec 800 alarm panel, the external bell is also connected back to here.
Wireless - 3 wireless PIRs, and a wireless keypad are connected through to a mains ADT Honeywell Dominial alarm. This in turn connects back to the Gartec, and also links to a phone line.
Requirements
Given the age of the setup I've decided to replace, I would like to install the new alarm myself but I do have an electrician on hand who will assist with any mains/external work. My requirements are as follows...
Wireless alarm
Support for 6 wireless PIRs,
Alarm will be used by 2 people
Don't have any pets
Require 1 front door connector
I would like IP connectivity and maybe later on GSM connectivity.
I don't think I would want a separate keypad on the wall as I understand this would have to be wired to the mains or back to the panel. I want to have the least wires as possible.
Regarding day to day operation.
Entering the house - I take it once we enter the house we use some remote control to press a key to disarm. As the control panel will be located upstairs it will be too far away to get to hence the need for a remote device.
Exiting the house - I'm assuming when we leave the house we will use the same remote control to arm.
That's it. hope I've covered it all....btw I'm assuming the existing Wireless PIRs that I have will not be able to connect to the new system.
So can you recommend a decent alarm fro me please.....and thanks in advance for any assistance , I look forward to your recommendations.
