Having spent a fair amount of time researching a new alarm install, I have settled on the following setup to secure the exterior of the property as well as outbuilding. - Pyronix Enforcer Control Panel V10 - ENF32UK-WE DIGI-WIFI Wireless Module x1 - KF4-WE Two Way Keyfobs x2 - XDL12TT-WE External Volumetric Detector x2 (one facing the vehicles and one facing the outbuilding entrance door) - OPTEX SL-200TNR 60M Beam Detectors x2 (with Pyronix MC2-WE Wireless Contact x2) - Hikvision Cameras x2 However, before ordering I have a couple of fairly fundamental questions which I still cannot find an answer to, hence turning to you knowledgeable lot ? 1. In order for the Optex beams to connect wirelessly with the Enforcer panel, am I correct in understanding that they will need to be fitted with the Pyronix MC2-WE wireless contacts? Or should I be installing the MC1MINI-WE wireless contacts? Or is there another wireless sensor which I should be purchasing (I have seen mention to the Inovonics EE1216 but unsure how this would communicate with the Pyronix)? 2. What is the difference between the Optex SL-200TNR and the AX-200TFR beams? I understand that they accept different batteries, but is there no other differences? Which is the superior product? 3. Other than an unswitched fused spur, is there anything else I need for the install (any alarm cable, etc)? Or anything which I have over-looked or you could further advise on?

Could you chaps offer suggestions on which Hikvision camera models offer the best quality to price ratio? Specifically; 1. I'm undecided between 8MP and 5MP POE. Is the only concern here on the level of data which needs to be recorded to HDD and whether this is necessary? 2. Are turret cameras definitely the better design to opt for, versus domes which I understand have inferior image quality? 3. Would you recommend the purchase of a separate Hikvision DVR or would my Synology NAS with a WD Purple drive be adequate for capturing video from 3 cameras without bottle-necking the NAS?

I am planning to secure a boundary with external Optex beams and XDL12TT detectors all connected to a Pyronix Enforcer Control Panel V10. I will not be installing an external bell box and merely want to be notified inside or via push notifications. How loud is the Enforcer panel's internal sounder? Is it likely to be loud enough to wake me up/alert me of any triggers whilst being located 10m away in a cupboard? Additionally, is there a secondary buzzer I could connect wirelessly and site internally on the other side of the property?

In regards to installing a pair of external Pyronix XDL12TT detectors, would it be beneficial to purchase the XD-Wall Brackets as well? Or do the detectors have sufficient internal horizontal/vertical adjustment once fixed flat against a wall/fence post?
