Thanks for the detailed response Peter. I was looking at Texecom and Veritas as well as Boundary. More research required I think. ?

Hi Folks Thanks for the feedback. I seemed to have provoked a reaction and assumptions that I have decided to install the system myself. That is not the case. If I went into a car showroom to buy a car I will list the things I want. I’m pretty sure the sales man would t expect me to build it. Joking aside my bad for not explicitly saying that I’m not going to install it. I’m at the research stage. Some questions I have: 1) Is wired better / more secure than wireless? 2) What are the benefits of a traditional system over a smart / DIY system such as boundary? My research to date is pointing me to the criteria I’ve listed above but what I have also found, in my opinion, is that there is still a gap between traditional systems and smart systems. For example it seems traditional systems don’t support smart hubs/IFTTT etc. Anyhow, I’d appreciate feedback to help me form an opinion on what I need to move forward. Note, I may also speak face to face with a number of installers to get a general consensus on what will meet my needs but I’d prefer not to at this stage.

Hi all I’ve just built a new home and installed alarm cable to the following areas: - motion sensors in room - internal bell - external siren - keypad x2 All cable is running back to a comms room on the ground floor. I’d also like window and door sensors which would have to be wireless so I’d need a hybrid system. Could you please advise which system would meet my requirements? Criteria as follows: - grade 2 system (all components) - smartphone app - integrated with IFTTT (or Samsung smart things) - is very reliable - has the ability to extend into my garage wirelessly which is about 10 metres away - ability to integrate hikvision cctv with events ie hikvision camera motion detection kicks off alarm - ability to integrate beam sensors I’ve heard that some systems have false alarms a lot so don’t want that. Anyhow, grateful for your help. R
