Hi everyone, I’m setting up a small office and need advice on choosing a reliable and easy-to-use control panel for basic security needs. We’ll have a few indoor cameras, door sensors, and maybe a small access control system. It’s not a large setup, but I want something secure and user-friendly, especially for staff who aren’t very tech-savvy. I’ve looked into a few options like Texecom and Pyronix, but I’m still unsure what’s best for a small environment. Are there any systems that offer good mobile app support and easy configuration? Also, on a side note, I’ve been learning data visualization to better understand security patterns and found a helpful online. It’s great for analyzing logs and activity trends, so I thought others here might find it useful too. Would love to hear your recommendations on control panels and any lessons learned from similar installs. Thanks in advance!

Hey @monena, It sounds like you're dealing with persistent tamper alerts on your wireless door/window sensors after your renovation. Even though you've replaced the batteries, there are a few other factors that might be causing this issue: Tamper Switch Alignment: Ensure that the tamper switches on the sensors are properly engaged. If the sensor covers aren't seated correctly, the system might interpret this as a tamper condition. Physical Mounting: Check that the sensors are securely mounted. Loose fittings or misaligned magnets can trigger false tamper alerts!! Environmental Factors: Since you've had a renovation, it's possible that environmental changes (like new materials or layouts) are affecting the sensors' performance. For instance, certain materials can interfere with wireless signals, leading to communication issues that the system might interpret as tampering. Sensor Quality: Sometimes, the quality of the sensors themselves can be a factor. If the sensors are older or of lower quality, they might be more prone to false tamper alerts. If you've checked all these and the issue persists, it might be worth consulting with a professional to inspect the system. They can provide a more in-depth analysis and suggest potential replacements if necessary. Hope this helps!

When I replaced the 12V 7Ah battery in my Texecom panel, it took around 24 hours to fully charge. Most panels trickle charge at a low rate, so it’s normal for it to take a while. Just make sure your panel isn’t showing any battery fault after a day or so..if it is, double check the connections or battery health.

Hi all, I’ve got a Visonic PowerMaster 10 panel and after a recent power cut, it’s showing a “system not ready” message and won’t arm. I’ve checked the battery and power supply, and everything seems fine now. Is there a reset process I need to follow or something I might be missing? Cheers!
