Hi,

About ten years ago I had my own business designing and installing intruder systems (i'm a sparky). I appreciate the technology behind systems has changed considerably.

I'm about to put a wired system in my new house and would like a remote panel with LCD display that tells it like it is!

Can anyone reccomend a panel that describes activation zones in plain english (programmable names such as upstairs hall, loft hatch etc.). I'm not fussed whether it is octopus wired or data bus termination system.

Thanks in advance for advice.

Kind Regards

I'll get lampooned for saying this, but the Visonic Powermax+ system has those things, and their new remote keypad replicates everything that the panel does (with voice - English accent).

I can point you in the right direction to talk to someone if that is the sort of system you are after. Let me know what area you are in and I can get one of their account managers to have a word.

I am sure there will be some more suggestions forthcoming if that is not the kind of thing you are after

Actually - just noticed that you are after a wired system, so the above is probably irrelevant. Powermax is wireless.

Oh my goodness, they speak to you now - where have I been in the last 10 years!!!

What does it tell you when it speaks?

i bet it go's "you plonker"

and the bad word filter prevents an acurate reply - especially when you mis-wire it

Thanks FASTCAR,

Not fussed about it speaking, but does sound like a cool feature if available!!!

Also, upon looking at keypads, having keyfob arm & disarm would be handy

The eurosec CP8L looks good but only offers 8 zones, do you know of a similar data-bus termination system? (would like to have detectors on individual circuits/zones - will be using PIRs and vipers)

Eurosec doesnt speak nor any the other panels mentioned as far as I know, (apart from the Powermax )

Yes they all have full english text, but thats not what the chap was asking, unless I missread the quest?
