hpotter Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 After some further read, seems like the Scantronic 9751EN is the equivalent of the Galaxy G2-20And: 1-That it requires a Wireless module as an optional extra. 2- That it does not send SMS, but requires an additional advanced speechdialer to do that. So it is not impossible to get the Scantronic to do the Galaxy tricks, it just needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I have now two quotes: 1-From a local NSI Gold installer: G2-20 panel + MK7 keypad with prox & 5 fobs + 3 PIRs + 2 door contacts + External sounder + Internal sounder + decoy For Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 id go for the gal. If you want voice as well as text then you will need to add a voice dialler to the gal however if your looking at monitoring then a voice dialler will probablly cause you issues (ie you will be on the phone to your dialler as the arc call you or try to, and they would have to move to the next keyholder. But as we have said before its not just about the equipment, you caould have the best equipment installe dbadly and you will have a bad system, much less an untidy one. Also you can installer lesser equipment well that would give a better system overall. Obviously you want the best equipment installed correctly. So dont make the decision purly on equipment and price. Who will give a better system overall? Thats what you need to be asking. Both panels (and you have only listed panel brands nothing else) are high quality units, but I am a Galaxy Fan.

hpotter Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 But would welcome your thoughts on these quotes though. I know the 2nd quote is much more, but I think it's because they had to add the SD2 at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Reckon you answered your own question then. I kind of have yes. Going for the Galaxy with the 1st quote from the NSI gold supplier, as I discovered today the 12 months plan is a 0% plan; so can spread the cost over 12 months.

9651 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Good choice imo We used to fit a lot of Scanny 9751's, but then after having a lot of glitches with the cheaper 9651, and the Menvier range for larger installs we moved to Galaxy and have not looked back. Having seen and worked on both panels extensively the G2-20 is way ahead in build quality. I have fitted well over 100 smaller 2-20/2-44 and never had a panel issue. Cant say that for Scantronic....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant say that for Scantronic....... Funny we use both Cooper panels ( Scanny and Menvier, same company now) and Galaxy. Some have glitched some not in no particular order. Same as a new car some have faults some not. Lets go onto another panel shall we and really try to post more //.B.W.F.// about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, the early 9651's had random tampers after ccts 4 onwards if using fsl...... Cooper denied it, then we got some 'modified' eproms to swap in glitching panels. I lost could the amount of M750s' M800's we had with no heartbeat, glitching E/E tones...., random masking/tamper faults caused by the plug on connectors.... Granted this is going back to the start of when the graded panels were released. Fingers well and truely burned, lost all confidence in thier product..... Had to be ditched. Was a shame as the TS range is/was brilliant, really rate the 2500, awesome bit of kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
