Personaly find new builds easiest to wire. not taking the p, but maybe ask experienced eng to help?

I'd agree with you there - but this house is tiny and the floor boards are enormous - the walls have been added on top afterwards to they won't come up without cutting - and the lady owner is very much against having any boards up - the property is empty there are no carpets down yet.

Still need keypad to get system info.

Presumably the keypad can be hidden away with the main box - there's no need for it even to be visible is there?

Customer doesn't want a panel in the hall.

Look at scanny I-on kit from ADI, new detectors are great if you doing hybrid (the 40) too, as wired/wireless both look same.

I've had some Visonic pricing from ADI today, seems reasonable, their installer pack will give everything I need so I'll probably just go with that - if I win the business - price is a factor here and I have a feeling she'll probably end up with a cheap diy system installed by her brother or something.

I'll have a look at the Scantronic kit aswell.

As far as I'm concerned I want a decent quality system, for me the cost of the hardware isn't the driving force, quality of kit and reliability is.

price is a factor here

leave it to her brother to answer the calls @ 03:00 then.

have to agree, wireless is taking the easy option not necesserly (sic) the correct one.
