Hi Everyone,

I'm not really a novice or DIY'er, i'm an engineer who used to work for Protec on Fire & Security.

Over the last 10 years or so i have specialised just on the Fire side and so i'm a bit out of it on the security side.

So, my question, i have just moved into a new house and its pre wired for an alarm. I previously installed a Menvier TS790 in my old home and it served me well for a lot of years. I wanted to use another Menvier in the new house and was going to get a M800 until i saw a few bad reports on them.

What would you guys recommend for a new panel with the same kind of spec as a TS790?

My needs:-

LCD text keypads, 2 possibly 3.

Minimum 6 zones, with some expansion.

Simple part set operation, i.e Set A, Set B, etc.

Also what do you all recomend as a reasonable middle of the road PIR?

Many thanks for any help offered, oh and Merry Christmas.

Texecom premier would suit your needs, or fit a Galaxy if you plan on working on intruder as it's the main stream for a lot of big players.

Detection wise you can't really go far wrong with Optex, Texecom and Honeywell

As above really, Prem 24 or 48,Tex devices are pretty good imho as well.

If your used to Meniver, the Texecom control equipment will be easiest.

Better with a P48 tho.

Detection wise prefer Optex IMO

Gents,

Thanks for the input. Its funny you recomend the Texecom, i had done a little research and they seemed to get good reviews.

Out of interest, what reasons drive you towards the premier as opposed to the veritas?

veritas is more "no coms domestic panel"

Gardtec 600 with digisense quads. Has wireless expansion, vo comm and digi built in.

Good panel imo!
