  1. 1. What Should I Go For

    • Eurosec CPX
      0
    • Honeywell Galaxy 2
      6
    • Scantronic I-ON
      3
    • Other?
      4

Given those limited choices, i'd say Scantronic, assume you have been quoted for the 30?

Galaxy is good but I have little experience and would argue Scanny more user friendly

in a domestic situation.

A solid panel imho, totally different to the 16 and 40.

I too offer remote assisstance on this panel using webway.

However, I also offer Siemens and dont rule out Texecom, I dont install it

yet but looks good to me.

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

Hi Guys yes its the Scantronic I-ON30ex 10 zone control panel, ill add a few more of the panels I've been quoted for, including a Castle Euro panel ?

Looks like the Galaxy G2 is a popular choice so far

@9651

Oops assumed wired replacement. Agreed 1 way scanny is poor (although I have one site with 20 devices, and, touch wood no issues) hence my interest in Texe ricochet.

OP, what wireless extras did you envisage adding? Just that as 9651 said scanny wireless is not so hot. If it was only wireless panics etc... I would be less concerned.

No issues as you wouldnt know ;)

 

Only joking.

 

Weve got a few sites, just never been a fan of it really, especially when compared to say a G2 running portals. 

 

Never used Texe wireless. I like the idea, just looking on here it seems a bit 'fussy' in its set up.

God how many quotes have you had?? You are only muddying the water by getting more than three quotes

@ datadiffusion - I was hoping to add a smoke alarm and door contacts later down the line when budget permits

@ PeterJames - well my plan was that i'd get a selection of quotes until the same system was quoted a couple of times but every has their own preference so that backfired :-)

Its on webway mind, although ive had to turn jamming and supervision off (joke)

I think a lot of the texe wireless issues on here have been sorted by correct install procedure though?

Id be happy with using scanny smokes on wireless. Self contained anyway with own siren.

LOL sounds like a plan for disaster, I would always recommend you choose the company rather than the panel, whoever you felt answered your questions most professionally, and you were most happy with. Find out if the panel they have proposed is the best one they do, we offer the CPX as a budget and HKC as the premium panel for domestics, sometimes I will talk about both panels at the survey sometimes just the CPX or HKC depending on the risk assessment and type of property, Truth be told all modern alarm panels are good it really depends on the bells and whistles that you may or ,may never use
