Have to take my hat of to the OP asking for info on the high end equipment. Makes a change.

Obviously you guys are used to big budget system installs.  Mines will be a drop in the ocean by comparison!

Ideally looking for reliability and best bang for buck. 

 

All i see on the forums is pyronix.  Seems to be very popular.  Is this cause its cheap or because its a decent product?

 

So looking at the 2 way wireless systems,  If i remove remote cam capability and some of the higher end of the budget systems , then i am left with

 

Pyronix Enforcer

Visonic PowerMaster

Texecom Richochet

Scantronic I-ON16

Galaxy G2

I-On 16 is very basic, and cannot have firmware upgraded ever.

 

Only the 40 upwards has on board ethernet (the 30 can be upgraded but has no on board ethernet)

 

However, its all academic as Scantronic (at the moment) is 1 way. Avoid unless you only want wireless fobs etc... and everything else is wired.

what about hkc sw1070, hybrid panel, 2 way, everything could be wireless if need be, even bells and keypad. They do both wifi and gsm moduals and a app for a smartphone to set/unset. And not very expensive in my opinion. 

Where can he buy the hkc and all its bits?

Scantronic might be best thing? What's easiest to programme?

Not fussed with the programming.  As long as i have the installers manual, then i should be fine.

 

I'm in IT and generally tech savvy.

 

List whittled down to

 

Pyronix Enforcer

Visonic PowerMaster

Texecom Richochet

Galaxy G2

Would you like to control via an app? If so Texecom is your only real choice. Of not I'd be getting the list to tex or g2

Risco Lightsys would be my choice.

Id reccomend either the Enforcer or G2.

The Dimension and Flex Galaxy series also have an app
