Dre Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Pretty simple really...I've narrowed down my choice to the following kit - Texecom Premier Elite 48 Wireless Expander 7 Dual PIRs 4 Impaq Shock/Contacts GSM Module ComWIFI Bell Box Difference in costs between a wired vs wireless is that the wired in about £400 cheaper. I a veering to wired because im not sure on wireless reliability, cost is not the factor here. However when I look on the texecom site its heavilly investing on the Ricochet tech & wireless. So should I stick with Wired or go down the wireless route? and if wireless - why? Thanks Gents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Personally I would always wire if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyn6mite66 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I like them both on the Texecom, if you go wireless i always try to get at least the SAS wired, its generally the thing that causes most hassle, certainly has been temperamental on Texecom.

Shane89 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 In my experience the texecom wireless stuff is very reliable, the only thing that has been a bit buggy or tricky is the smartcom, which you would be using for app access on the wired system also. For overall ease I would go wireless and have it finished in half a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Depends on the job and the windows. End game is the customer is protected and happy with the system. Done a good few hybrid with shocks wireless and everything else wired. Many think your going to rip there house apart to get cables in and most times there is no need.

You think the wireless sensors are better than wired shock? Taking into consideration the wireless shock can be adjusted on software side ?

sixwheeledbeast Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 No. You need to be in front of the device to test during setup or adjustment. Remote adjustment offers nothing here IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
