ourgavs Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I would recommend the Visonic Powermax, very easy to install and easy to navigate the menu system. The powermax also comes as a quick fit kit with the detectors already learnt onto the system. Great coverage too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanfox Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 I am looking at Visonic Powermax. Should i wire the external sounder or use the wireless sounder that runs power on the battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Wired sounder should be way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, bad is not really a word I would use, lets put this into prospective. There are certain vulnerabilities to one way wireless, but with all security systems the total risk should be considered. If your property is likely to be of interest to professional burglars then this type of system would not be suitable. But I suspect if you had this sort of risk you would not be DIYing and certainly would not be asking questions about security on a public forum. Assuming that you just want to deter the local druggies/opportunist that would not have the first clue about security systems or their vulnerabilities then the powermax would be suitable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 +1, it's all about the level of risk you wish to address. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Disagree that one way is poor only because of risk. Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you still use a pressure mat or a pir? Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
