Matthew Gregson Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hiya Guys. We've had a spate of burglaries in the area in the past few weeks and even though I have a 6 camera cctv setup I thought it best to also fit an Alarm. As a gadget freak I was ready to push the button on an Agility3 but then I stumbled across this forum So I'm here to ask for help navigating the minefield. I need a wife friendly system that I can arm/disarm via an app and also record CCTV in the event of a trigger. Ideally wireless....We've just renovated and dont want any wires on show (Actually if were quick we could go wired downstairs but time is running out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy™ Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 texecom elite can be controlled via an app. it needs a cable between panel & RKP but everything else can be wired or wireless. i tend to use a mixture of wired where possible and wireless when not practical to wire for CCTV, probably best keep the system separate on continuous record, at least it would catch any activity before the alarm was triggered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could explain why but how long have you got? DIY wise Texe Pyronix or Visonic all have their good and bad points, non DIY HKC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy HKC on Ebay but only the Irish version, or second hand stuff. HKC wont support DIY, and setting up app is only available to customers with a trade set up login on the secure website.

Matthew Gregson Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Thanks Guys.. The Agility "Looks" the nicest....But the Alarm guy has just been and even though they advertise on their homepage with an offer he recommended the Texecom Ricochet. He said he has the Texecom and his Daughter has the Agility and she would rather have his........ He going to email me the quote asap. So I have time to do more research Etc.
