Hillbilly Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Just a question to see if anyone is using Orisec for their controls etc and do you rate their equipment? Anyone using their new wireless range and would you rate it better than Risco equipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dufjax Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Bells and PIR's seem good, not overly lovein' the panels, the RF stuff wasn't ready when we last tried the panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSE Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Connie visited here last week to demo their radio gear. It looks and seems to work really well I love the idea of a single radio expander that will do the capacity of the panel, regardless of 25 or 100 zones and the use of powered range boosters The micro radio contacts are the smallest I've seen yet and the shocks are well built, but do use PCB antenna's Their external sounders are great anyway, We have had such good feedback on the look of them and the wireless is just as good with local 12v power option Even better that you can field flash any of their kit directly from the control panel, although this is by their data bus "I've not done tried this" Gone are the days of binning the expanders because of extinct firmware, Even better telling the customer their less than 12 month system is obsolete.

Willie Marr Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Ordered kit today. With their bells you don't have to order a minimum amount of bell lids as they are done on order. All panels, pir's etc will have company name on them and 1-2 days lead time. Really helpfull on the phone. Asked if the panel I ordered will use wireless in the future and will update firmware before shipment to add their wireless expander etc. Will have a play. Used Risco for 15 years so hopefully see an up to date equipment etc. Edited September 4, 2017 by Willie Marr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aessec Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 We started off with the sounders which are really great and had been waiting after testing first panel for radio kit which is now released, so waiting for first order to arrive so I can install at home, A1 service, pity spent so much time on radio as they don't currently have an APP, so if you Need it, have to install CSL or WeyWay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was involved in the beta testing of the 25 and 50 zone panels, radio devices, including sensors, bells, zone expanders, upload/download software and then the andriod app, I've been using them for all my new and change overs, for nearly a year now, I've had no issues so far, Technical support very good.

Risco is good, but i think Orisec will take over the UK market very soon. Customer Service ^ Technical Service are Very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Considering the hype around the stuff for the last few years, I have never seen a system in the wild. Or know of any companies fitting the controls as standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSE Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 We installed a small amount with a view to monitoring their performance. The panels are a total piece of piss to program, the wireless is idiot proof. However there appears to be gripes within the panel firmware/software. It’s a real shame considering, customers loved it for the ease of use, I liked the total simplicity of it, but being called back to 12 out of 15 systems isn’t good at all. To to be fair, Orisec have jumped all over the issues and offered replacements and free kit as compensation, but it’s not about the free kit.. we just want Fit and forget, until service due that is. I have explained this to them and made my position clear, I’ve made the decision to pull the panels, we will continue fully with detectors and sounders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSE Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Bells appear to be unstable and disappear offline when wired on network mode. Smartphone app is hit and miss, reporting unknown panel when connecting. Wireless panel CP40, losing volume level All issues occur after about a month or so, there are a few other small niggles that I’ve got noted, nothing major but still pain in the ****. like I said, I like the company, like the products, as do the customers. I’ve visited the factory and had a full tour, they’re a great bunch up there BUT Something isn’t right. The issues were getting are causing headache and financial loss.

Amps Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I suspect Orisec will be looking to sell-up as soon as they get a decent share of the market. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if the sold to Texecom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matrix Security Brig Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 We moved from installing Honeywell Galaxy panels to Orisec alarm systems six months ago. We are very satisfied with this alarm system very easy to use and install, customers love the touch screen keypad. at first the programming menu is not very easy to follow by the installing engineers however they have an excellent and very helpful technical department. So far 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awsecure Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 UDL seems very easy top setup. Full of features other system don't offer. Great tech support. I just think the build quality is a little bit poor compared to other brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalaxyGuy Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 What's the security like on Orisec as far as Ethernet, app and alarm reporting goes ? Looking through the manuals, the word 'encryption' is never mentioned. Anyone have any info ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
