Mjtee Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hi all, I am the (not so proud) owner and end user of a Pyronix Paragon Plus alarm system, 20 years old , I guess. We have barely used it due to its panel location being awkward to get to. On holiday recently we used an alarm system that had remote handsets that were a breeze to operate. Can I upgrade to a new panel with this functionality? Thanks Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/41712-mike/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJames Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Why not look at a system that works with an app on your phone, far better than a handheld button system Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/41712-mike/#findComment-470979 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not impossible to hack but I am not so certain it would be so easy, you would need to know what alarm panel someone has for starters. With cars you know what brand already.

Mjtee Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 Thank you for a bundle of answers. I'm up in Central Scotland so I'll get looking for installers for a quote. Is there some way of checking that companies or self employed installers have the right qualifications / or accreditation / code of conduct etc. I have unearthed the Installation documents with default codes for master user and engineer. I'm wary of the alarm going off and not being able to silence it. It is currently showing a fault led after I turned the power off to do some lighting work. That is probably the battery not being charged as it hasn't been changed for a while. Thanks again.
