I never used it, I saw the demo of it and that was enough, That muppet Norton tried to tell me how the antenna works on the panel,
How superior their antenna system was compared to other manufacturers... He was totally talking out of his at$se at the time,

 

He showed me the demo kit, powered it all up and it was utter dog *****.
Wireless range was worse than poor, the newer keypads look like they belong in toysRus.... The kit is toss imo

So you like the orisec keypads yeah?

 

Come on be serious it's not a bad panel , not many firmware issues like texe eh

 

But hkc is better....

 

Although I still working on hkc to convince myself to remove my gd48 at home , wired it's hardcore

I am being serious, I speak as I find. IMO its bin tat. Were not refuse to use Orisec panels, I've said previously that they need a lot of work

Their keypad plastics are fine, detector plastics and lenses are rock solid, BUT the keypad displays are far too cluttered and the text display quality looks naff

I guess its each to their own,  As someone once said to me,....  You can put lipstick on a pig,... But its still a pig

 

I’m not keen on the ion stuff, I will inherit it but not sell it for sure, but there is far worse kit out there to be honest.

did you rate the early scanny kit?

@PSE

I've still got a fair bit of the older scanny stuff out there that's still going strong. Didn't really have much go wrong with it back then

I quite like some of the relics, (98 tick) what a great idea! But seem to have stood the test of time, never really liked Ion from the launch, loads of things missing that we wanted (zones on RKP for swap outs, code lock timers ect)

 

we had the demo and it was a disaster, but the old boss made us fit some small domestics with it.i

98 tick ... the moment the apprentice thinks he's put it in walk test and you realise your going to be on site longer than you expect.

Lol, many a time, even by good engineers

Don’t use them unless I have too, but we had a big site with zones off RKP so the Ion was a non starter at that time, as the existing TS2500 had code lock timers in use as well :-(

Yes, they have sorted the zones on keypad thing now - totally agree it should have been there from the start.
