Replace Visonic or new system advise please.

[Highpeakrider]

Hi

 

My Visonic powermax pro panel has just expired after years of service.

I'm sure systems have improved over the years.

 

I'm unsure if I should just replace the panel or replace the whole system?

 

Requirements

I'd like remote access either by an iPhone App or web browser.

Wireless is OK but I live in a bungalow so can easily wire PIRs and Alarm box.

4 or 5 PIRs and two door contacts required, would also like smoke detection.

 

Skill level, I'm OK at programming systems, trained as a fitter wireman so OK running cables etc, OK at working on routers to port forward and use DDNS.

I fitted the Visonic without any issues

 

Just not sure overall what would provide the best online connected solution with maybe home automation but that would be a plus point.

Options looked at but not fully understood, Visonic, Pryonix Enforcer, Texecom of some kind.

I'd definitely wire it and get rid, while you could just replace the panel for a Complete its one way wireless and useless if attacked.

Apps are a waste of time IMO.
