Specialist Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Because I don't have a thing about upgrading just for the sake of it, an ADE Optima is a perfectly adequate panel for a lot of small domestic properties. Simple to install and easy to use, they work out well for a lot of people. Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us.

datadiffusion Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 All LED panels are fine until something goes wrong at 3am, then you'll have no clue what is happening, worse if you're a DIYer. Absolutely mad to even consider one given the price of any half decent LCD panel. 1 So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43095-ade-optima-compact/page/2/#findComment-488483 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I see no issue with LED panels, in fact for a DIYer they are more likely to come with basic instructions and have success at a working system. Saying that I personally wouldn't fit one any more for the extra cost it's worth it for "full panel" features, like EOL or a decent sized event log. 1 Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43095-ade-optima-compact/page/2/#findComment-488492 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed: The reason for suggesting the same panel was for the ease of a DIY swap out and as you so rightly point out the strongest possibility of a first time fix.

james.wilson Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I like the optima accenta etc. Not a high end panel obviously but perfect for the little things. I'd install them if they were grade 2 securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
