sixwheeledbeast Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Well all the Texecom Premier stuff is hybrid so supports wired and wireless anything, if that helps. I would have thought Pyronix would be cheaper but I suppose it's depends if you get what you want from a Texe kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDinMK Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Well i might be If you know where to go I was thinking this kit here Texecom Ricochet Kit 2 32 Zone Wireless Kit with Sounder adding 2 x Texecom Premier Compact Wireless Pet Detector [PW-W] 3 x Texecom GHA-0001 Micro Contact-W White 868Mhz 1 x Texecom Ricochet DP-W Personal Panic Attack button you are right it does start racking up I am hoping this kit will have an inbuild dialer or app or something for alerts ...not much info also confused about the sounder ...its Wireless although some sites suggest it can be wired by arsing about with a "22k resistor" or something Its never easy ! Would pyronix save me £££? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDinMK Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 not sure what phones u have Norman ...but I am 52 not into these smart jobbies ...just get a nice cheapy that wont break my heart if i drop it off a ladder ! So you think the above is "ok" on price ? or do u think i woul dbe better with a Pyronix ... not sure exactly how the alerts work on both of them ...doesnt look like the old "diallers" they used to have i am guessing? Also I dont want to be lumbered with a wireless box ...I looked about and someone said they do one that can be "wired" as a workaround why dont they bloody still STOCK wired boxes ..I mean how hard can it be to have some terminals Where this box is going i dont want to be arsing about ...I mean tamper wont be necessary as you would need to Spidermans climbing coach to get to it !

datadiffusion Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 On the average UK house (what is it, 250k now?) I have literally no idea why anyone would think anything under a grand was 'too dear'. As norm says, it's a fraction of the house value and peanuts compared to all the frivolous (and ironically desirable to burglar) stuff most people hapilly fritter their hard earned cash on. Most, not all, agreed, for various reasons.

The main thing I chose to protect is the family, having said that I guess the plus side of any break in would be the knowledge I'd saved a few hunred squid...
