Hillbilly Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I have been a Risco installer until the past year where we moved to Orisec. just to see if any installers have moved and why to another panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Not really much to move to these days, bet any moving these days would be circular! e.g. used to use Texe ten years ago, tried Pyronix, moved back to Texe, etc... What made you ditch Risco, although it has a bad rep I guess it is technically stable, just a bit esoteric?

Hillbilly Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Tbh I have just applied for trade side and although been on here for the past 15 years just saw you need to make 5 posts lol. Anyway installed Risco for 18 years through my apprenticeship and the 350 to 800 panels were good hardwired kit. The 595/600/601 kit were decent then Agility/ lightsys brought out.... don’t get me wrong they are decent panels but why make it so complicated for the users to use? plus the engineer programme is nonesense! So the pyronix rep came round and I liked the enforcer. Have quite a few installed and it’s a decent panel only for call outs to the bell tamper switch going faulty! I wanted to use Texecom but they are 3rd party distribution up here so it’s Orisec and it’s the best manufacturers I’ve worked with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 No logon I think the castle panels were good. We stopped using them circa 2000 due to huge reliability issues but the theory of the panel was fantastic. There was so much to like about it but that was 20 years ago now.

james.wilson Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 It might be your favorite panel but if you had a 'proper' panel you may think differently. My issue is you advise people to get an x when all you know is x. Like I've said Imo spc is the most flexible panel I've worked with, gal 520 close, menvier 2500 was a powerhouse, big premiers are too. Windsors I liked but hard to program supporting over the phone, hkc has unbeatable wireless Imo etc etc. If all I knew about motorsport was lawnmowers racing I'd probably recommend husqvana as better than a Merc or a redbull.

(Its what our local alarm company used to install) most of the panels you mention require a computer to program the panel with a app like wintex for texecom premiere panels. Im used to basic program using keypad panels the only thing which requires a pc on premier is the editing of the sia codes Edited January 3, 2020 by MrHappy Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 You don't need Wintex to program a Premier. In fact I can't think of any intruder you can't do from the keypad somehow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Spc requires laptop for the cause and effect bits or the complex access control Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

sixwheeledbeast Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Most modern panels have an access control type feature, maybe alright for the odd door but generally you would use a separate system you have redundancy then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datadiffusion Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 TBF you'd REALLY struggle with a lot of SPC without the web browser or serial/USB PC interface, I remember trying to make a few comms changes via the keypad and giving up, getting the laptop out...
