Thanks for the interesting review on that, I will keep this in mind. 

My initial idea is to set up the system to play with, to see how 'difficult' is to be a security engineer. Hopefully, any system will be just fine for that?

Also, this is the main reason why it must be as cheap as possible. 

 

Start with a scantronic 9651 / texecom veritas r8 / honeywell G4

do you have a fear of heights?

 

why not get a job in an industry which put little plastic boxes up using triple ladders...

I don't mind of heights, I have previous experience with many things relating to heights., also with IT and AV, and electrics, and component electronics, and many other technologies and I know the industry I know many things, but never worked full time and I haven't done box configuration, so I need to get some practice on this, maybe I will guard my shed and need to find problems to work on, and get comfortable. As otherwise, I have to start as an apprentice but I don't want to. It would be ok for just start but I wouldn't wait a year until my wages reviewed.

Thank you very much, this is what I was looking for, to know where I need to get hands-on.

Veritas will be difficult even the electrician's can't do them fully

Do I understand it right that Honeywell 9651 is a Scantronic model? And it is discontinued as it not really appear in official Honeywell UK website search? 

Also G4 is more as generation 4 of some of the models instead as just one model? Like Optima and Accenta? 

Cheers.

Honeywell G4

Scantronic 9651

Honeywell G2

bear in mind the honeywell galaxy g2 is a grade 2 (std wise) part

honeywell optima gen4 is grade 1 (in fact it may be 4737 id have to look)

honeywell dimension is Grade 3

Flex is both G2 and G3 depending on model and config

I guess the next step for me is to find out what grades is and what is for. Something else should I look for that relates or maybe not related but goes hand in hand? Thank you.

 

Yes you need to risk assess the site regarding what grade system the site needs, but many people just go 'grade 2 that will do'

 

Grade 2 is cheaper than grade 3

Grade 2 easier to do than grade 3
