Kangaroo Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Hi, I am looking to replace an existing system, however I want to keep using the existing 6 x Wired PIRs. Upgrade: Control box a key entry panel have an smart app to arm when away from house (Without paying a subscription etc) add WIFI PIRs at some point. New Siren Boxes. Current cable is 6core An system that updates itself for software or alternatively I can download without any issues or needing to be a company. All ideas welcome. Thanks RK Edited February 23, 2021 by Kangaroo Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/44391-what-system/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Limiting your options if you want app with no subscription and auto update firmware, I'd start researching manufacturers from there.

Kangaroo Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Thanks sixwheeledbeast. I know I might be pushing it but I felt it was worth a try. At the very least no subscription for the use of the app? Any ideas?

GalaxyGuy Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 2 minutes ago, al-yeti said: Pyronix? Yale? Who else is free app? The Honeywell Galaxy Flex gives all this. Honeywell provide the flash upgrade program and firmware on their website without any login account requirement too. The app and push notification is free and there are low cost alternatives in the event that Honeywell do start charging. Look out for other offerings that integrate cloud services tightly with the panel, as they may not charge at the moment, but you could find yourself held over a barrel in the future. 1 Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/44391-what-system/#findComment-508864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
