TechElec Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Hi all I'd like to say hello. Been installing intruder systems for approx 3 years now. Some access control and fire testing as well. Came across this forum when trying to do a google search about the benefits of using PIRs with microwave technology built in, such as Texecom's dual techs. Hope to learn and share experiences!

Depends on the environment, sometimes a quad is much better than a DT. Should only really use DT's in hostile areas like garages and warehouses, I wouldn't put one in my front room.

I agree it's over simplified to say a DT will have less false alarms than a PIR. You need to know how they work and fit to the environment. But experienced people in the trade understand this.
