Guest Mickie D Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 hello i am mickie i am putting an alarm system in for my uncle and we would like the best wired system on the market i am a electrician but also hold a computer networking MCP and also own a busy cable and satellite forum.... and have been re-wireing houses for over 3 years and installing networks for maybe 5 years and have my own business (nothing to do with electrics or cable lol). I take pride in all work i carry out and believe the right way is the best way, i think back in the past i may have installed 4 alarm systems i remember the last one was a accenta and i was not to impressed with the PIRS (motion detectors) and mounting them (this was maybe 1 year ago and i have not had a call out so it must still be fine). i would like the best system the price is no matter and maybe some tips as i know this is more your section guys. also i would like to add pictures of my install when i start after christmas can i post them here ?

Guest Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Well, the Accenta is a panel and has nothing to do with PIRs, other than the fact that they're connected. If you liked the panel, use different detectors. As for the best available, go for a Galaxy, but if you've only possibly ever fitted 4 alarms the Galaxy is a big jump with a steep learning curve. If you do really want the best available then you'd be better of getting someone else in to fit a complete system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mickie D Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Some panels are just bringing in IP modules, namely Texecom, allowing you to control the system via a network although not installed any yet as it really is just coming out as we speak. 35421[/snapback] very interesting i would be interested in this but i could imagine the headache from him if the PC fooks up the alarm system or he does something lol but the rule of thumb is the cheaper the nastier 35421[/snapback] i agree with that 110% i would always recommend the best in anything i install from junction boxes to high power showers you get what you pay for ! can you tell me more about the screwing the ends up you mentioned ? are you refering to the actual main box ? and can i also ask what does RKP mean i have read a few posts with this ? and thank you very much for you quick response Regards Mickie D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 The screwing the ends up would be the actual commisioning and connecting of the panel and devices. The Galaxy is not a DIY panel by any means and a badly If you do decide to do this check with alarm companies first as some won't connect up wiring that you have installed. RKP=Remote Keypad.

Guest Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 You just said you had only installed maybe 4 systems, now you say you've done some serious installs. Which is it?????? I know what you're saying re: confidence and learning, but the Galaxy isn't a DIY panel to learn on. I'm all for you learning how to do it properly, but you need to e a bit more commited to installing them than one every 12 months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is it?????? 35426[/snapback] excuse me but a serious install does not always mean an alarm install i have installed light runs with more logic sitches than i care to remember... i have also installed a complete MP3 server with 8 room locations using cat5 and linking every sound output in the house to each room. just a week ago i installed a multi LNB DISH setup for hotbird and astra in 2 rooms with complete control via dreambox (my own setup but worth a mention ) i have also installed a complete webserver compiling PHP, PERL, mod security, AT firewall, using LINUX and SSH all these i taught myself and i will teach myself how to install a galaxy alarm system aswell if needs be your going to have to relax this is a place for infomation and i came here for help not a judgement on my abilities or charactor and i am not having a go but the over use of ?????? kinda urged me for a reply should i check ebay for a galaxy ?
