Alarm Upgrade

[mac8985]

Hi

 

I'd be grateful for any advice from anyone with system upgrade knowledge/experience. 

 

I have an installed ADE Optima Compact that is around 24yrs old and needs replacing.  I do not want to go down the wireless route but I'm not sure if I'm restricted in alarm system choice that I could upgrade to using all the current original wiring??

 

I would also like to add an additional key pad at the back door without running an additional wire, I have read some hardwired systems also have wi-fi functionality, is this possible??

 

Any system recommendations to upgrade to?? 

 

Thanks

Your going to DIY it?

 

Scantronics ion 40 if that's the case 

 

 

If not then hkc and others will say texecom? 

 

You said no to wireless then said WiFi keypad , so you mean yes to wireless where needed , most panels these days will offer hybrid options
