Guest matt80 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hi, I want a simple intruder alarm installed, and I've had a quote for £350 to supply and install a Pyronix Paragon. I've found a few posts dotted around that really seem to slate Pyronix. I simply want a relatively cheap alarm system that can set upstairs and downstairs separately. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to security system - can anyone tell me whats so bad about Pyronix? Does anyone have anything good to say about this model or should I really steer clear of this? Thanks, Matt Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/6030-request-for-advice/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RICHL Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 To be honest I didnt even know it was still made! Basically there are better quality panels about than them anyway so if your man is quoting for a Paragon then I suspect he's not too up to date, or particularly professional. Try getting a couple more quotes. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/6030-request-for-advice/#findComment-51529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_Dave Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I would look elsewhere to be honest. Pyronix panels are ok but i would be wary of some selling a paragon as they are not made anymore. Get three quotes for installers in the yellow pages and get back to us. Or post your location and someone might be able to help you . Dave Oxendale York based security systems engineer.

Guest matt80 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Can anyone shed some light as to what is bad about these panels? As far as I can see, if you can set it and unset it, and it makes a noise when a burglar comes in, its fine. What am I not considering? ) Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/6030-request-for-advice/#findComment-52157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_Dave Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Matt i personally dont dislike the paragon but it does have its flaws. 1) All in sundry used to be able to get them from car boots. 2) As soon there is a voltage spike they crash and go into full alarm for 8 hours. 3) Every burglar who knows his worth can crash one to default and rob your house. I will write another post when i can think of some positives from the user point of view. Dave Oxendale York based security systems engineer.
