Thanks
for this guys, looks like the kinda thing I'm after.
One
thing I'm not sure on is the wired bit:
Is it
one wired sensor or one wired ZONE?
If
zone then gr8, as all downstairs PIRs (which I have put in the wires for)
can be
one zone.
I'm
still in two minds about alarming upstairs and/or adding door/window
contacts.
After
all, why break in @ 1st floor level when it would be far less obvious @
ground
level.
Similarly, any competent theif is going to spot door contacts &
work
around them, any 'chancer' will probably just smash their way in, so the
PIR
would get them anyway....
The
review of this product is quite positive. The main problem I had b4
(apart
>from
car alarms or something down the road. Certainly no-one else had the
same
system I did......
Oh
yeah, one final question:
I
had
a loan of a ladder ages ago, so I wired in a siren attached to the outside
wall
I
have
no idea of what wires I used -how can I tell without a) getting a ladder
again
& physically inspecting it, or b) damaging either the siren, or
myself?
:)
cheers,
Tony

Tony,
Visonic do the Powermax which has 1 wired,
and 29 wireless zones,
and has X10 capability (upto 8 controls I
think)

officially
I'd recommend you get an engineer to install, although
I know one person
on this list has bought this alarm through
Gardiner Security stores and
self-installed it.
Hope that helps.

Thoughts
Guys,
I'm looking for some advice here.
My
house isn't yet alarmed - though for all the burglars out there, it
most
definitely _is_, and we have a BIG DOG TOO!), so I'm looking into
the
various options.
I had a bog standard wireless system at my last
pad, but wasn't that
impressed with it, so have had all wiring put in
for
an alarm here, just not
got alarm yet.
All wiring, that is,
except
for a remote keypad - doh!
So I'm looking for something wired,
but
perhaps with a wireless remote, as
main panel will be @ node 0 under the
stairs - not exactly SWMBO-friendly
for arming/disarming :)
I've
just gotten into X10 (have some bits, but no definite use for them
yet.
SWMBO cracked up when I used a keyfob remote to turn on a desk
lamp,
with my
hand on'y inches from the actual lamp switch :-)) and see that,
if I was
happy with wireless again, I could get a PIR, horn etc &
have an X10 alarm.
But then I'm looking @ Comfort & that's the
'ultimate home control system'
that does your alarm etc etc etc
So is
home vision
so is home seer.
You see my problem - too many things
on the market claiming to solve all my
problems....
so.....anyone
got any thoughts on a relatively entry level alarm system,
preferably
wired, X10 would be nice, expandable in the future a must.
I don't
really
want mail boxes, auto dialling, robo dogs etc as current
property
doesn't
warrant that (and nosey neighbours make gr8 guard dogs),
just want
something practical and extensible.
I have already established that
you cannot just dip your toes into the X10
waters, as I discovered when
I
could no longer operate my overhead light
with the on/off switch once
I'd
installed socket rocket.
SWMBO was _very_ happy with that - not :-) -
but
I don't want to start down
one 'ultimate solution' path and find I reach
a dead end......
Oh, and cheap would be good too!!!
Maybe I
should just get a standard wired alarm.....any
ideas?
cheers,
Tony
