I am installing an alarm in my garden office, it does not need many zones but I want to be able to install customise it myself.
My wish list....
Separate keypad (without front flap would be nice)
PIR's that I can rely on no false alarms
Phone dialler / text to inform me of alarm status
Connection over the internet would have been nice to set and check the alarm, however not willing to pay more than £80 for that extra so probably not going to happen.
I am running 8 core alarm cable to various parts of the building now.
Can I have 2 PIR/microwave in the same room or will they upset each other?
I was going to install a mains smoke and heat detector in different rooms, am I better keeping this separate from the alarm panel or wiring them back to the pane or dialler?
The Texecom units look popular on here, any advise?
Sorry this is all a bit vague, but if I knew what I wanted then I would not have to post the question....
