steve_b_wales Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 I'm looking at fitting an alarm at my property, and interested in a wireless one which is not too difficult to fit. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie to this Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) Texecom, they are quite expensive but their ricochet wireless technology is brilliant. Their tech support will also support the end user not just trade. Use their SmartCom wifi unit to connect to the apps and get notifications. In my opinion stay well away from the Yale systems, spend the extra money and buy professional.

We use Texecom all the time at work, and in my opinion their ricochet wireless technology is second to none. Each device you add adds distance to the wireless network because all devices talk to each other.

Fisheruk Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Visonic, works for me. I have had one for 3 Years, just replaced the batteries in the siren box for the first time. Easy to install, program and never misses a beat, Installed two myself with my son in law. Just moving house and purchased the new kit for my new house. £635 all in delivered. It’ll take a couple of hours to install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddoakley Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Depends on your budget. Above is obviously top choice but I bought 100 cheap Yale ones a good number of years ago and I know loads that are still going strong and in ever had any issues with the ones that we fitted. Cheap and cheerful. Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alarm rings me within 20 seconds if activated and I can turn it off by pressing 9 on my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
