RE: [OT] Alarm systems

Hi Ho yin



Have a look at the Scantronic 9651 if it's just a fairly small alarm you're
after. It's a good panel with keypads which have quite big buttons, which
should be beneficial for older people. You'll see the keypads in a lot of
commercial places like retail outlets, being used to control the 9651, 9571
and bigger panels.

The 9651 is limited in that it can't be expanded to cope with more than 8
zones, but that shouldn't matter if it's just for a simple domestic
install.



You can use whatever PIR's and door contacts you want with pretty much any
panel. We use quads and dual-tech's made by Pyronix and Texecom.

Texecom Prestige Detector Series - http://tinyurl.com/l3zuh



We mainly use Texecom Premier alarm panels these days but for your
requirements the Scantronic is probably the best choice.



PS - ref the volume - simply add an internal speaker and set the volume on
the panel so as the ppl inside can hear it enough, or to be really loud,
install an internal sounder and really deafen them!

Not looking for a fully automated system, just something decent and simple
for my parents home.

Can anyone suggest something? Or things I need to look out for?

Someone suggested an ADT system? But my father thinks it is not loud
enough?

Thanks,

Ho yin
