Texecom are very reliable. I've fitted their Veritas R8 panel without
problem. Good helpline for registered installers.

Anyone is able to use an electrical wholesaler, just treat them as a normal
shop, i always recommend Scantronic alarm panels, British made and very
reliable.
I would fit the 500 range wireless, battery life in the detectors in excess
of 24 months, simple to fit and very very stable.
Have a look on this site for one. IIRC it will phone you up so as you
can eavesdrop on what's happening on site and IIRC you can talk back to
them!...

My Scantronic has just failed, lightning I think. The price of a
'modern' scantronic replacement was very high.
Ł70 Texecom Premier 816
Ł187 Scantronic 9751
Is the Scantronic 2.5 times better? And of course this price is just for
starters.

You might look at Comfort. If you _only_ want what you list above,
then it's going to be relatively expensive. However, if any of the
other features it contains such as home-automation, dial-in,
remote control (through dial-in or dial-out, suitably protected of
course and can be configured for anything between limited or full
access per user), answer-phone with separate mailboxes for each user,
X10 (optional extra), etc are of interest, then it's an excellent
package.
However, it's power comes with some inevitable complexity. The
unit comes preprogrammed which will get most installations up and
going quickly, but you will need to write some simple programming
sequences if you wish to customise features which is typical of
home-automation usage and more complex alarm sequencing. If you
are a totally non-computing person, this system isn't for you as
as D.I.Y. task. Professional installation is available, but the
system was designed to be D.I.Y. installable for people with a
technical background.
