Visonic or Texecom Ricochet?

[sparkstu]

Out of the 2 wireless alarm systems which is the better one in people's opinion? I know a wired alarm system would be a better option. Thanks

Visonic is 1-way
Texecom is 2-way

One is cheaper than the other for obvious reasons.

Ricochet every time.....good feature, as the name suggest, the signal can be extended, by re transmitting via other devices upto 4 times, making sure the panel always receives the signal. Panel and software can show signal strength and path device has take to reach the panel.

I've just gone for the texecom ricochet for a rewire I'm doing, as was recommended by Tazz, looks a good bit of kit yet to fit it though!

Have a look at Pyronix Enforcer too.
Oops, too late.

Programming can be scary when you first use it, would suggest programming lead & software....or if you get stuck, a few of us on here can program over the phone network if you have a com2400 installed on the panel. Then when done, you can just change the engineer code

I'll get a read of manual and get back to you lol!

Programming lead?

Programming lead?

Panel comes with software on cd, with a programming lead, you can program the panel via your laptop making it easier and clearer what being done.

I bet either of the fookin things still go off when a spider crawls up the wall and annoys the neighbours for 15 mins. No bugger takes any notice of em round our way, I bet they don't up your end Tel!

Fitted one just before Christmas on a new build. The programming did take a while to get my head around but I would fit one again and as suggested I'd probably get the patch lead so I could do it via laptop as I reckon it'd save a lot of time and would be easier.
