Newbie here...
I need to buy an alarm system and was looking at the Visionic Powermax wireless system as it has X10 capability (even if you can't use X10 sensors directly)... but then I started to look at what was available on X10 and I see you can get x10 PIR sensors and other alarm like devices.
I was drawn to the Visionic because it has:
*Wireless PIR sensors (but no dual mode wireless sensor?)
*Remote viewing of cameras (via a Powerlink box but only available in the USA?).
*GSM dialer
*Reasonable small key fobs
Q1) Would it be possible to build a similar system using totally X10 based products?
Q2) If I went with the Visionic system what frequency (433 or 868Mhz) should I choose to minimise compatibility problems with X10? I think x10 cameras use 2.4ghz but what about most other x10 devices? 433mhz?
Q3) Are there any dual mode X10 Pir sensors.
Q4) Is there an alarm system that's better integrated with x10?
