Hi,
I am reviewing the choice of security system to shortly be installed in our new house. About a year ago, before we started the build, I was intending to use an Infinite Prime, possibly with a GSM module, as we were looking for a reliable system that could be connected to an audio monitoring service.
It turns out that GSM coverage in the house is very patchy (a combination of well-insulated walls and foil-backed plasterboard don't help!), so if we go with the original plan we will be primarily using the landline for connectivity - I may be able to improve the GSM coverage later.
It has been suggested to me that I should now be looking at a broadband system instead, so that we have the option of integrated CCTV even if we don't need/want it immediately (I definitely don't want Home Automation as I have this covered already). The Visonic Powermax Pro has been mentioned.
So my question is: Should I stick with the Infinite Prime (or the newer iConnect) or look at the Visonic range instead? Or even something else?
Given that I haven't needed to install a security system for over 10 years I would appreciate any suggestions or advice that you care to offer.
Many thanks,
Martin
