Hi guys, I searched IP & house alarm and most of the previous forums are too old circa 2012 etc around the house alarm topic.
Please i'm looking for personal feedback as to what is the best WIRED IP CAPABLE HOUSE BURGLAR ALARM, with respect to remote ability in additional to the obvious of being a really good house alarm e.g. its primary function which should include all legacy capabilities.
I'd like;
- 4-8 zones
- $500-1000 kit only
- email notifications
- ideally push notifications
- LED keypad
- remote access via internet & LAN
- calls my phone
I know there's bosch, paradox, Micron and possibly DSC as options but the space is a mine field only clear when someone has one and you discover the pitfalls.
I checked out the app capabilities for Android and my first view is Paradox look the best amongst the few?
Paradox
- looked like ok functionality with respect to remote capabilities, emails, turn on/off, night alarm etc
- Did notice in comments, no DDNS so you need to know the IP address to access remote (duh?),
- apparently no push notifcations, only email notifcations.
Bosch
- Users were generally slating this alarm and its poor internet capable functionality
Micron
- Seemed basic on/off, night alarm functionality and although I have microns now, I thinking I'll be better future proof with an internation brand with international scale with respect to development, R&D. The legacy microns I've had were good though.
DSC
- Not sure
Lastly I'd want to install it myself, or at least have the installer codes because I have to maintain it being out of a main center.
Appreciate any advice or product offers.
cheers
