    well, after completing my CCTV project (self bought/installed) IP Cams. My alarm is next.

    ive decided already im going with a HKC panel, ive noticed them installed in most places, my own sister has one and seems to be right for me. i like the hybrid board, which if i can remember from last reading about it covers a lot of optioins regarding hardware connectivity.

    my frist question is, can you actually buy these through an electrical retailer CT Electrical etc. panels/PIRs/bell

    does anyone know of a website that has all the HKC products available with prices? hard to come by.

    correct me if Im wrong, but maybe you can only buy through an approved installer.

    For HKC most suppliers in the sticky & many electrical wholesalers would stock these. If you want more of a challenge why not try the[URL="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6sJTuagSI_idUJKSGNNd1BTY2s/view?usp=sharing

    A much more interesting system with lots of options for connectivity.
    Outputs , mappings gates X10 etc. If your after a good project you can get this thing to control almost anything.
    You also have full browser access for programming, full IP access for remote access along with free apps & free cloud connection.
    With HKC you will have to buy every app you want to use & you will have to pay an annual subscription to connect to the panel via their cloud.

    There are a few online selling alarm equipment.
    Its a lot cheaper working out what you require and buying direct off a supplier on the list here.

    Don't think there has to be a business name associated with it, just once you're a registered business.

    Bad form of its purpose is to act the cnut, would you not agree?

    If acting the C is what its about...
    Bad form of business to let you domain name sit there free though.And the business name if that's the case.
