Hi, I've read a lot of positive opinions on here about the Siemens SPC panels, but not sure who installs these in South Dublin, can someone recommend some good installers?

Is a Wireless module required to connect to WiFi in order to use the SPC app for notifications?
Is there much of a difference in cost between a Wireless module and a GSM dialer?

Any general advice welcome for a newcomer.

For IP and to use SPC Connect you need the SPC 4320. It's a Lan connection, not WiFi that's used. You can add a WiFi adapter, but we find power line adapters more reliable. We use the likes of TP links all the time.
This panel would work out cheaper than adding a GSM dialler. There is also no charges for the apps and no ongoing subscription charges to use the app.
Take a look at the suppliers sticky for some installers and a link to the PSA register for installers.

The downside to using just the connection from a router is when the mains is off you will have no connection to the panel.
Id advise a second connection by means of adding a GSM to the system.

@ seanels:
Might be worth having a read over the sticky here. Lots of good information on the pros/cons of all systems etc.
