Great video!! The good thing is now youve added shock sensors is you can walk around the home at night and still having the perimiter armed i did this on my house except all my detectors are wired. But thats the beauty of wireless these days you can add them at a later date without any fuss.
Great video these texecom systems have had very positive reviews. Its all great a home being covered in pir motion sensors but the intruder has entered the home for them to be activated. Shock sensors on doors and windows are even better as the alarm is going off before the intruder has entered the premises. If a trip switch or shock sensor fails then yes you have your pir sensors as a back up. Texecom also do wireless pir sensors which is also great so you can add more upstairs or in your garage and theres no wires to be fed into the loft etc or for people that want pir sensors but dont want to have their floor boards and carpets lifted up.
Your absolutely right and worth noting for others. For me, I don’t want to be screwing in to my upvc windows, and don’t have a need to meet the grading.
@@DIYJourney1 I will be doing the same when I install a Texecom system in my rented flat. I've been working as an alarms engineer for eleven years, recently started working with more Texecom gear. Your videos have been helpful. Thanks!
Useful - thanks. I'm thinking about 2 of these for my newly installed roller doors on the garage in addition to an existing single PIR. I can't find an answer anywhere to what I thought would be a common question. I have full set, night set, plus garage only and another which we'll call "pet set". If I add these, are they added to all "part sets"/partitions (which is what I want) or do they need adding to each partition? I've always left this to the installers but it seems a bit OTT paying for a callout just to add these.
I’m looking to install a telecom panel like yourself iv never installed a telecom before did you wire each pir individual or as a parallel circuit joining loops in panel front thanks
Thanks I had an engineer out gave me a price of £1200 for a texecom system only got 5 pir and 1 bell box so Iv wired it myself each cable to each pir as you said thanks just puts my mind at rest with what I have done is right
Hi, can anyone help with the correct procedure for changing the batteries on these Texecom shock sensors and once changed does the system need resetting?
Can I ask did you have ro change the entry exit time mines at 3sec and for the love of God can't alter it nothing but trouble with this system and the hik cameras
Yes we have altered. The texecom handbook/app is great for explaining how to make alterations. The hik cameras cant comment as for 6 years and various setups, Iv not had many issues I cant resolve by google or youtube.

Great video massive help pal. We need more guys like you helping the rest 👍🏻
Thank you, hope it helps 👍🏻

Great video. One thing worth noting, to meet grade 2 requirements, the sensors must be mounted with screws, not sticky pads.

Have you had any issues with the batteries in these sensors? How long do the batteries last before needing to be replaced?
A few issues, but nothing a reset ir replace of the original batteries hasn’t resolved
Thanks for your reply. From your experience, how long do the batteries last before needing replacement? Is 2 years a realistic expectation?

Each PIR have been wired Individual, to their own zones.

That is unreal isn’t it. Fair play for having a go.
Can you still open the windows with the shock sensors so close the the frame?
Yes absolutely, I wouldn’t of put them there otherwise 👍🏻
@@DIYJourney1 thanks I’m getting some for my alarm :)
They are handy, I have had an issue with 2x of them but the rest have been great.
@@DIYJourney1 may I please ask what issue you had with them please?
Nice videos dont suppose you have done a video on wiring the actual alarm system?
Probably not the best video but heres what I did at the time:

Very well done

I put mine in eng mode to disable tamper then change battery when finished changing batteries exit eng mode all done. Hope this helps

@@DIYJourney1 texecom pro app?
Yes the texecom pro
@@DIYJourney1 thanks
Great vids
Great video. How much are the sensors?
If i remember correctly they are around £30-£40 each.
@@DIYJourney1 thank you. Adds up
Certainly does, I picked a few up cheaper from marketplace etc
