Hi all

Anyone using Paradox home alarm system? Who is your vendor and how is the service?

What about other brand and how the performance and reliability? Price?

http://www.paradox.com/

Never heard of this brand
But just the brand name of "PARADOX" tells me to stay away.

anyone try SECOM home security system?

Stay away as in crooks afraid of the security system?????

i was told by alarm company that Paradox is quite good, a lot of banks is suing this brand. was told that this is a canadian brand.

Yes... Paradox is one of the better range in terms of servicing, reliability, and upgradable. Want to know the level of servive quality by their malaysian vendor.

In fact there are many good brand out there other then Paradox Alarm. Other then the hardware cost, you will need to pay a little more to get a better installer. Installing an alarm system can be an easy task which every wireman can do, but maintaining it (false alarm, malfunction,...)might require ppl with experince/skills.

Hi,
I have been using it for quite sometimes.It is really very power alarm system. We buy the alarm from lelong.com and the video installation guide from www.waabay.com and installed our self during renovation. This save lots of money $$$. I love it so much !!

using paradox also. installation done by MMC. service was pretty good - they did a lot of finetuning and the system is really complex. so many things you can set i think i still dont know how to harness its full potential. its very very reliable, no defects so far. just one small problem in the past years where i called the importer and they fixed my setup on the spot (no charge, mind you). i especially like their petsafe perimeter sensors. once setup properly, you pretty much never have a false alarm. only once or twice a family of musangs triggered it. can link to security company, make the unit call you or your balai polis around the corner....

i think personally i'd buy it again but it's indeed one of the pricier options.

guys,

if i want to install the security wiring only (without any security devices) as a start up, who should i contact? the security company? or any wiring man?

if m not mistake, paradox is a US based company. local trader ADT etc get so called license and assemble it locally with their or paradox brand.

FYI paradox or supa8 etc is a brand normally just for the control panel/system. the individual unit ie sensor, detector, siren etc mostly taken from china or taiwan where they are mass produced there.

hi there.
i'm interested in installing paradox as well.
tough part is to get good installer.

i got mine from MMC - quite OK. bought paradox pet safe sensors all around the house, can ditch any further sensors in that case. they are pretty damn good. only thing not really from paradox was the siren but what gives.

Guys,
Appreciated if you can pass me the contact, I try to contact OTS company - Winson , call few times with no response or call back at all, so i think should get rid with them in case after sales service required.

I also comparing to another brand called "Blueguard", heard is m'sia brand.

Bluguard is buatan Malaysia... Heard good feedbacks bout them too.. But price is quite close to paradox..l I still choose the latter
