Hi, anyone here using Avantis AX1 alarm system before? Just wanted to know whether is it reliable compared with Paradox.

I got quote RM2500 for double storey house with conceal wiring system. Thx first!

2 keypads (1 master bedroom & 1 living hall) & 3 PIR sensors (2 inside ceiling top & 1 in living hall).

. I bet we never heard of it, but it from OYL Technology (Subsidiary from OYL Industries (Daikin A/C)). Here is the info of the Alarm system.

Avantis AX1

On the false alarm side. I think every alarm system has its own setting & issue. My current house is using Paradox SP6000, but still every now & then it will triggered the alarm because of renovation works done by my neighbors (Even 3-4 houses on the same row) or firecrackers.

I think it's something to do with the vibration sensor & your house structure. For the PIR sensor, so far I never have any issue even though the installer did mention the PIR sensor will be alerted all the time when it detect motion even rat (Like my father's house). So far it never happen to our current house.

I bet the existing cable can be reused for the new alarm system. Because my house is using Paradox control panel & keypad but cap ayam sensor & vibrator.

Coz I have no knowledge on Alarm system that time. Not until some sensors faulty then we found out it's cap ayam brand... Plus, gain some knowledge after I started to renovate my own house.

1. Most of the alarm systems have this system where you can press button to trigger help to Guard House, Ambulance & Police Station, PROVIDED the system has been linked to their network. (At least mine have, Avantis AX1) But I doubt this about ours since we're not having the same alarm system & network. So cannot be done. I guess those GnG houses should have this system pre-installed in house.

For the scenario that you mentioned "When they break in & held me captive & asked me to disarm it" Hmm... If they break it then the alarm should triggers already & siren will sound, then if you have preset the telephone no in the system then it will dial to the no that you preset. May be you can set one of your family members telephone no which is not staying with you?

2. Most of the alarm system can be equipped with remote control with alarm trigger function. Else, using your phone to dial special code to activate/diactivate the function. Even DCMoto/Casa Asia autogate system have this panic trigger function if you installed siren on top of the box. Another high tech way is using... "YOUR MOUTH TO SCREAM"

Max is 8 no that you can set. I think if the alarm system wanted to call 8 telephone in row, then shouldn't be more than 4 mins. Provided 30 sec max for each no.

Same price as you for AX1 but I have 3 PIR sensors. One thing to note, very important one. Mr. Kok is good but his installer is like shit when doing works so just be careful because my basin/tiles/door frame/wall all scratched & cracked by them. But if you monitoring them then I think should be ok.

RM8800 for 8 channels CCTV... 620 TV Line Cameras & DVR System, 4 IR Outdoor & 4 IR Dome with cable concealed. Right? I guess this is standard market price lor. I DIY myself also spent around RM3000 inclusive cable concealed (RM50 per point but I provided the cable) but I got those better quality one lar.

UNIFI better put at family hall (aka 1st floor living hall), you got WIFI so need no worry. But you can ask your alarm supplier to do the conceal piping/track for you UNIFI. So later UNIFI ppl just pull the cable follow the track that you provided. I did mine.

You makan bubur also can choke to dead lar.
