Need advice on picking the right security system

[tcsekhar]

I'm moving into a new home which doesn't have any security system installed. I was planning to install a security system with monitoring either through you or AlarmRelay or SafeMart. But I liked EnvisaLink3 and wanted to learn more. I did find the below information on eyezon website:

DSC PowerSeries (1555, 1555 MX, 1575, 5010 (832), 5020 (864), 1616, 1832, 1864)
Honeywell Vista Panels (Vista20P, 21P, 15P, and 10P)

But, I couldn't find any of the systems you referred to - for purchasing online. In the system I'm planning to install, I am looking for the following:

1. A system which communicates to the monitoring service through GSM (or Internet primarily and GSM when no Internet)
2. A system which allows me to add wireless accessories at any point of time down the line..
3. A system which allows me to monitor at-least 32 accessories (at least 5 motion detectors plus door/window/glass break/smoke/CO etc)
4. A system which will let me control it through tablets and phones (when I plug in the EnvisaLink3)

Optional (not a required):
5. A system which allows controlling lights and other accessories
6. A system which will allow me to add IP cameras as input

Can you please recommend me a system from Home Security Store or Amazon which would let me use your EnvisaLink3?

You can go with DSC or honeywell. On DSC, I would go with an 1832 or 1864. Pick a bundle that works for you but here is one for an example that comes with a wireless keypad. The RF keypad will let you add wireless zones later if the sensors are within range of where you place the keypad.

The 1832 and 1864 come with 8 hardwire zones so you will need to group some door/window contacts on one zone loop or add some PC5108 zone expanders if you want 32 hardwire zones. Hope that helps.

1 x DSC WS4913 Wireless CO Detector for Alexor Panel

This will not work with your DSC 1832 panel

From the aspect of having the widest support and availability of parts and support it would have to be DSC.

The WS4913 http://www.dsc.com/index.php?n=products&o=view&id=129 Wireless CO Detector, according to DSC.com, will work with the newer versions of the Power Series, version 4.5 and higher.

I have some issue about the newly-built house. Any surveillance equipment should be installed?
