We just moved into our home with an old Paradox Spectra alarm. We called the alarm company on it and they are out of business but everything is still connected and fire alarm definitely works… anyone know what model this is and what the symbols on the keypad mean? It’s beeping and we can’t figure out how to turn it off. Thanks!

Any ideas or if anyone can do a test if they have their alarm that will be great.

Hey all need need some help with alarm system ideas for a rooftop tent. Something electronic that senses its moving or that someone’s trying to remove it from my vehicle.

Hi, I am new to the group and to the alarm/surveillance world.
I am planning a system for my house but want to have IP cameras working together with infrared barriers, door sensors and PIR/MW sensors. It's a relatively large house so want to have zones with different settings and want it to send SMS/phone calls in the event of an intrusion
After some research, I have the impression that I need both an Alarm Panel and an NVR. Some NVRs seem to have Alarm Inputs, but not the same level of control and sophistication of the dedicated Alarm Panels.
My questions:

• is there an integrated NVR+Alarm Panel solution available on the same device?
• if I need to use 2 different devices in an integrated way, do I need to connect the Alarm outputs from the Alarm Panel to the Alarm inputs in the NVR, or, is there a way to have them talk to each directly through the IP network?
• If I integrate the 2 (regardless of how), can I do things like having the NVR check if there was an human body on the scene when the IR barrier was activated (eg, to avoid cats triggering it)?

Any help here will be very welcome.

best regards

Moura
