Quick-Reference: Choosing Alarm System Accessories
The right add-ons and extras ensure your alarm installation is robust and future-ready. When selecting compatible accessories for your chosen panel, keep the following in mind:
- Check zone and output compatibility on datasheets or installation manuals.
- Favour motion sensors and contacts that match your panel's voltage and interface type.
- Batteries: Opt for locally available rechargeable backup batteries (most panels require 12V 7Ah).
- Expand coverage using add-on wireless modules, where supported, for hard-to-wire areas.
- Choose tamper-protected sirens and solid-state strobes for external alerts.
Example: Basic 8-Zone Home Alarm System
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| IDS 805 Panel | Main board, up to 8 wired zones |
| IDS LED Keypad | User code entry & system control |
| 3x Wired PIRs | Indoor motion sensing for rooms/passages |
| 2x Magnetic Contacts | Doors/windows for perimeter breach |
| Piezo Siren & Flasher | Audible + visual deterrent |
| 12V 7Ah Battery | Mains backup (approximately R300-450 ZAR, local average) |
