Built on Texecom's Premier technology, the Premium system is a bespoke, customisable solution with hybrid sensor functionality. It offers 8 wired zones plus optional expander modules, customisable keypad finishes - diamond black, brass, satin chrome and pearl white - and contact colours, wireless PIR/MIR sensors via Ricochet, and micro contacts in white, brown or grey.
Smart features include Proxy Tags for keypad-free disarming, Smart Key (a compact arming/disarming fob with a panic button), SmartCom for smartphone control via the Connect app, Smart Plugs and Wireless Expanders - suited to 4+ bed houses, larger offices or commercial sites, and technically-inclined users who want room to expand.
