Also look at Gardtec, CPX has dialer/voice & wireless capability,

Take care not to damage cables during installation.

I wouldn't advise a first time DIYer embark on an installation using
an 800 series panel. I
fit quite a bit of GardTec equipment but I still hate them, they make
life hard work for the
simplest of things, and the manuals are truly horrific.

The CPX isn't as bad, but I would still not recommend anything other
than a Texecom for
DIY as GardTec is trade only (mainly, odd bits do get sold to all and
sundry) so Texecom
win for DIYing on availability to non-trade, clearer instructions and
better support.
