Hi. My mother bought a miguard g5 system a few years ago. It looks like the control panel has given up on her!
She has all the sensors around her home already but the control panel appears to be obsolete now. Am I correct in thinking that any 433mhz control panel will work with the sensors she currently has?
Any recommendations if so?
Thanks
 
Given that the Miguard G5 system is an ERA product I would suggest a call to them to find a compatible system that can use the detectors you have

I very much doubt it. 433MHz is the radio link's carrier frequency, but there'll be a code of some kind modulated onto that. 433MHz is used by many R/C devices, including my garage door opener, and you wouldn't want your mother's alarm going off every time a neighbour opens their garage.

Hmmm. Ok that sounds logical.

I only thought it because a lot of these cheap chinese ones are saying you can use any brand sensors with them.

It appears that the g5 was discontinued so the best option I can think of is a complete new system. I'll bet good money that a compatible control panel won't be much cheaper than a full system nowadays given that a full house alarm can be bought for under £100
 
alarm can be bought for under £100

must be crap/the wireless system i installed last month, the gear came to over £500 for an aveage house, 7 detectors.
