    Hi, my PW contract is expiring - is it possible to re-program the panel or do I require a new panel and try and repair the existing PIR etc?

    You have to check your contract to see if you own the equipment first.

    If you do, in my opinion, you can do one of the following:
    1] Get software and the cables/converters to re-program the panel - very steep learning curve and is just as costly as the next option.

    2] Buy Evohome Security Panel and reuse some of the peripherals of your current system see here.
    I think you can reuse the fobs/tags/fire alarm/door sensors but this is a gamble as KoolKid said they might be using a different frequency's.
    You will make up the cost in year 1 because you will be saving the monitoring costs. You might need to let your house insurance know that your self-monitoring your alarm and might lose your discount.

    3] Buy a complete new alarm system...

    Let us know how you get on, I'll be doing option 2 before next year's renewal, I got them down to €30p/m.

    If this is their new system it's not yours to take control of. You are only renting it. Read the terms and conditions. It will be absolutely useless to you.
