Thats an other question, but I shall answer it.
I assume that your main objection against is the fact
that its a wireless system.
A wired system is more expensive (due to the installation),
and its not easy in an existing house, especially when
you need detectors on two floors.
In my neighbourhoud, almost every burglary is done by
people who are almost unprepared, and want to make a
very fast job.
So a system which starts a sirine as soon as they enter
might scare them off sufficient. They will not have equipment
to by bypass the wireless system. Of course they can
use hammer to destroy the system, but thats why I want
to make a design with separate sirene.
I am aware that a wireless system has disadvantages, but
I try to make them as low as possible by designing a
good system, and thinking (and write them down!) of
all possible scenario's from a possible intruder.
Or is there another reason that you do not like Visonic??

Over time a manufacturer develops a reputation. In my experience Visonic has been a lower end product. That shouldn't be a surprise to Visonic since it is aimed and priced at the lower end of the market. In the US the majority of Visonic sales are in its a line of wireless and its motion sensors. Neither line has been robust their performance or longevity in my experience. I don't think they are built or priced to be anything other than low end gear. Most get replaced with another brand when they fail. If you are looking for something cheap and portable, that you'll get rid of in a few years in favor of something better and more permanent, Visonic might be perfect for your needs now.
The thing about Visonic is that while their wireless is sort of low
end, their hard wired motion detectors are excellent. I can't speak
for the entire line but I've used lots of their K-980D dual techs and
SPY series in-wall units. We've also sold more of them online than
almost all the others and to date there have been extremely few
problems.

That's too bad. Another good wireless system to look into is the Ademco
"Lynx" family (and hopefully that's available in your neck of the
woods). Ademco wireless is considered one of the best in the industry.

You don't have to worry about "French". Canada's still going to be

If it's the system I'm thinking of, it's an all-in-one, right? My problem
with those is they are mounted out in the open for convenience of operation.
All system components are right there: just knock it off the wall and it's
dead.

Newsflash! Neither has he! He will tell you he's sold "thousands" with
"zero returns". Translation: He's sold "three" and the customers can't
return them because he still doesn't answer his phone.

I will add a wireless operating panel to it, and a
wireless external sirene. And the system itself will be located
at a place (either a closet or a room upstairs)that will be
guarded by a sensor .
So as soon as you will approach the system, the system
itself and the sirene will start yelling. You can smash the
system, but that will not stop the sirene.
So at least I am thinking about design

As long as you are going to that trouble, why not just use a conventional
alarm panel. You'll get a better system, and probably a lot better wireless.

As long as you're on the subject, why not put in a hybrid alarm system
with better supervised wireless...
