Guest Sh4rpie Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Response alarms are pretty good for the price, i have had one of the SA5 dialer alarms for many years now with NO problems whatsever. batteries last nearly two years and never had a 'false' alarm. i did have the alarm kicking off now and again but that was due to the anti jamming facility being connected. after taking it off (after a day of owning it) no problems have occured since. using and installing this system is dead easy with the peace of mind that if it did go off, then the system would ring my mobile. from which i could stop the system and even listen in to the property. no monitoring fees or expensive installation costs was what swung the decision for me and now quite a few people i know. i still dont understand people's problem with these systems as my one is an effective deterrant (both next doors have been burgled but not mine - touch wood) and cost me less than Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the engineers on the helpdesk for Response are extremely helpful, so the backup is fantastic if you need it. they solved the jamming problem on my alarm and gave me advice on masking off the 'creep zone' on the detectors within a couple of minutes. I have phoned a couple of helpdesks in my time and have never found one as helpful. when one of my junior engineers called them they practically set the alarm up with him over the phone. so the support for those systems is really good.

Guest Sh4rpie Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 you dont need tools to take the jamming detection off. its a physical link in the siren. it may never cause the alarm to go off. but if its taken off (only on the siren which will still respond to jamming detection from the panel) then that rules out the only problem i can find with these systems so far.

Map Security Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Well from my experience, Ive fitted over 100 Yale systems and Ive never had a single problem with even one!! Had a new faulty control unit but nowt else!!! As for alarms in close proximity, Ive fitted the Yale's to 15 new builds in a close....again no problems! I don't know anything about "Response" systems.........Yale are about to launch a new lithium ion Wireless system so that should be interesting! As for all this business about false alarms, ive never had a single call claiming any problems - I can only speak from my personal experience. Its all about what the customer wants to pay I think.......I always make them aware the batteries will last two years minimum.....The control panel is always first to go! PIR last upto 5! I always make customer aware that wired is far superior but when you quote, 95% go for wireless!!

Guest Alarm Guard Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 what grade are these yale things do you know?James Sold as DIY, so presumably they don't need to be graded at all. If they are graded, surely they must be Grade 1. They don't have the facilities required for other grades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
