rossyl Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Hi All, I've had a look around and the wireless topics seem fairly old, and I would've hoped the Tech has moved on. So i hope it's ok to post a new topic. Really hoping some of you can offer advice as I've been reading uip on this for a while and I'm getting pretty confused! The House/Requirements It is a mid terraced house in North London. It's in the middle of a long terrace, so the back of the house is not easily accessible. We have two cats which are locked in the rear room at night/when we are away. We are currently renovating the house. The house has three floors; ground, 1st, and a loft extension. I think I would need: Contacts/Vibration Sensors: Front door, bay windows x 3, rear bifold door, 1st floor rear windows x2. PIRs: Front hallway/reception room, rear kitchen (pet friendly), 1st floor hallway. We would want it to dial and/or text certain numbers when activated. It must be upgradeable, so we can ad/remove PIRs/contacts easily. The Alarm The house is currently going through a large renovation. So now is a good time for wiring. But costs are an issue, and we'd hope that this would cost around £500. We thought wireless, potentially so it could be a DIY job, but also because it would be easy to add/replace items. We want something decent but it does not need to be cutting edge or super-security. Costs How much do you think we should be paying, and should we go for wired or wireless? Personally I would prefer a wireless professional system. But it is costs dependant. Thanks all.
PeterJames Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Hi Rossyl Welcome I dont cover North London but I would guess £600 to £800 either way. I would choose hard wired over wireless if possible

Oxo Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Nope , cannot see that price working in N London. Average for this is about £1250.00, hard wired. 3 story terraced. Parking is also atrocious there. £500 , no way.
PeterJames Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I didnt read the op and missed the vibros but guessed terraced house 1 to 1.5 days lab, 3 to 4 dets panel and bell.
Oxo Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Worked in a few of these and cables can be a right pain. Had to use G2-20s and RF, hybrid time
