rossyl Posted February 27, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted February 27, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxo Posted February 27, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
