(Finally) We've published the issues with the Yale alarms

[cybergibbons]

Obviously you can't judge value of good inside from size of house, but there are several 5/6 bedroom houses in Ealing and Hounslow with Yale alarms.

So far in the last 4 years, I've had 8 people approach me about break-ins without alarms going off. One of them I would definitely put down to mental health issues,

 

Arf?

It is not the fact that these alarms are not totally secure. They would be fine for the average private household. I tried to get some spare parts and was told the HSA 6000 system had been retired. That means the system has to be ripped out and the latest upgrade put in. A bit like going for an oil filter for your car and being told you need a new engine.

 

Yale can stick all of their products up the relevant place, as far as I am concerned: A TOTAL SCAM!

You can get parts for it online easily , and it's cheap tat anyway , you can buy new kit £150 ?

 

So how much will you pay for decent alarm that may last you? 

 

What you secure your property or what's inside it valuables or people are as good as the price you pay for the security as such

You get what you pay for...

As tech moves on it's increasingly common to have local radio attacks on equipment.

Wifi jammers are often used to defeat doorbell cams at the moment.

Nothing is produced forever, sooner or later something better comes along and its not cost effective to keep making parts for the older kit. Decent manufactures do make stuff backward compatible though. 

Im not so sure they would be fine for the average private household, they advertise themselves with the name on the bell so anyone clever enough could just buy one bit of circumventing kit and go around looking for houses with Yale alarms knowing that the owner has a false sense of security. But they are cheaper than a dog, which can also be circumvented with drugged meat
