Guest Rich Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 What do you all think of the Response 5000s it is wireless and has a solar powered bell box . It also comes with a speech dialler , seems very easy to fit . Is it a worry about signal jamming with these model s Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/404-response-5000s/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Service Engineer Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 These kits are about £200, if you can afford that and are fairly competant at running wires you could buy yourself a hardwired kit at a cheaper price, and benefit from a more reliable system as well. These wireless kits have there uses, but the basic kit has hardly enough detectors to cover the average house, extra sensors are around £35 each, so you might end up spending more on the kit, than had you payed an approved company to install a system in the first place. Apart from perhaps the new breed of wireless panels coming out such as the Powermax, I`d never advise anyone to buy a wireless DIY kit over a hardwired system. ........................................................

Guest simmo Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I agree with Dave, it is better than nothing but its obvious by the external box its a DIY effort. Spend your money on a decent panel, it will serve you well for years. Good luck.

Guest Adrian Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 B) I agree with wss I have been involved in about 6 or 7 installs with wire free stuff and every one of them has had a problem with trying to get the dectors to work where we want to put them, or they don't work at 20m in clear space. Just hate them and I would never recomend them to anyone. (but thats just my thought) Most diy radio systems I have seen only last about 6 months before they start going faulty. Well thats it as you can tell I'm not a fan of radio stuff Adrian B) Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/404-response-5000s/#findComment-2004 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adrian Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 B) I can give you a link to a site that does like radio but its like walking into a room with a master blaster going off you will want to get out faster than you went in. Adrian B) PS don't ask for it its not worth it.
