Alarm design advice for 3 bedroom house

[EDinMK]

Well i guess the next stage is some advice on what to get Please guys:

 

The house I need to cover needs the folloing

 

Conservatory Door (contact or shock ..probably)
Patio Door (contact or shock ..probably)

Kitchen Door (Contact)

Kitchen window has 2 openings ...would a shock sensor be better?)
Util Room is always closed so thinking PIR
Dining Room Window has 3 openings ...What do u suggest?

Front Door (thinking Contact)

downstairs WC (1 opening)

Lounge Window has 3 openings (but as this is closed at night a PIR would be ok?)

 

The dogs have the run of most of the house, when they are in bed or go out , except for lounge/util/wc

they climb on stuff like crazy, they are jack russells ..you cant teach them s**t

 

Upstairs they only want a panic button in bedroom. There is only 1 room they want to secure its like
a 2nd bedroom , and its always closed ...nothing of real value in here, but sentimental photos and old stuff 

they want protecting ..so I am thinking PIR in there too

 

all this with a wired Bell Box

 

So where should i go and what should i be asking for 
I will have to self-fit as the cost will be more than the Yale (obviously)
I am not too thick and so unless its a beast i should be OK

Ed I would advise you break your questions down into smaller chunks, focus on one thing per topic etc

Security systems need bespoke design, there is so much to think about it's an important part of the job when you get someone in to assess the risk of the property.

There is only so much advice you can give without seeing the site.

 

General rule of thumb from what you have said above, you need to protect all rooms on the ground floor plus any higher risk upstairs rooms.

If you have pets, any room they are in while you need the alarm set would be best to have perimeter protection over motion detection, this makes appropriate coverage more expensive.

Contacts will only operate if the fixture it's mounted to is opened as intended.

Depending on window contruction, type etc you may need 3 sensors

thanks James it is UPVC and has 2 side openings and one int he middle at the top (although not sure anyone could get in there)
I dont really know how these shock sensors work ..I mean the windows are always latched closed and need to be push button to turn

so I am presuming a robber would either break the glass or pry the window ...

 

[james.wilson]

plastic is a very good shock absorber so range is low. Again cant tell without site survey etc but play safe with 1 detector per section

Yep and cranking the sensitivity to maximum would just create false alarms.

and its quite big too

i just took a snap

One area where I am myself prepared to be flexible with how far coverage goes is occupation - it's surprising how often I am asked to fit an alarm

for an old couple and when I check the logs its been set about twice a year! That's fine if the twice a year is two three month cruises (which is the case for

one particular customer, and I fully understand why they want an alarm) but I was just wondering, I take it the house is regularly empty for hours rather than

weeks at a time, or not?

thanks

but they do like to keep busy and with hospital and stuff
(one is getting treatment for C) then they are out a bit

 

But anyway I have decided to PIR that room as its locked when they go out anyway

 

So i look around t'interweb amnd i suppose i need a "hybrid" an alarm with wireless and cabled features

and i get to here ..Scantronic 40 zone hybrid control panel - Security Warehouse

 

how confusing is this 

 

I need a Box with Keyfobs (preferrably)

A dialler unit to call relatives

3 x Wireless PIR

8 Wireless Contacts

1 x Panic Button

1 x Wired Bellbox

 

none of the kits seem to match this setup ...guess i am looking at separates
