Guest locus Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Hi, I have set a budget of £200 to buy a burglar alarm for my 3 bedroom house. It seems that the only alarm I can afford within my budget is a wireless Alarm. Can anyone recommend a good wireless alarm in UK? I have come across Response, Yale, BT, TTS, AEI systems. Which one is recommended? Thank you
Guest locus Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 I live in the area of Solihull near Birmingham. You state that the systems I have mentioned above are not of very good quality, would you recommend other ones of better quality? Thanks again
ian.cant Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 1st problem.....you need to increase your budget if you want a quality piece of kit installed, regardless of wether its wired or wireless. If you want to trust your home to the equvalent of a Trabant in car terms fine, i suggest you increase the budget and go for the Corsa equivalent at least! You need to consider a Scantronic wireless system minimum, some on here would say go for wired. A good way of thinking is a wireless system can be a good thing but a wired system can always be more flexible. Either way take some free advice from a reputable local firm, most will provide free quotations and advice.
Guest locus Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 how much will a good priced burglar Alarm system cost? any recommendation?
ian.cant Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Its really difficult to put a figure on what you need to spend without seeing what your trying to protect if you see what i am saying. Expect to pay a minimum of £300 for a basic system and i mean basic but a job done by a good installer with good kit. Anything above that should be realistic and unless you have a rather large house, then up to max of say £700. By all means get a few quotes and we can help you decide which way you should go.
Guest barrie Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 I agree with the other replies. I've serviced wireless systems and have found detectors not working and the clients not even aware, galaxy 8,16 won't let u down but if you need to install a wire free system i would also say go for scantronic panel but you sould go for hardwired, is it a new build?
Guest Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Wireless are NOT alarm systems. So DO NOT get them installed for that purpose. On the other hand if you are a farmer you can use wireless as a fertilizer but even in that case you can get better quality stuff for better kg/£ ratio..
