wireless alarm systems? Good ones

[beatboaby924y]

Anyone fitted a wireless alarm? Just wondering what a good one was for a decent price. Not a solar power one as I've heard their not so good. Customers wants me to fit one for them.

cheers boys. Saw the yale one on screw fix with 4 pirs and 2 door contacts for £160 but though it was a bit amateurish as the control panel just plugged in and the bell box wasn't hard wired good price though.

I'll check the gardtec one out, cheers

agree, but a lot more complex and expensive. risco tell me that you need a training course (1 day) on the agility.

I know what you mean with the yale totally wireless would probably be installed really quickly but thought the ones with the control panel to keypad and bell box were better, more professional. Noticed it also has a transformer plug on it for the control panel which is handy for someone whos not a spark and couldn't provide a fused spur for it.

guess it depends on price too theres a big difference from £160 right up to £300/£400 for same amount of pirs door contacts.

the only thing i can say against the gardtec 595, is that it's a bit daunting initialising the setting up if you're not familiar with them. however, if you order one, ask for the full installer manual, and if you get stuck, their tech.help is a normal phone number (not a stupidly expensive call) and they are extremely helpful.
