House Alarm systems?

[nature]

I am thinking of getting a digital alarm system at my house.

Can anybody recommend me any good ones?

What should I be looking out for when purchasing them?

Dsc brand or Paradox

[nature]

thanks any particular models.... and how much should i expect to pay for a half decent one

[Shady]

get a brand that will notify a control centre, not just a noise maker as these just annoy people rather than making them call the police

get a jack russell. nothing makes noise like a jack russell.


alternatively... don't have any good stuff. then you won't get robbed

So your going to get an alarm system to protect your TV arieal.

Before your purchse inspect your hose - just check to see if the doors/windows are analoge or digital.

hi mate i bought this system
you can put a mobile sim card in it and when the alarm goes off it rings or texts your mobile or any other number ya might have prestored in it
its a ll wireless and ya can install it by yourself by following there youtube videos
GL8088D ~ secBo series - GSM (TRI Band 900/1800/1900MHz) Wireless Smart Alarm Set GL8088D


it has a backup battery if power goes
it works of the mobile network so they cant cut the phone line
its wireless so no wires needed just need power for outdoor alarm and main unit
can set different zones so you can lock all the windows and doors when inside the house
and when your away you can also turn on the motion sensors

Hey,

How much are you looking to spend and I can desing system for you.. yes notifications via GSM and Internet is way to go.

How many rooms do you have pets ?
Do you need sensors on outside.

There is a lot to consider and you get what you pay for.

Will you do the install yourself ?
Wired or Wireless ?
CCTV as well ?

Budget - not sure, not too expensive though
censors only inside
wireless
Install by myself
CCTV ( how much would it be for a basic cctv )
