need house alarm advise

it was a good law in principle, to stop criminals being involved in the security industry, but as far as i remember they never excluded homeowners DIYing so you could be locked up for installing your own alarm(or down to adding a deadbolt to your door) Maybe they fixed it(but i doubt it!)
Maybe you can make sense of it, i cant be @rsed readin it

EDIT
Found this in a blog

The PSA decided initially to target the intruder alarm sector, because there is an agreed Irish standard for Intruder Alarms (IS EN 50131). It is now a legal requirement that all intruder alarms in Ireland must be installed by PSA licensed companies. DIY alarms are effectively illegal, you can be prosecuted for installing one (no cases brought yet against B&Q for selling kits). Numerous un-licensed installers have, however, been prosecuted by the PSA (they have a very convenient whistle-blower page on their web page that I imagine has been the source of these prosecutions).
