Hi,
I am looking to install a home security alarm and am looking for some advise.
I have gone through some of the threads and but I don't have enough enough information to make up my mind.
I got a quote from one installer for £850 for 5 sensor units wireless setup but he hasn't mentioned the brand he is going to install and at the same time I was wondering if it's easy enough to install the alarms myself. Also I would rather spend most of that money on a good unit.
Reading from all the threads the wireless units seem to be the way to go for and I am looking for brands which are reliable (no false alarms), can be extended and also smart if possible (i.e. remote reset etc).
I also need advise on placing the sensors (whether they need to be discreet) and also the control panel.
Initially I looked at the Yale ones but it seems they are cheaper for a reason.
Do you also need a external bell and do any of these units come with one (excluding yale)?
Any help / advise would help make up my mind.
