irishnut 297 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm looking to install a new alarm in my house. I currently have a wireless system, 5-6 years old. I need 2 new pirs and doors contacts, as the quality is shit. so instead of fixing it, I'm thinking of installing a new set up. Prefer wireless again, want 4 pir and 5 door contacts. What is advice, is wireless ok? on what makes etc. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Don't know much about self-install ones, but when we had an a alarm fitted by a well known company they gave me the option of wired or wireless. I asked what the pros and cons were and they told me wireless weren't all that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

willum 89 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Visonic powermax kits are a good doddle to fit and install wireless bell and the main panels have a built in dialler that can be wired to a phone point so on a activation it calls you to let you know of a break in they also have a mic built so you can listen in to your property and shout at shits that have broken in. Also come with remote arm fobs aswell. Hkc alarm panels are ok but can't accept a 0 if or when you set your 4 digit code. Wired panels are good and a lot cheaper but pain in the arse if you've got get cables all over the place. Hope this helps bud 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 3,048 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 IMO better off with a hard wired system, less maintenance (replacing batteries etc) or you could opt for a hybrid system, Menvier and Honeywell Galaxy are well known systems which can accomodate hard wired and have the ability to integrate wireless expanders to take on wire free devices. So the devices near to you control panel wich are easy to reach you could hard wire and the more hard to reach areas could be wireless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oneredtrim 148 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 it's handy to allow your loved one's to arm a system whilst they are in the house (in the house and not ready for beddy-bo's)....shit happens after tea in the winter whilst your out with dogs http://www.onlinesecurityproducts.co.uk/vibration-sensors/PC.09003.20.html?gclid=CLCKj_X77MUCFZLLtAodAyUATA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
