Wburke Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I currently have a wireless alarm at my house (whole thing was £100 from B&Q) and after 6 months the battery in the siren has gone. I would go wired however we have plastered and decorated nearly every room in the house so don't want to be cutting into the walls. Is there any reasonably priced alarm systems that have wireless door and pir sensors with an actual wired siren? Can cope with changing batteries in the house but getting up a ladder (and I don't do heights) twice a year is a no for me! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norman Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Your sales patter needs a bit of work imo. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy™ Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 cheap tat from B&Q and youre surprised its gone flat within 6 month? im surprised it has lasted 6 month. some wireless alarms can have wired bellbox & detectors but you can expect to pay a bit more than £100..

PeterJames Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Unfortunately, you have fallen for the buy cheap buy twice. When you were in B&Q did you notice that they were not using the cheap tat they sell to protect their premises? I would advise that you take it back as it is less than a year old but as batteries are a consumable I think they could that you must have used all the battery power.

Wburke Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Understand I will pay more than £100, at the time it was all I could afford and next door had just been broken into. I did what I had to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Just take it back if you the reciepts say it's not fit for its purpose you never know might get credit note or exchange for another item You want to diy or have it fitted Diy like pyronix enforcer kit ? Has wired bell option and wireless bell which lasts more than 6months but no comfort LEDs that are bright enough to noticed , has gsm and dialler options Or texecom which has a great diy helpline , texecom ricochet system harder to setup imo Expect to pay £500 plus for diy once you add on bits on and Upto £2k installed if you have a complicated setup Sounds good eh?

Wburke Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Would want to DIY it as I am "fairly" competent. Thanks for the suggestions, one alternative are there any wireless alarms which use solar panels to keep the siren charged without changing the battery or is it pointless?

james.wilson Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 professional grade wireless sounders will do 2 years but it does depend how often you set it off. Pretty much all decent gear allows for a wired sounder. Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
