My alarm was jammed


Recommended Posts

CCTV provides a false sense of security to a lot of people, the market is flooded with rubbish due to this.

I wouldn't bother with CCTV from what you have said.

 

If you consider how it would benefit your security and you'll find it probably won't.

Are you going to stay up every night and watch the CCTV to react to them jimmying the patio doors?

Are you likely to be able to use the CCTV to identify any crims after the event? Probably not.

 

If you buy a professionally fitted alarm system you should expect to pay a one off fee for installation and a maintenance fee yearly.

This is the same as your Yale will have only a bit dearer, because it's a more secure system.

As above, but if you feel it's a must for some reason, either get it fitted professionally (although that doesn't mean much these days) or buy a *decent* brand broken IP dome cam like an Axis or Panasonic and stick it up at the rear as a convincing looking deterrent.

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

If cctv isnt done right its a waste of money. If your not using decent stuff in the right places i wouldnt bother tbh

+1, and ime 90% isn't done/positioned right.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
