Prox tags are way easier than the smartkeys.

I would be a little concerned of access to the EWD as I imagine the 3rd floor is pretty high.

Sorry its 2nd floor not 3rd.

 

I've been away all week but have another firm coming to quote on an HKC. But theyve only been fitting them for about 8 months...

I'd ditch the smartkeys.

There's not a lot of information on the detection.

Why is the bell installed by customer?

 

It's always recommended to get at least 3 quotes and go with the company you feel most comfortable with, not necessarily the cheapest.

 

Its not the bell but rather the cable to the bell. We are renovating and getting the cable from the ground floor to the 3rd floor is a little tricky so I suggested I could run that one.

The smart keys were really just for the parents/Inlaws for ease of access.

Thanks Guys.. The Agility "Looks" the nicest....But the Alarm guy has just been and even though they advertise on their homepage with an offer he recommended the Texecom Ricochet. He said he has the Texecom and his Daughter has the Agility and she would rather have his........

 

He going to email me the quote asap. So I have time to do more research Etc.

Hiya Guys.

 

We've had a spate of burglaries in the area in the past few weeks and even though I have a 6 camera cctv setup I thought it best to also fit an Alarm.

 

As a gadget freak I was ready to push the button on an Agility3 but then I stumbled across this forum 

 

So I'm here to ask for help navigating the minefield.

 

 

I need a wife friendly system that I can arm/disarm via an app and also record CCTV in the event of a trigger.

 

Ideally wireless....We've just renovated and dont want any wires on show (Actually if were quick we could go wired downstairs but time is running out)
