It's never too far on to have a wired system.
Good engineers should have the skill to install a wired system with minimal disruption.
No...I meant when I purchased the house it was 90% complete. Builder would not retro wire. All internal and external walls are filled with insulation. No empty cavities.
-
Yes new build Oct 16. Too far on when we bought to have wiring retro fitted, or I would have gone totally wired.
Site agent is a nice guy but says more than his prayers. We will see what transpires.

I did answer those questions above.
Also this is security equipment, so posting information and manuals everywhere puts that information in the wrong hands.
I am sure you see why there is limited information about this sort of stuff. This can also cause issues if you come to DIY it with no codes or instructions.
O.K.
I was not asking for codes "To be posted everywhere"
I texted sit agent earlier who says he will find out from alarm company for me......mind you he's not the most reliable !
Before you ask....only houses above 440k come with alarms. Not mine !

1. Yes but the provider cant give you the code as it may be in multiple systems. Would you want a security system provider that didn't care about protecting their clients. They will have to attend and change it and this would be a chargable call.
2. If diy then then default codes will be supplied
Many thanks.

depends wether you want a pro service provider, fitter or diy really
James,
What I am simply asking is...
1. Professional install. Can I get this mystical code once my 1 year warranty is up ?
2. Should this be DIY install, is this mystical code inside box, if not where is it ?
Obviously only masonic based people make these boxes as everythings a secret !!!!
Hard work.

Question from wifey.......she does come up with good ones sometime !
If I buy the box from a supplier. Not installed. I own the box. How do I get the codes then, or do I just pay my cash and whistle ?
-
Maybe worded wrong !
Can I get the codes once the years warranty is up ?
Playtime !

Personally I'd have someone fit it, after the warranty up you can fiddle with to your hearts content
And would I be entitled to relevant codes from installer ???????

Sixwheelbeast,
All supplied and fitted, except decoy pyronix deltabell plus which I bought just to put up as deterrent. They are fitting it though in the price.
I feel its decent.
-
Got price today for.......
All Pyronix
Enforcer box. No wi - fi.
Wireless door contact.
4 x PIRs.
Wired external Bell box/siren.
2 Remote keyfob.
Mounting my own Bellbox as decoy.
1 yr. warranty
Price £450. Seems reasonable ????????? Yes/No ?
-
Pyronix kit does not have ability to run wired bell/sounder. Is this correct ?
What else (of reasonable quality) can be used with wired bell facility ?
Thank you.
P.S. Ardrossan does not do much for me. Ayr is good though.
-
To those who think I am mad. I can get the system I want for £99 more than the cost of parts if I have it fitted. The cash is neither here nor nor there. When you retire, things you hated in the past become very tolerable,......believe it or not, cutting the grass.
If we do nothing, we stagnate, hence the reason I would like to fit myself, though my knowledge of alarms stopped 35 years ago. Learning is good.
-
You can probably see.....I don't do these multi quote things !!!
Just now, MrHappy said:Think he's trying to ensure we know he's Jockanese ?
Got that one right Mr.Happy

Maybe you mean WEEE?
No.....wee as in small !
How have you decided that?
No real reason
That's apparently what consumers want.
Hmmmm.
If your alarm doesn't cry wolf and you have good neighbours, you would hope someone would pay attention to it.
They won't......
The manufacturer and alarm companies make more money out of you, for the convenience of wireless.
Not to say that wired ones are completely maintenance free.
In that case why don't you fit a fully wired system, or get a company to do it?
Your going to have to replace the batteries in all the devices anyway.
1 hour ago, sixwheeledbeast said:Just feel wired is better.......Age thing ??????????
Depends on the system.
Enforcer, I believe you can have either but wireless is not a full keypad it's just for arming.
Maybe someone that fits them regular can confirm.
Fine
1 hour ago, sixwheeledbeast said:Depends on your budget, obviously it's not an alarm therefore shouldn't be compared to one.
The boxes are 12V and also you have to be careful with planning permission for illuminated boxes.
Consider are you just attracting attention to your property with no dog to bark if anyone enters?
Don't care about budget. No prob planning. Just feel as good a deterrent as full system, though more than happy to fit, or have fitted, full system.
1 hour ago, sixwheeledbeast said:I am sure I have given you plenty more questions to ask. So ask away.
Have you considered having one fitted by a company or do you definitely what to take the risk on installing and setting something up yourself.
When you are retired ????? Something to do, and enjoyment.
I wouldn't stand there then if I was you.

Hi all,
Old school here !
New house purchased.
Now 64 years old.
Like a wee project. (Note the word WEE)
Pyronix kit 3 seems to be the man. But.......................
Why do the makers of many of these kits take great delight in making technology that can tell you that your gaff is being screwed whilst you are on a ship in the middle of nowhere ??? Especially when no one in the street takes a blind bit of notice, nor do the police ! Nor would I after a few whiskies.
What is the sense in a battery bell/sounder you have to maintain every year or two ? Get it wired. You know it makes sense !
Are remote keypads wireless ?
I know someone smarter than me will give me the answer.....but for the love of me, I cannot think of one !
2 Pyronix illuminated boxes drilled through wall to 9v supply in to mains socket is a cheap alternative ?
A really serious question guys....before I decide on what to buy ?
Standing against wall awaiting firing squad !!!!
Thanks

Many thanks to all who have taken time to reply. Having moved home from Skye back to Glasgow suburbs....(don't ask...pressure from family) I now feel the need for alarm, but bearing in mind I have not installed for 30 years now, I wonder if it best be left to a professional, though I would like to do it as a wee project. Will ask on relevant forum.
Thanks for the welcome.

Hi everyone,
Joined after lurking for short while. Fitted alarms regularly until 30 years ago !!!!

Will post soon re info about Deltabell plus which I am fitting to new house.
Got that one right Mr.Happy
Why Wi-Fi and why Battery Bell/Sounder ????

Just spoke to a sparky in Screwfix. (well, claims to be a sparky)
Claims you can supply alarm control box mains from light switch !!
Surely not ????
