Looks like you turned up here too late Yale one way wireless tat will go off every time a taxi drives down your street, you will be lucky if your two weeks in the sun this year will be false alarm free. 

You would be slightly better off not setting it in the hope that the box is a deterrent, I say slightly I am not sure if the yale tat poles, if it does then it will go off set or not

id also read up on how insecure the protocol yale uses is.

But its cheap and screwfix etc sells them so they must be good right?

Not feeling the Yale love. 

 

Regardless of our opinions on Yale (he's not asked for them btw) they are set at a price point and specific market. 

 

PJ not sure they go off every time a taxi goes past, there's 1 on my St and the next door neighbour gets taxis 3-4 times a week, I've never heard it go off. 

 

Yes in a professional world they are a poor choice but it's not our choice in this case. 

 

When was the last time anyone heard of a radio system being compromised via jamming etc?

I have sprayed the bell box black and added three letters to the front so that it isn't too obvious what alarm make it is.

Hopefully this uncertainty will be an added incentive for someone to burgle elsewhere.

 

Yale are tat IMHO, but their ONE selling, point, the ONE thing that makes them useful is that very recognisable yellow box and logo.

Burglars see it, they know you can't easily get dummy Yale boxes, they know the kit is easy enough to install it might just actually work,

unlike, say a dirty 20 year old H box or a blank, unknown box.

 

They also don't know if it's a 2000 or 2017 model as the boxes haven't changed in years, a bit like ADT. So for all they know it could be

the latest model with IP comms. I'd  the branded bellbox is the one valuable part of a Yale kit.

Most resi burglars don't give a hoot about comms etc. imo, in fact I doubt they would know what you were on about. They are in and out merchants and know in the main the police will be a no show in any case so their biggest fear is confrontation, but most have a screwdriver or similar so are not too bothered about that tbf.

 

Just imo

Funny that, customers won't even pay for a new cover to make it atleast up-to-date , but they do worry about those knight rider lights

Spate of burglaries in this road last year, they only attempted the ones without bell boxes, they even didnt bother with the yale alarm 2 doors down. But I would agree that in many cases they are in and out quite quick.

Police say don't lock internal doors as they cause allot of damage 

 

Personally nice loud internal bell , no open plan layout and lock them doors to slow them down , hopefully they just raid the fridge
