PeterJames Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 35 minutes ago, John Charnock said: BTW - I am not planning on doing this install myself, I am just acquiring knowledge so I know what to look for with a supplier. I have completed two online inquiry forms for two reputable local suppliers recently and neither of them has contacted me, the alarm business must be booming. J If you mentioned what you wanted in the online enquiry then its unlikely that you will be contacted. Perimeter external security would not be popular amongst your average house basher, especially if you drop in words like solar powered, two words that would set any self respecting installer running in the opposite direction. There are various solutions out there, we installed a system at a house in Weighbridge recently for circa £45k using similar to this http://www.southwestmicrowave.com/products/buried-cable-detection-systems/ but I would guess its a bit out of your budget.

That's fine, security is better in layers not many think about this. You will already have some layers I imagine; unless you leave your doors and windows open. Perimeter systems are generally suited to large detached properties where someone is in close proximity to site and immediately action. We have no idea on the property or what you expect from this perimeter protection system, or what the risk of the property and it's contents is. I also agree it's unlikely you would here back from an online enquiry for this type of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J I may end up doing it myself (;-) CCTV is another option. Although I see that as a deterrent more than anything else. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I am not sure how much more help we can be without answering some of the questions above. What makes you feel that a perimeter system is any more of a deterrent than CCTV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I have sensors around my house too, I do like to have them. Im using HKC wireless PIR Cams with pet lenses in. I do get the odd false alarm but as i can take a picture via the app i dont worry. However these are internal devices i fitted them externally to test.
