I know what you mean though.

I know you know but that's the best I have figured out when explaining to uneducated people. Better ideas?

I was hoping to avoid a holy wireless/wired war, but perhaps I was being naive.

I've had the first wired quote in at just under £1K including VAT. That's for a basic bells only system, 1 door contact, 7 PIRs, keypad with 2 dongles to set/unset the system. I can't recall the name of the Control Panel/Keypad atm.

Does this sound about right (I live in Surrey) ?

I'd expect to pay between 500-1000 for a system of that size, when you include the VAT. This obviously depends on the company and equipment used.

Just under a grand does seem a bit steep though.

Have you got laminate floors everywhere or something?!

For a Top Notch system as described above then £1K sounds rather expensive, around the £700 mark is more like it.

As Peter says without actually having seen the property, how can you realistically say if this this is a fair price or Not.

Anyone making a comment as to value, whether good or bad is purley guessing, same as giving prices without seeing the property is a Joke.

I dissagree Colin, but I see your point. Assuming this residence is like the majority in the way its constructed then most quotes should be fairly accurate. But yeah it may be a rather awkwardly designed house adding days to install costs which would add to the overall price.

Creative,

Lets say that you are in the bar with your ****mate. How loud would you have to shout that you want to get laid with him/her if he/she is situated at the other side of the room? And in which language to make difference of the background noise?

I just wonder in which college/technical university did you study RF - techniques that you are so sure that RF is better than wired..

No nothing so complicated - they are built in - For the wired approach I suppose you would have a couple of cocoa tins with a WIRE in between - must keep it tight though and away from noise - by the time thats done your beers got warm and the girls have gone
