Hi,

I've got a two bed bungalow and rather than settle for whatever the local installers want to install, i'd like advice on what system I should specify.

This is my spec

PIR in both beds, hall, kitchen & living room.

No animals.

I want battery backup, anti tamper, etc, with electronic hidden in loft, with just the keypad next to the front door.

I also want a phone dialler, so I know when it's gone off

I don't want a remote monitored system, as that's expensive.

I do want a good quality system that won't give me trouble.

My cousin, a qualified electrician who has fitted alarms in the past is happy to fit it for me.

Any advice gratefully received.

Many thanks

Roy

The quality of the Installation, the correct positioning of any detection and the correct running of all cabling has a major effect on how the system will perform.

What i'm trying to say is that we can specify excellent equipment, but it all depends on how that equipment is installed which at the end of the day determines it's performance. Just specifying the good equipment does not guarantee a trouble free alarm.

Have a look at the Gardtec website and see what you think. The Eurosec CP8 panel is a good one but take note of what Dave saya!

There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.

Ah! but unfortunately that's not regulation EN font or colour.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
