Hi all,
Need to sort out my house alarm, am fed up with paying 150 quid a year for some service contract, just so some spotty teenager can come 'round, enter a myesterious 4 digit code that I'm not allowed to have because alarms are "complicated" and then tell me everything's OK just two weeks before the system goes off the rails and costs me another couple of hundred to straighten out. :x
Now that that's off my chest do any of you have some recommendations for a good alarm panel that can be installed to existing PIR's and can be managed by myself?
Nice to haves would be remote management via PC or phone and support for RedCare or similar.
I've looked at the Comfort system and think that's really cool although I was planning on solving the home automation problem a different way. I guess I'm interested in your views on stand alone alarm panels as well as the multi function (Comfort type) systems.
TIA
Dave
