The beauty of window inertia sensors is that the alarm will activate prior to the burglar gaining entry, in many cases putting them off.All you need imo is a sensor on each external door and a motion sensor in main thoroughfares in the house and maybe a motion sensor in a room with higher risk of entry point.
I wonder what you went with in the end and would your recommend - am looking into alarm company at the moment. thanksI'm coming to the end of a house build and will be moving in soon. I'm looking at alarms systems for the house. I want a monitored system and don't have the skills or time to install it myself. I am not a fan of Phonewatch - the fact that in my current accommodation I was easily able to negotiate a €15 a month deduction in their fee is a minus, not a plus in my book - but it seems to be what most people in my area use. I would be interested in any advice about other companies such as Homesecure and Action24? All views /advice gratefully appreciated.
PhoneWatch lock their systems down so that only they can monitor and you are unable to shop around for good value.What if you've moved into a house with a pre-existing phonewatch alarm. Can it only be used with Phonewatch or can you shop around?
Recently sold a house with a Phonewatch alarm, it was a pre-req of the sale that we got it removed and Phonewatch came out to do so. It was very straightforward to organise.What if you've moved into a house with a pre-existing phonewatch alarm. Can it only be used with Phonewatch or can you shop around?
