Thoughts
Thanks
for this guys, looks like the kinda thing I'm
after.
One
thing I'm not sure on is the wired bit:
Is
it
one wired sensor or one wired ZONE?
If
zone
then gr8, as all downstairs PIRs (which I have put in the wires for) can be
one
zone.
I'm
still in two minds about alarming upstairs and/or adding door/window
contacts.
After
all, why break in @ 1st floor level when it would be far less obvious @
ground
level.
Similarly,
any competent theif is going to spot door contacts & work around them,
any
'chancer' will probably just smash their way in, so the PIR would get them
anyway....
The
review of this product is quite positive. The main problem I had b4
(apart from battery life) was the alarm going off for no reason - perhaps
because of car alarms or something down the road. Certainly no-one
else
had the same system I did......
Oh
yeah,
one final question:
I
had a
loan of a ladder ages ago, so I wired in a siren attached to the outside
wall
I
have
no idea of what wires I used -how can I tell without a) getting a ladder
again
& physically inspecting it, or b) damaging either the siren, or
myself? :)
