Re: Security Alarms

["garygfx" <garygfx@xxxxxxx>]

David,
Comfort can use wireless PIR, contact, and fire sensors so you don't 
need to do a lot of wiring, perhaps just one wire for the 
doorstation. See this page:
http://www.comfort.org.uk/products/main4.html

I bought Comfort last month and although it's taken me (a total 
amateur) a couple of weeks to perfect the setup, it's amazing what 
the system can do. The programability (ideally via a PC) is excellent 
and nothing anything else I saw came close. Remote control is top 
class, especially the ability to talk to people who ring your 
doorbell when you're not at home! X10 and IR control is good. Your 
imagination is your limit really.

Good luck with whatever you choose.
Gary.
