Re: Alarm systems



Hi

Being an installer of security systems (specifically alarms) I would
not reccommend using wireless equipment.   That doesn't mean to say
it's crap, but I personally wouldn't use it unless you really have to.

Probably not doing myself any favours by saying this, but any
reasonably competent person can install a good quality alarm.   You
can buy any equipment you need from a security supplier and it will
all come with extremely good instruction manuals.

If anyone wants any adivse drop me a line.

Cheers

Ronnie
