Help with choosing a good alarm system for a 2nd floor flat

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

I was wondering if anyone could help me decide on a simple & effective alarm system. What I need is listed below.

 

1) 1 door contact

2) Minimum 2 PIR's (wired or not)

3) Key fob to de/activate alarm

4) Some sort of notification on activation (email, text/call)

5) camera that can record images/video when there is motion and the ability to send the images to a phone AND be viewable over the internet

 

Ideally, I'd like the system to be controllable remotely and have as little wiring as possible. I have made allowance for 2 cat5 cables to the 2 known Camera/PIR locations.

 

(Depending on the cost, I might also include a door peephole camera - again, I'd like to be able to see images over the internet).

 

Can you offer some guidance on a cost effective solution please??

Thanks in advance!
