I have a flat which is fairly secure and unlikely to be broken into. However for £200 or so it seems a good idea to fit an alarm.

 

I have been considering the Yale Premium and was looking at a forum on

http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=255745&start=30.

 

One contributor was not so keen on the Yale alarm and stated:

?If you really want a Yale system, try this instead.

Similar price and a graded product.

I have looked at your site but find it difficult to see what would be best.

 

I like the Yale for its Zoning (alarm at home), the Communication, the

Remote Controls (keyfob or keypad), Wireless and DIY at around £185 which

includes 2 PIRs and 2 Door Contacts but excludes any Remote Controls.

 

Using the Yale as a benchmark, are you able to suggest a system for me and

also give the main advantages / disadvantages?

Choosing an alarm is a matter of personal choice. Personally I would go for a hard wired system, not radio, but there are a lot of radio fans out there. Radio is quicker to fit.

 

On this forum there is a topic titled Intruder Alarm consideration that one of our techinal bods posted which may give you some guide lines

If its DIY your after then id go for the YALE. It is not a processional system and is designed to be simple to fit, nothing else.

 

You cant compare the system types im afraid.
