    DIY Install: Wireless & Wired Alarm Questions

    Your absolutely right sparky, thanks for that. Will I need any power adapters for the bell or does the control panel provide this? Also what's the difference between the MC1MINI-WE (£44) and the MC2-WE?

    DIY Install: Wireless & Wired Alarm Questions

    How is the gsm kit cheaper mate? Also on pyronic's website, it states: "32 Wireless Inputs, 2 Wired inputs & 3 Wired outputs on board", so what does that mean? Could you create a shopping cart with the items to show me what you mean by cheaper?

    DIY Install: Wireless & Wired Alarm Questions

    Thank you Bernard. This is why I'm interested in going for the Pyronix as it has a two-way communication and is highly recommended, but my question was can I hard-wire the bell box and the keypad, but all the sensors stay wireless?

    DIY Install: Wireless & Wired Alarm Questions

    LOL!, sorry. I would have very little issues in installing a wireless alarm, however I would like to have a hard-wired bell for the convenience of not having to climb on a ladder to change the batteries.

    Sparky, you must be an expert, whereas I'm an amateur with good all-round diy skills and basic knowledge on wireless alarms. BTW is that 1.5hrs for a hard-wired or wireless alarm system?

    DIY Install: Wireless & Wired Alarm Questions

    JohnD, I agree. Where I live, neighbours have got a huge guard dog and all the locks on my doors have been beefed up to high quality ABS anti-snapping, so it's pretty safe. I just want an alarm for peace of mind. So what can you recommend?

    DIY Install: Wireless & Wired Alarm Questions

    Thank you for your prompt replies. Bernardgreen - I thought Pyronix was one of the better systems out there and that it didn't matter whether it was wired or wireless? Would wireless make it a lot less secure? The reason I don't want to do wired is because I don't know how to do it. If there...

    He told me that they drill small holes in the external wall and then use a machine to pump this into wall with pressure. The question is mate, is this stuff any good? Can it cause any damp issues?

    Thanks dishman. I think you've answered my question mate. I really do need to think about this before going ahead. My home is very drafty and hardly warms up. It's like there are gaps where air is escaping as I can always feel the cold coming from somewhere.
