Thanks for the reply. No idea, she has only been in a couple of months. Current alarm looks to be a Total 365 system.

Hi My daughter has just bought her first house and have the following box in the airing cupboard. I’m guessing it has something to do with the house alarm? Looks like alarm cable going into it and appears to be an aerial on top. Photo below of the actual alarm panel Could anyone advise...
