Can you elaborate guys? (without telling everyone how to break into people's houses!) Would the vibration sensor pick up the method you're talking about? Also, do they tend to false alarm in high winds etc? I guess it's still worth putting window/ door sensors on as a) they're cheap and...

I'm speculating but I guess it's pretty hard to break through the two sheets of 4mm glass that typically make up a double glazed panel. I wonder if they'd ever bother, or if they'd try to jemmy a door/ window instead. If the latter I'm as well to just stick with the door/window sensors in...

Texecom kit doesn't seem any more expensive than similar rated Galaxy, scantronic or caretech panels. Joe I've been thinking the same thing (well trying to!). Trouble is it's a big house, detached triple garage with upstairs, other outbuildings with tools in etc. It backs onto fields on...

Thanks caretech - I hadn't thought of it like that. Must get expensive though at £45 for each 8-zone expander. I'll check out the other makes you mentioned - maybe I've just chosen an expensive system. Thanks again, James.

Thanks Scott. No I hadn't factored in the cost of the biscuits - I (naively) assumed it would come with them - not much use without! That puts a spanner in the works - though it would still work out a fair bit cheaper (about £100). About half of my zones are unpowered (door/ window...

Quick question while I'm planning my system: Is it worth bothering with glass break sensors in rooms where I've only got double-glazed windows? Do thieves ever break double-glazing? I'll have a few PIRs dotted around too but these will be disabled in the night, and anyway I'd rather the...

Hi First time I've ventured into the alarms forum - loaded with info! I've just moved house and need to install an alarm (wired). I've done a couple before, am familiar with EOL wiring etc but this house is bigger than I've done before. I'm looking at about 60 zones in all when...
