Unfortunately, those are probably some of the worst/cheapest sounders you can get! Cheap tat IMO.
I would recommend either a Risco Novagard or a Texecom Odyssey if you want a good one. Both are less than £35 or so just do a google search for em, there are plenty of places online selling the Texecom stuff.

Thanks. I like the look of the Risco Novaguard unit. Sturdy and exclusive looking. The Texecom unit looks like too many other units. little threat value. Bill Sykes and Co will recognize them and can spot one not professionally installed and therefore probably not monitored.
Any idea where I can purchase the Risco unit from?

Too true, that is why I am shying away from the Texecom unit. Too many of them bolted to the outside of buildings. Any little sneak who has done their homework will have a pretty good idea on how to silence them once in the building.
The Risco unit is a little different. Adds a degree of uncertainty. That can only be a good thing.
Must admit if I had the cash I would get a brand new system installed, but like so many others the goverment has taxed me into submission!

You said

No it does not.
No alarm company installs a system without having their name on the sounder.

might as well put a Yale branded box up - then it would say "DIYer"
I'm not beyond a little 'Invention'
So long as I don't use a genuine company name and make sure the stencilling is of professional quality - it's not a problem.and that's part of the perceived security a made up name gives.

Do you honestly think the crims. around your area don't know who are real and who are not?
Just accept that a 'home made box' is just that - Home made.
Yep, the security warehouse sells 2 of the Risco bells, the Nova 2 (the vertical one) and the Nova 6 (the triangular one).
They are both pretty similar apart from the Nova 2 has a more visable strobe light (the bit that flashes when it's ringing) but the Nova 6 is slightly louder due to it has an additional sounder.
Both excellent units in my experience. Go for the Nova 6 with a red backplate if you want highly visable flashing "comfort" LEDs, probably the brightest on the market!

Well, look at it from this perspective, What ever I do, It can't be worse than what I have now. Even though it is a professionally installed system, the number on the box is obviously no longer in use. The box is faded and it all leads to the impression that the system is not maintained.
It's got to go!
