In trawling the relevant webpages I get the impression that most elements of an alarm system have a relatively short life (battery 5 years, ditto sensors). That's a worry as my system is nearly 8 years old and my neighbours identical system of similar age, has started playing up and going off in the evenings.
So how long are the bell system and the control pad likely to last?
And is it really worth paying for replacement and routine service?
I get the feeling that the very presence of an alarm box outside the house is sufficient to deter most whether or not it's connected or works?
Also most people totally ignore any alarm on houses, shops, cars the lot
Or am I missing the point?
