I'm new to the forum so would like to start by saying hello!
My partner and I recently sold our flat and have bought a 3 bed end of terrace house. We're so glad to finally have a freehold property! We're in a completely new area about 15 miles from where we used to live. We knew we weren't buying in he best area, but upon getting the keys (we haven't moved in yet as were renovating the whole house) we noticed that a new door handle had been put on the front door and it only the central lock now works. Also there's signs of forced entry on the patio doors as well. So we're having both a new front door and patio doors installed. My partner says that it's enough but for peace of mind is like a burglar alarm and CCTV. I know it won't stop someone breaking in if they really want to get in, but just having an alarm and CCTV might make it less appealing to burgle us! We're particularly vulnerable because we're end of terrace with a walkway down the side and rear of our property without any street lights.
I'm looking for a simple wireless burglar alarm and have narrowed it down to a Yale smartphone alarm and a response G5. I really want one with a keyfob to arm/disarm the property to save my fumbling around with the keypad! Any suggestions of which is best out of the two?
