hi all, we have an alarm, the control box is an optima compact.
the house has 3 pir, and originally had the front door set as the exit door with a magnetic contact wired into the alarm.
the previous owner had upvc doors fitted and rather than getting the alarm modified he simply taped up the front door contacts and put it under the carpet.
I have 3 questions,
1) would you remove the current alarm and install a DIY wireless one ( a decent quality one) , the alarm is 10 years old and the company that installed the alarm want 150 to service it.
2) can anyone recommend a good quality DIY wireless alarm with 4 pir sensors and wireless bell box.
3) is it possible to fit the original door contact to a upvc door or should we get that changed to a pressure mat or another pir.
