I've been asked to fit an alarm for a customer.
They currently have a wired one that is 20 years old, so needs replacing
as it is falling apart, especially the door sensors.

Fitting a wireless one would be far easier for me, but are they reliable
enough?


What are you protecting it against?

Thanks for the replies.
I went to my electrcal dealer yesterday, and got one of these:

Recommended by them, the main box can be fitted anywhere, you then only
have the keypad(s) on show, there'll be 2 of those, front and back
doors.
The sensors and bell boxes are all sold separately, as well as the
window/door detectors, which I dont think will be bought.
Sensors are fitted (generally) at the wall/ceiling join, so no problem
with decoration to fit them afterwards, or move position.

The house certainly needs an alarm, as the recently fitted front door
can be forced open in 10 seconds (guess how I found that out!).

Thanks
Alan.
