don't want to be a slave to the engineer that installs it. Just a
basic bell box and a probably impact sensors front and back.
Security lighting required at the back but I want to avoid the huge
floodlight types. Would be nice if the sensitivity could be controlled
by remote from indoors perhaps?
Basically, I'm just trying to stop someone buying the first alarm they
see. TIA

Veritas are IMHO not too bad alarms.

Not sure about the lighting though. How big an area is it covering.


Yes, we had one of those for years, but didn't bother with it after we
got a cat. ISTR the guy who fitted was some kind of genius at hiding wiring.
The wireless type seem quite reliable these days but having so many
things with batteries to replace could become a pain, especially the
siren box. Alright if you can fish it in through the window I suppose,
but does the average person want to get up a ladder to change a battery?
The thinking seems to be that a box on the wall is enough to deter the
average scrote.
