It's my game, if you go wireless don't go DIY, opt for something like a Visonic power ax complete kit and add whatever extra sensors you need. Usually allow for 1 PIR sensor in each room and a front door contact..
Don't put sensors directly above radiators or in areas of direct sunlight.
Any pets need restricting to an area which is not covered by PIRs ( pet friendly is available) but usually just de sensitises detectors.
Definitely works as a deterrent, even more so when put in professionally.
Good luck

I have an ADT monitored alarm. If someone is determined to rob you then they will find a way/won't be put off. Only time it has really gone off properly was when me and the missus were in bed a couple of years back, alarm woke us up, I went down stairs to find someone trying to get in through the front door probably trying to get keys to cars.

when anyone hears an alarm nowadays nobody thinks "oh those poor people they may be getting robbed lets ring the police"
People think "turn that fucking alarm off you cunts"
so I'm not sure they do much good

We've had one for over 25 years it's a bit antiquated but still works and thankfully we have been ok.
Hmmmm shouldn't have said that !!!!!!

Burgalr that sees you have an alarm will wonder what it is you have worth nicking that you're protecting so much.
Just go to bed leaving the doors and windows wide open, and your house will become invisiible.
Only half joking. I had a French mate who in Paris always left his windows open on his car when parking on the street and not once had anything stolen, even though you'd often see broken windows on cars that have been roobed.

There's always easier targets close by especially if your neighbours don't have alarms

Cheers Ern - Sure it wont guarantee the house being targetted, but it may reduce that risk

Yep had one for few yrs.
Does give piece of mind but no guarantee you won't be burgled.
Those ones are fine just having an alarm box outside is enough to deter a burglar .
