GSM alarm reccomendation

[doobin]

Having used a basic GSM alarm system for three years with success, I've just purchased a system from these guys:

 

Home Security Systems | Bullnet Systems®

 

Total cost under £250 including 4 door sensors, 4 PIRS, a beam sensor and smoke alarm, plus a couple of vibration sensors. Indoor and outdoor wireless sirens also.

 

I'm impressed. The instructions are Chinglish, and the sensor quality isn't the best but they all work and are very cheap. I shall be buying more,

 

 

It's easy to set up once you've got your head around how it works- no wires, just pair the sensors with the unit and position them where you want them. I had it set up in under three hours- most of that time was spent working out the instructions! I even fixed one PIR covering the front gate and set it to 'doorbell'- now I get a 'bing bong!' whenever someone drives in.

 

The sensor range was much better than I expected, it reaches fifty yards through a sleeper wall and then four feet of brick walls!

 

It texts me to tell me which sensor has been triggered, and I will also connect it up to the landline when I get it installed. If you get a GSM-only one you can even use it as a yard phone. I am in a very poor signal area, it says no signal much of the time but manages to connect.

 

I keep saying this- don't spend £250 on CCTV to capture grainy images of scum nicking your chipper, spend the money on something that will alert you to their presence.

 

If anyone here is a registered alarm fitter, they are offering buy 5, get 5 free! ArbTalk collective perhaps?

Wont work in steel containers though will it.

I reckon it might. I've used a mobile no worries inside a container before, container roofs are actually very thin.
