Ive just purchased a new house and as usual the upstairs windows havent been wired for an alarm. I'm building a sunroom on the back of the house and as a result, the upstairs windows at the back will be accessible from the roof of it as a result.
I'm also looking to get an alarm installed asap as I dont want new appliances etc in the house and them getting knicked as soon as they have got in.
Now the only problem is that I've got 3 quotes off 3 different guys who install alarms, all fairly reasonable and very close, so I'm ahppy with that.
What I'm not happy about is the alarms they are offering.
Option 1:
2 movement sensors, 1 on the landing and 1 in the hallway downstairs, sensors on all the doors and windows downstairs and thats it.
Option 2:
As above and wireless sensors upstairs on all windows. But this is only part of a monitored alarm system with Eircom Phone watch and and costs an additional €21 per month monitor charge. Because I dont have a landline, this is run over a mobile unit which like a mobile phone, dials out using a sim card.
No one offers the option 2 without the monitoring service. I dont even want the mobile dialing unit.
Are they available? Can the wireless option be got without the eircom phonewatch option?
