Over priced Taiwanese crap and is only being sold in the UK because of the new EU
marketing laws. I've seen them sell in Taiwan for a maximum of £99.00 for a full 3
PIR + 1 Smoke Detector and all the other fixtures and fittings system, but as soon as
they come over here they charge hundreds of pounds for them.
Try to get yourself a proper Scantronic system if you want to go with the wireless
idea. Personally, I can't stand the RF (radio frequency) things because of the
problems they cause us. When people are on holidays, the police call us in to silence
them and stop the neighbours ripping their hair out after three days of sounders
whaling.
The Scantronic Domestic range is ideal, and they know what they're doing when it comes
to wireless systems. If you're in a built up area, a crappy wireless system will
either give you much grief from nearby RF sources because they're not screened
properly, or it will have to be set so low on the sensitivity that it is virtually
useless at detecting anything.
Have a look here for a decent system:

Or shop around for the Scantronic Wireless range.

Hmmm - doesn't sound to good now....
THe neighbours are keyholders, so that shouldn't be a problem - it
won't be monitored, just connected to an autodialer.
I thought the logisty was meant to be the beds knees due to its
"unique" dual radio feature....
Its not a built up area - a small village, so interference should be
low.
Will go and have a look, Many thanks

Is the Infinite Wireless Alarm system any good?

I may be having a bad day, but I couldn't find the link to the APCO
approved systems!

Do a web search for "Class 6 wireless intruder" and it should give you some ideas as
to what you need for a decent system.

Well my Response wireless system has worked for some 7 years so far, with only one false
alarm (lightening striking a neighbour).
Within 30 feet of the system is a very active radio ham neighbour running up to 1Kw RF and
full legal power on all bands from 1.8 Mhz to 440 Mhz - not once has he set off the system
accidentally (or on purpose) and a wired system (he thought) might be more susceptible to
his transmissions, as the wires to and from the sensors would act as aerials and pick up
induced voltages far more than a wireless system.....
