in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
I'm getting my new house soon. There are several DIY systems in the market and I was wondering if anyone has used them and what they think of them?

Visonic powermax plus

Inifinte Prime

Yale Premium Alarm

Thanks:D

    Yale premium 1/2 price with Argos at £99.99. Seems pretty good!

    It looks like its a good deal, but is it better than the others?

    I read somewhere that says the YALE system uses older wireless technology (433Mhz), whereas Visonic and Inifinte uses the newer 868Mhz technology.

    I think, in Europe, the alarm systems are now using the 868Mhz tech as a standard.

    What does the frequency matter as long as the system works ok. I have been using a self installed system from Wickes, I installed it about 12 years ago and it is still working perfectly ok. Just have to change the batteries once a year.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
