BT Home Wireless Monitoring System Alarm VP1000 - £53.99 Delivered

greeny67

I am very tempted with this deal... but I would prefer a external bell box I am assuming that the control panel has no outputs to run a traditional wired Bell Box?

Has anyone used the Visonic wireless external bell box like this one ....http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product.aspx?code=SEV-MCS700

As you can see it is half the price of the BT one and I believe that Visonic make the BT alarm system so would imagine it will be compatible... any ideas?

No. You'd need a NACOSS approved alarm installation with annual maintenance for that.

From BT Website: "This is subject to a subscription to a monitoring service incurring a separate monthly fee. The BT Home Monitor VP1000 comes with first 3 months monitoring included in the price. After this time, monitoring is charged at a monthly fee of £5.00."

Anyone know if it is possible to use remote monitoring with out paying £5 per month?

Hi, sorry to bump this post, but as quoted above is the Visonic MCS-700 compatible with the BT VP1000 system? External bell is necessary for this alarm system I think..
Thanks
