Where can I get a fully hard-wired burglar alarm kit?

alexanderalexander

I'd like a simple hard-wired burglar alarm installed (I'm getting the house fully refurbhished so no point messing around with batteries, or with dodgy wireless connections between the sensors and the alarm).

All the simple kits I can find online (Yale etc.) seem to be battery-operated and wireless however. Can anyone recommend a kit? I am after a very simple traditional one (keypad code by the front door, nothing app-controlled or anything like that).

As a DIYer I fitted a Scantronic 9448 which was a nice simple panel, 7 zones, easy to setup. You can get them with either local or remote keypads.

Thank you for the reply. Could I ask, does the remote keypad need batteries or is that hard-wired too?

Texecom available at most electrical wholesalers will do what you require there simple to install, tend to keep manufacturing item/spares for years with most newer items also being backwards compatible you may not want that now the future maybe different? You can cheaply add heat , smoke, fire etc
If hard wiring run two cables to each sensor point the cost is tiny compared to future potential benefits?

Remote sensor can be bought either battery or hard wired but if you hard wire the rest hard wire the remote keypad
