rather Burglars!
« on: 06 February 2009, 12:56:41 »

Popped out with the missus after our tea last night about 7ish, Mobile went about half an hour later, the neighbour to say the alarm was going off and someone had tried to bust the patio door in.

Thankfully they seem to have legged it when the alarm started!

Lucky for me I only installed the alarm 2 weeks ago after not being bothered for 15 years! No real damage but the Missus is flapping big time and now wants to move.

Apparently they knock on the door and if no answer they have a crack at the house, two more were attempted nearby, sadly one was succesfully burgled.

Anyone for a lynching party ? BTW I recommend the Friedland wireless alarm system from B&Q, does the job for £200.

Sorry to hear that bud, glad they didn't get in. Yeah I had to have my shed done over before I got an alarm. I also got a dialer installed which phones you when the alarm goes off!

Hope your missus calms down, end of the day it can happen anywhere you move to!!

What sort of range has this system got?  The shed's about 10 or 15 metres away from the back door...

I've vaguely thought about sorting out an alarm system, but not got around to it...

I live in a nice area.

but a couple of months ago at lunch time a heard a moise and thought it was just my neighber banging the door open as the door swells in cold weather.

That night there was a knock on the door and the Police asking if I could help as my neighbers door had been forced whilst he was at work.


It can happen any where anytime.

Wireless alrams are a right load of old bollecks.....only advantage is fast install.

They are very easy to get round and jam if you have any clue about what you are doing.

And for less money you can get a good wired setup......more involved install but a MUCH more superior and reliable setup.

I thought that might be the case...  So much for short cuts...

I use this supplier at the moment.

http://www.alertelectrical.com/Burglar-Intruder-Alarm-Systems/Complete-Burglar-Alarm-Systems-And-Kits/default.asp

The Texecom stuff is ok, and the Excel kit is reasonable.

find the thieving gits and give thema good smacking

ive got 8 cameras round my house
there all conected to a computer i built up running on win 2000
the program i use is pico 2000
it gives 24/7 survallance and only records when there is any movement if connected to some good cameras at night is just as clear
yeah its in black and white at night but you can see everything perfect

coppers love me for it as ive got half my street on the camera's. if anything happens they come knocking my down asking for video footage of a sertain time

bit of a pain but 2 secs to burn a few minute video footage onto a disc dont really bother me :y
