Burglar Alaram?

[stoker]

Hi

SWMBO wants me to install a burglar alarm and I fancy designing and installing it myself. I've got what seems to be good advice from

but would like to incorporate a device which will send a text message to a mobile phone (e.g. like the magenta textalarm). Has anyone got any advice or recommendations about these?

TIA

David

You seem it have it planned, except I would recommend a good quality PIR which can reduce the amount of false activiations, my personal recommendation is the Focus Quad brand made by Lynteck.

We have a 'Response' alarm, which can be adapted to telephone a number when someone enters and sets it off.

I have one of these, it is a very good system, probably the best wireless system around. They have the option of a GSM module, although it is quite expensive.

Pretty well all can be, with the addition of an SDI box.

Thanks for all the replies so far.

Dave - what is an SDI box - I tried Google but nothing relevant came up.

Thanks

I think it's speech dialler interface.

A search on Ebay should give dozens.
