Hi all
We moved into our new home recently and had a rewire and the electricians cut the wires to the home alarm. So not sure if it can be reconnected?
If not we want to add some additional security to the home, especially when on holiday. We do have a ring doorbell but it's not reliable as when internet drops or goes down its useless.
Or budget is very low £200 - £400 max.
Maybe loan money to increase.
I've bought 3 of these, one to put in hallway facing front door, other for living room poiting at windows and other to point at backroom door and windows in kitchen. Don't have one for the downstairs bathroom window though.
We do have a security light that is motion sensored at front door.
How does a burglar alarm work? Is it triggered when there is movement ie the front door or window is pushed open for example? In which case those ones I have ordered on amazon will be sufficient? Or does a burglary alarm activated in a more throughout way? Dont really want one connected to the electric as would rather have one battery operated or similar?
Is it recommended to also have CCTV? Is it main a deterant as isn't it after the fact you look back on it? Can't do motion sensor as it would go off all the time unless I point it only to the front door I guess? Would also prefer a battery operated CCTV or maybe connected to the eletrics is better?
Any advice appreciated
