DIY Home alarm system(s)

[raind33r]

Advice needed on DIY systems. Best places to buy from, good prices etc.
Sure, there are previous posts about this, but they seem a little dated.

I'm looking for an easy to install system with 3 - 4 PIR's, some door/window guards, modular. Reasonably priced!
From what i've seen wireless is the way to go.

websites ?
shops ?

The Yale security shops are pretty good to go look at and find what you want or similar.

However I would check around for pricing before buying as they are not that cheap.

I bought a paradox system from www.s4s.co.za
Excellent service from them always. The paradox system does cost a bit more though and I went for the USB attachment too where you can just connect it up to your pc and program it from there. You can program it without a pc but it involves going through lots of menus on the keypad or looking in the book and typing in codes.

I will be buying stuff from s4s soon enough probably.. going to redo the entire alarm in my house.... gonna go wireless I think, even though it costs more.

The other shop to look at is : http://www.thediyshop.co.za/ they also sell paradox stuff and have some decent prices.
