icelander Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Well no but Homebase are selling Home alarm systems for £15.99 For that you get a bell box, a 6 zone panel with entry exit delay. Small back up battery, Cable, 2 PIR detectors and two magnetic contacts plus mains electric charger if you also want to fit one of these for your shed/garage etc Further magnetic contacts available from Screwfix are just £3.95 for 5 and a stair mat for £6.99 And Screwfix are just tops for customer service too.

Terrytraveller Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hi Bob, Is that the Micromark you bought previously for £30 odd ? If it is, must pop down and buy one for spare parts, although the 2 Zone one I have installed in the MH has been running continuously for just over three years now, without any faults. Have a look at link below and search for Motorhome alarm system, http://www.sasproducts.co.uk/ see it for £119 - talk about rip off, this is the first alarm I bought for my very first MH in 2000 and cost me £99 +pp, and is exactly the same as the one I bought for £39 18months later for another new MH. Looks like you have sourced the same for £15.99, well done. So if folks want a 'cheaper' alarm you can buy it from Homebase, but if you look down on that alarm, you can by a more expensive one - which is exactly the same from SAS for £119 +pp, installed it must cost you another £250 in labour!, grand total of £369 - so it must be better than the £15.99 alarm!!! There certainly are some unscrupulous traders about, notice I have not said installers. Regards Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icelander Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hi Terry and sorry folks but must correct things. This Micromark MM12084 alarm from Homebase has only 2 zones not the 6 zones that the £31.99 model has. Sorry! Must be old age again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrytraveller Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hi Rob, The Micormark 2 zone is the unit I have, and two zones are enough. Zone 1 is used for delayed entry and exit for the habitation door. Zone 2 has all the windows, external lockers, PIR and cab doors are on instant alarm. Does the Homebase £15.99 look like in the link below? http://www.micromarksupport.com/Instructions/Instructions/Security/MM23084%20+%20MM23244%20-%20Easyfit%20Alarm.pdf Regards Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
