Home Alarm System

I have searched online for a GSM home alarm system and Visonic, Yale, Infinite Prime and CommPact seems to be the most popular ones, what are your thoughts and which one you suggest me to purchase?

I have rang two installers today and one said he installs Scantronic alarms and the other one installs Texecom alarms, I believe Scantronic is not as good as Texecom but what are your thoughts?

Is GSM more reliable than using telephone to contact you when alarm is triggered?

Also my house has all the alarm wires fitted when the house was built, should I go for a wired or wireless system?

Thanks

Re: Home Alarm System

If you have wiring in place then don't consider going wireless. There is more maintenance (replace batteries, etc) and more false alarms with wireless.

There are installers who will install any system of your choosing....some installers have a vested interest in claiming one system is better than the other.
