Have a look folks on the private Security Authorithy website www.psa.ie and have alook at the lists of liscensed intruder alarm installers, find one in your area,and get a price for an installation and proof that they meet the ISEN50131 standard.
Then find off them who does their alarm monitoring or back to the PSA for an approved alarm monitoring company.ASK for their certs and references.A good security company will be only too happy to prove their qualifications and references.
With abit of shopping around,I reckon the price will be alot less under the 1500 eircom price.And that is an outlandish quote in these times.

Folks,in fairness, having a proper alarm system that is monitored and installed is actualy a good investment anyway.If anything goes wrong with it's installation,like your house catching fire![has happened] thru cowboy or crap DIY Kits or installation of CCTV or Alarm systems,you have some sort of comeback.

Not to mind your guns going walkies,and the hassle of re applying,finding and financing the trauma and shte of dealing with the aftermath of a burgalry,can stay with you for years... God knows how bad it can be if it is an armed robbery.

That is good advise from Grizzly 45.
Only psa registered alarm installers can install certified alarms and only alarms certified can be monitored by a monitoring company.
House alarms got off ebay or in woodies are a waste of money and if your going to get one of these you may as well pay the extra money and get it installed by a certified installer.

Already have eircom phone watch and monitored alarm system fitted by registered/certified company. Got a price on GSM back up and they quoted me for €7 p/m with an initial cost of €149 for the installation. With prices of €550 etc being floated i think this is great value but what do i know. I give the floor to you sir how do you think i'm fairing on this deal.

Floor taken Just 3 questions first.. 1. How much do you pay eircom for the alarm to be monitored before the back up unit is fitted. 2. Do you have a maintenance agreement with eircom since they are monitoring your alarm and if so how much do they charge you for this. 3. What system do you have installed, hkc, simon or concord ?
Answer all 3 and i will let you know if your getting good value, regards..

Its costing €25p/m for monitoring, €7 p/m for back up. Was told maintenance is included not sure if i took him up right or wrong on that and as for the system i don't know. Only rang yesterday. Waiting on paperwork, then scheduling dept to ring, then for installer to call out. TBH i'm not over fussy on the system as long as its installed and passes mustar. Sorry i can't be more accurate.

That is expensive, thats €396 for the monitoring a year :eek: I do a maintenance and monitoring contract for €220, have to start putting up my prices The alarm comes with maintenance for the first year but after that year you will need to take a maintenance contract out to keep your NSAI cert valid and for the alarm to be monitored by a monitoring company..
If your house is wired it will be a hkc system.. wirefree simon or concord, depending how many components.
I dont want to ask how much they are charging for your alarm...

Seems a little steep but as i've been paying for the monitoring already and have the alarm installed for nearly 3 years i was only looking at it from the point of the extra cost for the back up. Thanks for the info.
