    Around €350-€400 . Try reliable security, cian park ,druncondra. I would however recommend looking at the Signet, much more features for around the same cost. HKC is very old & very basic compared to whats available now.

    thanks for the reply, its just a job for my aunty and she just wants the basic stuff. The house is pre-wired for 1 bellbox but there is a field behind her house and she wants a bellbox on the back as well, its quite a messy job going back to the panel so is it possible to run a 6 core from the front to the back without going near the panel? Thanks

    Yes.. Just dont forget to series the BHO & tamp return.
    I'd still recommend SigNet over HKC. It doesn't have to be old & basic to be user friendly. It doesn't get any easier than pace enabled keypads.;)

    +1 on what koolkid said.
    I would go with the signet and get her a remote keyfob. With the keyfob it is a simple as pressing one button to turn the alarm on and another to turn it off. It doesn't get much easier that that.
    I give these out with all my systems and everyone loves them

    If your familiar with HKC stuff then go ahead and install it but it is at the end of its time and will be obsolete very soon. The Signet is a great panel but if your looking for something a bit more straight forward then I would go with the new Astec Fusion panel, very simple to install for anyone with a little bit of know how.
