Those prices do not include installation Eircom phone watch is €699 off eircoms site Mr Flynn does not post prices on his site by the looks of it.

As someone who has worked in the alarm industry before you also have to have your alarm serviced every 6 months aswell which is another 100 odd euro not to mention the cost if you have to have a battery or a sensor or beam replaced! not everybody does this, the same as having your boiler serviced!

Well it is actually because i was replying to a poster who was posting about houses being broken into and its NOT EVEN SAFE ON PADDY'S DAY and i anwered to why its not safe in particular on Paddy's Day! More drink and more drugs being consumed in any other time of the year leading to more crime!

A house in the Hawthorn road part of Hillview was robbed only a few hours ago. No one's safe on Paddy's Day.

I think you misunderstood me. I was simply stating that houses were more likely to be broken into on Paddy's Day. With older people going to mass, young families attending the parade or younger folks out drinking more houses were vacant and more likely to be robbed.

Sorry but well Duh!:D

But you said nobodys safe not even on saint paddy's day, Thieves and scumbags dont take a day off they are opportunists! anyway i get what your saying dont want to be on your case or anything! I had run ins on paddy's day with drunken fools me doing my job and them intent on causing damage or hurting somebody cos they are out of it. Irish government love paddy's day cos of its international exposure and free promotion and advertising of this country, but the issue with drink is just too much!

Looking into outdoor security cameras at the moment. Looking for something thats not too expensive has about 20m night vision and is also IP so can be viewed and recored on pc, motion sensor would be a plus.

As CCTV installations now fall into the same Catorgory as alarm installation, these have to be carried out by a registered company, this is the law and carries very big fines if someone is caught. There is however a way around it, if you are anyway handy yourself, you could go down the DIY route, this is exactly what I done. I bought a complete kit, 4 outdoor 600 tvl cameras, all night vision, a 500gb dvr, and all cables for €400, I installed it myself, and have it setup that I can browse it on all my TV's in the house along with our iPhones, and laptops. I have this system installed close on 18 months now and have never had any issues with it.

Again you seem to be correcting me on something I didn't say. I said "No one's safe on Paddy's Day" and I meant it in a sincere way. I did not say "nobodys safe not even on saint paddy's day" which suggests that I was surprised by thought that someone would rob a house on that day. I was not. You seem to be having a conversation with yourself but are directing it at me.

B+Q have home alarm systems that you can install yourself, they also have the CCTV, dont forget theres 30 percent off. To install a system like you were asking for would cost a pretty penny! I have contacts in the Alarm industry who have contracts with celebrities! thats not suppose to sound how your reading it, that is suppose to let you know that they are a good company! and they arent too pricey! they specialise in all alarm systems access and CCTV, you can have your CCTV connected to your laptop and as somebody else said im sure to your mobile phone now technology is very quick developing!

Would be doing it myself Camera would be outside window. Looking at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nexus-543-Wireless-Waterproof-Infrared/dp/B0052IJQEG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1363808024&sr=8-3

Just out of interest your user name is that cos you drive a Ford Fiesta?

50 euro a month is 300 euro a year! Sorry but that is expensive, that is an expense, i presume you work for one of these companies?

Its all relative when you work for a company that says its only 300 a year, road tax is only 390 a year for some cars its only 200 for others, house tax is now god knows how much a year, so to say that its cheap is bull.

No Spankmemonkey I don't drive a fiesta actually. I think you read my reply wrong I said 12 50 per month not per week! Also no I don't work for an alarm company, I have just had an alarm installed and thought people might be interested in how much these things cost! The monitoring works out at 150 euro per year half the cost of the excess on most home insurance policys

Funny you should mention a silver car, I reported silver car to the guards a few months ago, they seemed like they were checking out our area, two days on the trot at the same time they drove in and out, cant remember the details exactly now but i gave the guards a reg plate make and model.

So a few months ago you report this car with reg and model and it's still around?

That suggests one thing to me.

kryogen

Any chance people who have seen the "silver car" could tell us what kind of car it is other then its colour? Might come in handy, my new neighbour has a silver car for example, should I suspect him off being the owner of this infamous silver car??

Roanmore

Is it a silver car or silver van?

Friend of mine had a guy come to their door (had to walk up the driveway) about 2 days ago and try and get it. When her teenage daughter heard the noise she went to the door and the guy ran away, he was wearing a hoodie and ran back to a silver van. She said it was probably a commercial van but had been painted over.
They rang the guards and was asked if any damage was done and when the answer was negative they were told there was no point in coming out as there was no damage done and he'd probably be gone by the time they got down.

These guys are chancing their luck, if the door was open who knows what they would have done.

spankmemunkey

The reason why i cant give you the details is because i already passed the details on to the relevant authorities, I live a busy life and i cant for the life of me think what make and model it was now, I just know it was a silver car with two big dudes in the front, the car drove into my estate mid day and went up and down very slowly as the two men stared at the houses, they turned the car and stared in the houses as they passed the houses by, they did this two days on the trot so i called the Guards and told them the make model and the regplate! do you want me to try remember that? as far as i was concerned i passed the important details onto the guards and that was it.
