hi guys, have been reading through the threads and can't find any reference to Angle Alarms , I got mine fitted about 3 years ago , wireless , keypad , happy enough with it , just wondering what you guys opinions are on these , how burgular proof are they , are they a good alarm or are they at the bottom end of the scale ,…

And Jnealon told you they are, but you still question it.
Also,do not argue mod decisions on thread.
This thread is on thin ice as it is.

I'm simply saying that at one stage these alarms ( with a triangular shaped bellbox) were available in B&Q . I've sent an email asking for conformation as to if they still stock them as they no longer appear on the site .

That shows they did sell them in 2010?
Do they sell them now?

In most cases the bells will be global so that won't always identify the panel.

don't have any window sensors , just the sensors on the walls in each room and the keypad . As far as I now the sensor will pic up any movement and break the beam therefore setting off the alarm , I think.

That would mean they'd have to be already inside before the alarm will go off . Are you sure those beams are wireless ?

thats the one thing I don't like about this alarm , I always said if I hear it going off it means there is someone in the house :eek: as far as I know there is wires in behind it tucked into the wall that you can't see if that makes any sense .

Guilty, should have stuck with my original answer.
They were graded to bs4xxx, similar to our IS199 but it was because of the log issue among others that they never got EN.
While they are cheap they are very reliable, similar to the pir pictured, cheap but very reliable.
You will also not get them in B&Q
If you want to add shock sensors simply use these.
They are grade 3 so not many suppliers will stock them or even know about them but you will get them on-line

They are just a cheap panel anyway Thunderbird2.
Surprising enough they are not still selling them.

There are quite a few installers fond of their PiRs . As long as they are installed correctly & up to standard they are doing nothing wrong.

.... But it means the crooks have to be in the house before activation . Personally I think PIRs should just be used for verification and as back up to door/window sensors

This fascination with shock sensors is a uniquely Irish thing.
In the UK, Europe and the US shocks are not very common.
Proof - Siemens among others not making shocks for their panels
