    Need to upgrade our house alarm and it's a minefield so hoping for advice!
    Would like self monitored, 11 door/window sensors, 3/4 motion detectors, panel, etc.
    With GSM but will need IP access (for setup with existing IP camera & for monitoring externally also).
    Is ip/Wi-Fi access normal for all GSM alarms? I am a complete novice to this so any help/pointers greatly appreciated!!
    Also, been checking on eBay/Amazon but would there be a better place to purchase?
    Am located in Dublin and budget is approx €300 - can this be achieved?

    €300 is a totally unrealistic budget for what you are looking for.

    Thanks so much koolkid, I was really just working from one I saw in eBay. What would you suggest is more realistic?

    Also, is IP access standard with these house alarms.

    Are you looking to install this system yourself or looking at a figure including professional installation?

    You should shop around some suppliers and look at the Siemens or GSD system.
    Once set up they would give you free apps and usage with no subscription charges.
