Smart Alarm working alongside Regular Alarm

Irish Gunner

Hi

Are there any alarms that can work along with a bog standard alarm

Have standard alarm with sensors but no app or notifications etc

Was looking at the Ring Alarm to compliment this. So put up the sensors on doors and windows and camera.

Would this be the best option and can build up sensor as cash becomes available? Also is there any wiring for the Ring Alarm for the base station and the keypad

Got prices to get rid of existing alarm and install new one but wondering if I can get one that has app and notifications and more affordable price

Cheers

With most traditional alarms, you can just bolt on a communicator to give you an app with push notifications. Either from the original manufacturer of the alarm or a third party. No need to have two systems. Satel GPRS-A is an example of something you can connect to old alarms and using a sim card get an app with notifications.

Ajax also offer this functionality now. Have a look at the various threads here.

Current box is from China and sensors on the windows have individual batteries. Alarm guy I use did not recognize this alarm they never seen it before. Got quote of €970 for HKC 10270 Hybird Alarm/including

HKC RF PIR/ Sensors and contacts(2)
External Bell with Strobe light
Airtech Internal Siren
12 volt Back up battery
Pyronix dual Pir Sensor(2)
HKC Gsm wifi
Fused Spur 3 amp
HKC RF contact white

This would do the job but trying to justify the price and wondering if good price?? I would like it but Miss Gunner thinks Alarm we have should do as just moved in and wants to use €€€ in other parts of the house

Not sure if we can install Satel GPRS-A communicator?? Was looking at Ajax but as relatively new was holding out but seems to do the job.

Ring no external bell was wondering if it can hook up to existing bell on the house
