RE: Comments please on quote for alarm installation

["Paul Gordon" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just to put this into perspective, I paid (IIRC) something in the order of
=
about =A31500 for a complete Comfort install which included:
=20
Comfort panel
1 keypad
1 doorstation
2 smoke detectors
8 PIRs (1 of which is dual-tech)
1 panic button
Internal sounder
External sounder
1 VCR IR cloner
Comfort phone ringer module
Comfort serial module (pre UCM!)
=20
All fitting, cabling, and system commissioning.
=20
Admitedly, the cablinq was quite simple, since I told the guys they could
j=
ust surface run everything, since I was about to have the whole house
repla=
stered. From memory, the total price worked out not far off about 50:50
bet=
ween the hardware and the fitting...
=20
Personally, I think =A34500 is *way* too much for an alarm install....
=20

Are they wiring for this money too ?

Scary amount of money in my opinion, we dont get close to that sort of
pric=
e with the biggest of systems.

We use Scantronic or Ademco panels ,upto 32 zones.

Looking at your list i'm assuming a possible max of 24zones, if windows on

seperate circuits.

With regard to monitoring we use Scotts Intamac system - www.intamac.com,

e have about 20 installed systems running on it and customers love it.
