...for the money, was the Response RE5000S.
This alarm retails at about £170. The 5000s is a wire free system, so installation is very much a piece of cake. You just screw the keypad to the wall, screw the sensors into place, put the siren/strobe on the wall outside and away you go.

Having just been burgled, I decided to install a burglar alarm, and the best I could find for the money, was the Response RE5000S.
This alarm retails at about £170. The 5000s is a wire free system, so installation is very much a piece of cake. You just screw the keypad to the wall, screw the sensors into place, put the siren/strobe on the wall outside and away you go.
The alarm is zoneable, that is, you can set each sensor to be part of a zone ( zone 1 upstairs, zone 2 downstairs, zone 3 garage etc) and you can "part arm" the system if required, such as arming the downstairs zone but not the upstairs one when you go to bed.

In the box you get the keypad, one remote control,one siren/strobe unit, one Passive infra red detector and one door/window magnetic sensor. I opted for extra PIRs and magnetic sensors, along with an extra remote control. These cost about £17 each, but are easily obtainable, and simple to install.
The only thing you may have a bit of trouble with, is setting all the programmable functions. Having said that, the manual is excellent, and easy to follow.
