Poor customer service
Review of ADT alarm by
LondonCustomer
Advantages: Decent engineers
Disadvantages: Poor customer service, binding 3-yr contract, extra dial-out charges for non-BT.
The customer service for the ADT system is absolutely appalling, and they really have little clue on the physical workings and limitations of the system. Be aware that when you sign onto the system, it is usually for 3 years, and there is a termination f ...

* More security - less keys! . .
Review of Keyed Alike Padlock by
smudgeybabes
Advantages: Just the one key.
Disadvantages: Not really.
This type of "Keyed alike" padlock is very useful, especially where you need two or three locks, having just the one key makes life that bit easier. Just remember that the inside of the padlock is steel, so it requires oil now and then - The size of keys ...

Quick review of ADT alarm
Review of ADT alarm by
jsmith99
Don't use ADT if you want a24/7 service! If the alarm unit breaks at a weekend, sure, the engineer will attend but he only carries limited spares and their parts warehouses are only open Monday-Friday 9am-5pm! So if, like us, your alarm breaks on a Satur ...

Not always better to be safe than sorry
Review of Micromark Digital Safe by
fizzytom
Advantages: Sturdy, great when working well, can be bolted to floor
Disadvantages: A nightmare when playing up
I wouldn't say my boss is mean but he can easily peel an orange in his pocket. He has a not inconsiderable annual budget to run the project but one would think it's his own money he's spending. Since he is so mean you might expect him to look after the mo ...

Safe as houses . .
Review of Micromark Digital Safe by
smudgeybabes
Advantages: Keeps your little valued stuff safe.
Disadvantages: None found as yet.
Micromark have only been on the go for twenty odd years, but in that time they have gained quite a reputation in the security industry. They actually employ ex criminals to do a lot of the testing of their products.
The company are based in Liverpool, ...

Review of Brass Padlock by
smudgeybabes
Advantages: Cheap, simple.
Disadvantages: Not completely secure.

Brass - Let me just explain that brass. is an alloy of copper and zinc, sometimes traces of aluminium are also added.
One of the advantages of making Padlocks out of brass, is the fact that it does not rust, although the inside of the padlock is ...

Advantages: Quick security, cheap, effective.
Disadvantages: Can be cut.

You can get this type of lock almost anywhere, and pay peanuts, or shell out forty Pounds or more. Take your choice, and buy what you need. Basically, you really do get what you pay for. You can buy via mail order or go online, but brass is heavy, a ...

Quick review of ADT alarm
Review of ADT alarm by
joekruger
We have been trying to get ADT to complete an installation since May 07, 4 different engineers visited site but still we are without an access control system and an intruder alarm system. They do not read or acknowledge the feed back form on their website nor does the Sales Manager or Customer Services return any calls not to mention the amount of faxes and letters sent to them.

Quick review of Avocet Wired Colour Home Security CCTV Surveillance System
Review of Avocet Wired Colour Home Security CCTV Surveillance System by
ritchieee
With one camera this is an excellent system. With more than one, if two are triggered at the same time, then it flickers between the two pictures around ten times per second, rendering the picture unreadable. A multi-camera set up using this system is only suitable for areas with virtually no passing traffic. Overall, I would say this is a serious design flaw and would have avoided the system myself, had this review been available to me at the time.

You can get these locks almost anywhere, and either pay peanuts, or dish out forty quid of your hard earned cash, you take your choice based on your needs. You really do get what you pay for. You can of course buy via mail order or online, but these are ...
