-----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Steve Nutt Sent: 30 July 2005 15:42 Hi all When installing an alarm, we need to remember that most police forces will now not respond to unmonitored alarms and this may be a consideration for any one installing an alarm. Brian. Absolutely none, unless you want to be monitored by a call centre, which costs 9.95 pounds per month, which we didn't. There are no charges other than that, usual 12 month warranty, and because all the sensors are wireless, they are easily replaced for a few pounds.
