[30yrs-on]

Just installed a wireless alarm system to protect my workshop and 2 bike storage sheds.
quite impressed ,5 door sensors ,5 PIR movment sensors.smoke detector,120 db alarm,3 remote key fobs,
sends a text to my phone allerting me which sensor has been activated.
£80................ cheeper ones available with fewer sensors

Looks good value to me. Might just invest in one myself.

It works OK, I take it? Any snags we should know about?

Thanks for the heads up.

There was an issue with folk hacking the wireless sensors on this type of alarm...

and you need a lot of batteries.
.. I'd stick with (old fashioned) hard wired sensors......they are a pain in the ar*e to install but......fit and forget
