Burglar alarm panel -to see or not to see?

[r.bartlett]

The obvious place for our new alarm panel is right by the back door which is our conservatory. We hardly ever use the front so putting it 'there' wouldn't be suitable.

This is a nice view of my rather attractive rear entrance



And this is the wall above the rad which would be the easiest for access and electrical supply as there is a double socket on the other side.


So would the fact that the main control panel is in clear sight deter or attract those lovable tea leafs which abound ?

It's a self install Powermax plus if that is of interest

Cheers

do you mean put the keypad in the conservatory?

i wouldnt, too much heat may cause it to warp enough to cause a tamper fault

can the main panel not go in a cupboard there will be "just a few" wires and if its radio, send it back

yes I do, the conservatory is sheltered so remains cool even at the hight of summer. The rad could have a shelf but I would doubt that it would be a problem. There actually isn't a cupboard available.

It is wireless if that'swhat you're asking, however it's the one that's going in )

The question remains

Is it a good idea to have the control panel out in clear view?

It would be better on it's own dedicated supply.

Was anyone else slightly worried about scrolling down?

I thought it too puerile to mention!

Its a bad idea to have the control panel on view, apart from it not conforming its the 'brain' of your system and should be central so that the system has activated well before anyone has access to it.

Many thanks, I shall site it in a more secluded position..
