Yale Deals & Offers

Hope not still have 13 alarm systems to shift. Hopefully BBC will do a special on the rising crime rate soon.

most of the boxes on display are dummy boxes. That is another reason why homebase is closing as it is always been disorganized. These old ladies working in most of the branches do prefer to have a chat and a cup of tea instead of concentrating on some serious work.

Still stock around alarms and cctv got an alarm from high Wycombe yesterday Leighton Buzzard has some stuff left. Oxford are stores had stuff early last week keep an eye on bunnings they stock yale but have not reduced prices yet.

Cannock knock this deal. Good find :-)

My locals have dummy boxes on shelf but were cleared out days ago The only things they have left are dodgy looking customer returns.

I purchased SR 340for £180 from homebase, thought that's bargaib

Above an upstairs opening window. have someone hang on to your legs.

Put it somewhere u can get to easy. When u gonna change the batteries on the siren u will thank me. Obviously not on ground level. High enough so that they need a ladder. Higher than someone standing on the bins

Bought this early last year for similar, still not fit it yet. Need a deal on extendable ladders, otherwise might look a bit odd 7 ft up the wall

Eh?

Possibly, thanks though!

Also checked other Yale goodies,i.e. night latch lock, automation keypad, zwave and none of these where reduced either.

That's a pity, maybe worth giving Walton, Kingston stores a call. However if people have seen this post they've probably been snapped up..

In the Epsom store now and there are none of these in the safe asle

I'm also not convinced that having a safe is the safest way to keep things safe... best just to hide it somewhere discreet

Has anyone worked out how to playback footage on the yale cctv app (android)? I have no problem through the box on the tv but only seem to be able view live footage on phone :/ . Thanks

No problem. Well, I've only set it up to test everything was working(just in case it sat in its box for months waiting for me getting around to installing it). I don't have anything to compare it to cctv wise, and I've not set it up to view outside or at any distance yet. It looks good though(not the best picture quality I've ever seen but I don't foresee any issues for my requirements) and for the money I am very happy but time will tell. Hopefully I'll get it up sooner rather than later, and without any problems.

That’s brilliant, thanks for letting me know. Any feedback on how good the system is as a whole and the picture quality of the 1080p cameras? Thanks

Just to let you know, I managed to test this system and it worked fine. So that's the 720p system with two cameras with two additional 1080p cameras and they worked fine. There is a noticeable difference between the two, also the 1080p has a wider viewing angle.

It might be a while for me to get back to you on this one. Trying to sort the rest of the house out at the moment so probably won't get round to this until a later date.

Picked one up in robroyston £94.50 (y) thanks op

No service charge, all devices connect via smart hub to wifi. The camera is motion triggered but image only, not video

Looks like a great deal of you can find it. Does it have a mobile sim in it or do I need to buy one. What's the service charge?

Got it. It’s still £350 on Amazon, amazing price!

Good deal, just bought last one in stock from newcastle. Think they still have the standard model in stock

Not compatible with the sr340 though is it?

Thanks for clarification, I didn't realise until now I actually bought the 868mhz one, it looks identical apart from the colour of the buttons.

Also Kingston branch had some..

Loads behind the counter in Epsom. I get two this morning and the sr340 and PIRs. Could be worth a call as they were out back not on display.

No these transmit at 433mhz. The Sr and Ef range work at 868mhz.

Ended up getting the pir cameras also which links to alarms, some of the northern Ireland branches have some left as I got one for my parents today.

Picked one up along with the remote also for a fiver! Thanks

Picked one of these up in Crawley today. Thanks OP

Get one, they're great!

whats your vedict on this, ive reserved one over?

Thanks for that..it was driving me nuts :D

Bottom row, button second from the right looks like a video camera. Click that then there's a sliding bar underneath the image to choose the time. Hope that helps. Works well for me

Have nearly finished installing mine now and a few pointers for those about to do theirs... 1) If you're going to use conduit to conceal the wires, use bigger than 20mm round. I would suggest at least 25mm round. The coax connectors especially are quite large (around 14mm diameter), then you've got to get the power cable and any other camera's cable (x2 each!) through the same gap. I used a 20mm masonry bit to punch a hole in my wall where the 4x camera cables come through, even this was tight pulling them through one at a time. 2) Tape the power connections where the camera power cable joins the 15m power cable - two of mine came loose during installation. The coax connectors have a locking mechanism that seems to work quite well. 3) If you're using conduit to hide the cables, use inspection junction boxes at joins in the cable - makes it easier to check the connections if you have any problems with (2) above or loss of signal. 4) Be careful with the coax connectors and rough handling, one of mine has fallen apart even with mild handling. Not sure how I'm going to fix this seeing as it's at the end of 15m of conduit! (annoyed)

a very good idea, but will it work well?? please report. Will take sometime for me to install

managed to get SR 340 for £180 today

Saw this at £56 in Homebase Lewes.Only saw 1 on shelf at back of shop. Bought the basic £34 kit.

It's not a pretty picture you paint, quite alarming :p My experience has been different. I had the EF telephone alert series but they're similar enough so here is my view. The sensors are pretty sensitive even at 8ft height for me (wife is 5ft but still triggers it). Most alarm PIRs are visible and look similar so looking awful really shouldn't be a reason to not buy something like this. However, a wired system will be equally as 'awful' looking with trunking and cables running throughout the house - I didn't want that and couldn't afford to hide it so got the Yale solution. Yes you have to replace batteries, it will inform you when that needs to happen and they last about 2 years which is pretty good and low maintenance. IMHO get this if you're looking for a low maintenance, good value, relatively low cost solution that can be DIY installed and if you want to avoid trunking and cables or builders plastering walls to hide cables etc which has its own cost. This is also a good option if you are renting and want to protect your contents and don't want to invest in a permanent solution - something like this can be installed and removed with little evidence of it being there. Not to mention you can take this to any new property. However, if you want something with 0 maintenance and don't mind the cables in sight (or can hide the cables or are getting the house rewired) and can afford the cost of a professionally fitted system then go for it - it's far superior.

I have had the EF-Series Telecommunicating Alarm Kit in the past - great product, easy to install and manage. Would recommend it. I think other's have mentioned that this one works on broadband and not telephone line (so won't call you but send you an alert on your app if your broadband is working). However, this is mostly a deterrent and most burglars are looking for quick wins/easy hits - they don't want confrontation or attention ever. Saying that, here are some tips since you're in the market for security: 1. Get timer based lights or plugs that switch a lamp on and off when you're away in the evening. You can get light boxes that mimic TVs behind curtains too. 2. Cut shorter any tall hedges that thieves can hide behind. 3. Get friendly with neighbours and give them your mobile and take there's in case of an emergency when either is out of town/home. 4. Use pebbles/stones in walkways or near fences - they make a lot of noise and put of thieves because they can't quietly creep up to the property. 5. Get CCTV (even fake ones) - the real thing is relatively cheap technology now - wireless ones exist and are plug and play. 6. Use signs on doors and windows which mention alarms. 7. If you're replacing locks soon, look for Secured By Design locks - the Met Police recommend these too. Multi-lock doors are good but there's no point if you can just bend the plastic/uPVC back (happened to me when a thief broke in with a screwdriver) so look for secure doors (these can be expensive!) like Rock Doors or Solidoors. 8. One of my favourite tips - get a large dog bowl and some dog toys and leave them near the back door and stick up "Beware of Dog" signs. That's enough to deter somebody from coming into your home uninvited. 9. Last but not least - get some LED solar lights up in dark areas like alley ways - they are practical but also a deterrent especially the ones that stay on during the night dimmed and light up brightly when they sense movement (PIR sensors). They do not work very well at night. Mpow and the likes do them and they're also relatively cheap and very effective. Hope this has helped somebody and hope nobody has to suffer from burglary and privacy invasion like that. (y)

And are they?

Predictive text on s7 sucks it well known. But my bad for not correcting (embarrassed)

I totally agree, Bunnings brought in some very good quality different products at very good prices. What I can't understand is why they just didn't get on with the rebranding - my local ones are still trying to shift "Homebase" branded stock - they should have reduced all the old stock immediately and got rid of it, and rebranded the stores. A real shame to see this disappear.

Just ordered the last two of these. One for me and one for my sister

Only if it’s written on the side of a bus! ;) 🚌
