I fitted one of those Yale wireless ones to our old house. Piece of piss and dead easy to setup and configure.
Probably took a couple of hours one weekend to install the various sensors, install the siren on the side of the house up a ladder and configure the various sensors into zones etc
£300 better off in my pocket rather than paying someone else.

My Dad used to fit and service alarms with no real specialist knowledge or training other than being good at DIY.

I have a professionally fitted one with a yearly contract for servicing. Battery has gone on one of the wireless sensors as it happens so the guy is going to come round and fix it. I could don't it but it buggers up the tamper settings which I can't be bothered playing with so let him do it. Ive got little time for these things and too much money so it's a no brainer when it comes to the safety of my home.

Things to consider:
How much do you value your free time?
How much BWIC* is needed?
If you feel the need for an alarm is it not better to get it done properly?
*Sorry: Builders Work in Connection: forming holes & making good for cables

I was always told that the very presence of an active siren box was another cross in the box for a burglar.
The professional ones I have seen always seem to have the default passwords on.

Professionally fitted alarm vs Yale self fit
Are professional alarms much better than the good Yale wireless ones ? I was quoted £1k for a professional alarm fitted wireless, quick google shows the kit it actually about £330 its an Enforcer 32 so £1k seems alot but a few quotes are around the same. Looking online I can get a wireless YALE kit for £199, dials out when it goes off etc, its easy to fit I'm good at DIY, all the Alarm companies sent me the location of were they would put the sensors. I know the professional alarm is insurance approved and the YALE one not but doesnt impact my insurance much.
