Are solar powered burglar alarms any good?
Are solar powered burglar alarms any good? I'm looking to avoid a mains powered alarm and this looks like a good alternative, but what do experts think?

Best Answer
"Only if there was no alternative and the equipment was well manufactured.
Wireless dual band radio systems powered by lithium batteries would be a far better choice."

"Solar powered intruder alarms are the not greatest. I would highly recommend a wired system but if you are not wanting a wired system I would recommend a battery powered system."

"I would steer well clear. Get an Ajax wireless alarm system we can quote you for it. No wires and is the first step to home or business automation."
