Moving a burglar alarm system

Question

Is it possible to take a burglar or home security system with you when you move house?

Jamie · Accepted Answer

Yes it is. 
I would suggest getting a engineer to dismantle and re assemble it in your new location, testing the system before removal and after re installation so any faults are found before hand, But if it is a wired system then the installation can get a little pricey as new cables will have to be run for it.

Another solution is to get a wireless system installed. Will cost around the same as it will to get your old system moved to a new place and re wired, but it will be a new system and can be adapted to your new location.

Saif · Answer

Yes depending on the system. Wireless systems can be straightforward. Wired systems sometimes may cost more in labour to take over to the new house

You can take the main parts yes, but the cabling would usually stay at the property. Its possible and might save you a bit of money. I would speak with an expert and get a free assessment done on the new house  and whether you need additional PIR sensors etc. Unless the new house is laid out the same as the old house. Remember you might not cover all areas with the old equipment. 

I would also consider the age of the equipment and whether its just better to upgrade the system.
