We only fitted the CCTV cameras as there was a spate of break-ins - sheds,garages etc. As we used to be out of the country for a whole month, and the local alarm company doing a "deal", we had the cameras installed. There very useful for seeing what time the heron comes down and tries to catch the goldfish - pond now suitably netted :)

About five years ago one of my work colleagues got one of these for his mother

She had early dementia and was always falling victim to scams. A salesman sold her a burglar alarm system even though she already had one.

We use a BT phone system very similar to this, no nuisance or scam calls for over two years :)

That had me thinking! We are with Plusnet (which is really BT) and they also offer 'call protect' service.

Ours is actually a pair of handsets called Premium Twin. I think I paid £60 for the two
