Thinking of buying this as it seems like a lot of kit for the £.
The system seems to be the Yale Smart Alarm SR-340, however this is the PLUS version so you get 2 key fobs and an extra smart plug thrown in - see full list of items below:
1 x Smart Hub 1 x Siren 1 x Dummy Siren 2 x PIR Motion Detectors 1 x PIR Image Camera 2 x Door/ Window Contacts 2 x Smart Plugs 1 x Key Pad 2 x Key Fobs Fixing Pack Batteries
Per my Google searches (etc.) the price is amazing given what the below as charging for the NON PLUS kit:
So all in all I think this is a good price but I'm open to being shown the light by all you HUKDer's - please provide a link to a better deal for the same product when you vote cold! :laughing:
Here's the blurb for the features:
- Control via Smartphone - Arm/disarm and configure your alarm anytime, anywhere via your smartphone. Email and text alert when the alarm is triggered. - Remote Viewing - PIR Image Camera captures images and displays on Smartphone - Remote Control - Power Switch, turn home appliances on and off from your Smartphone868MHz Technology - Yale uses a frequency that is tightly controlled, meaning a clearer channel with less interference. - Pre-Linked - Yale Smart Home Alarms come with components already linked to the Smart Hub.

I have this alarm. Brilliant bit of kit. I have the photo sensors, 1 covering the front door and one covering the kitchen. So many times the Mrs forgets to disarm it and my phone goes nuts saying the alarm has been triggered and then a photo of the Mrs looking all dopey on my phone. *

How does the SmartPhone Alarm operate if my broadband goes down? If your alarm disconnects from the Internet for any reason, it will temporarily cease to alert you via email and/or SMS when triggered. The email and SMS function is only intended as a secondary alert; until the broadband connection is reinstated, the system will continue to alert to intrusion via its primary method: a siren sounding.
Return To Top
How does the SmartPhone Alarm operate if there is a powercut? If the router has no power, then the user will not be sent an SMS or email alerting of an intrusion, as they usually would be. However, the panel on the alarm system has a back-up battery to ensure continued operation during a power outage, via its primary method of alert (a siren sounding). The email and SMS function is only intended as a secondary alert; until the power is reinstated, the system will continue to alert to intrusion in its primary function as an auditory alarm.
Return To Top
What if there is no mobile coverage to notify me by SMS or email when my alarm is triggered? The system will still sound its siren (its primary method of alert), regardless of whether you receive SMS or email notification.
Return To Top
Will the system call me when the alarm is triggered? No. The Smart Phone Alarm system alerts to intrusion primarily through its auditory siren, while email and SMS notifications are a secondary precaution*. You can set up VIP mail (iOS) and Priority mail (Android) so that your phone will give a full ringtone upon receiving an email from [email protected] * Please Note: Due to network traffic or weak mobile signal, users may experience a delayed or lost SMS message. This is only intended as a secondary method of alert.

Very easy, no wiring etc. however, please review the link to the user manual above and see if the steps look challenging to you as I appreciate that what could be easy/DiY for one person might be rocket science for another. Cheers
