Hi all, recently got new windows in they are different to what we had so all the sensors are going to be in different positions . At this stage I'm going to upgrade the house alarm would this be easy enough for a DIY enthusiast or would I be better to get a pro in ? Cheers!

I replaced all my sensors and alarm boxes using the existing wiring. There a lots of instructions knocking about if you google it. The only thing I didn't change was the main box which looked a bit complicated on the wiring side.
If your going down the wireless route then anyone with a bit of nouse can do it themselves. Just takes a bit of time to set up. But you have to realise wireless is not going to be completely reliable if you haven't got a good wireless set up.

Have a look at this video for a wireless setup.
