I suggest you get a proper one if you do it, cash rated, fire protection etc, bolted in.
Worth the piece of mind.

practice some more thenIt takes a significant amount of practice.
First thing we did when we moved into our current house was fit new anti snap cylinders, also the correct length so flush.most if not all cheap euro cylinders can be snapped with a pair of mole grips, must be loads out there on dg doors with folk unaware, ideally should be changed for anti snap ones
Not sure on Verisure but they give you all the kit for peanuts normally and then tie you in for 3yrs or so at £365+ a year. Thats how I have seen it done before. What is the monitoring going to give you? They cannot call the police. If they see a burglary or attempt they will send a guard. How many do they have? How long will it take to get there? Is your area covered? Lot of money for what you get.Has anyone used Verisure alarms? They're running a deal in Costco at the moment, throwing some 'freebies' like an Arlo doorbell. Its the monthly monitoring fee that gets me, does anyone have experience of a monitored system vs self monitoring ?
Video monitoring and guard and the rep talked about calling the police if obvious, no tie in interestingly, however if you cancel the contract you can't even view the photos from the cameras as the pictures are on their servers. I'm trying to decide if monitored is the way to go, or just a Smart system... Good point about coverage times though, I hadn't really thought about that.Not sure on Verisure but they give you all the kit for peanuts normally and then tie you in for 3yrs or so at £365+ a year.

They call the police but because the system is not URN compliant they don't have to attend and if it was a Saturday night at pub kicking out times very unlikely. It is the same for the fire monitoring. They will call you to tell you your house is burning down but cannot call the brigade. So what are you actually getting over a smart system, where you could verify the alarm and call the police yourself and hope they attend!Video monitoring and guard and the rep talked about calling the police if obvious, no tie in interestingly, however if you cancel the contract you can't even view the photos from the cameras as the pictures are on their servers.
