Few houses of types E & D are even 120-140 lenght... long porch type..

Which is Type E & D? I do saw some units which have really long car porch, perhaps that's the one u r talking about, 120-140 @.@

when the people say the house size is 25"x75" for example..does that mean the 75" is including the porch?..I always thought its not

75 is from end to end include porch, if not.... wow..... the house will be damn big, coz porch takes up a lot of space Any 25X75 configuration units in DA?

included..that's the perimeter of the land you own.. from your gate till the perimeter fencing at the back i believe.

My parent's house we used to stay-in was 24' x 120'.....

Yes. TypeE is 3 storey long porch an typD is for the 2 storey.

Got myself approved in the DA Closed Group. Hopefully its much better than the Open Group, if you know what I mean...

To those who might be keen to get ADT installed for their homes do buzz me.

Managed to get hold of an awesome installer who is giving really good discounted deals if the package is taken from them.

The more we can get to commit the more discount we can expect.

Please share the details, thanks...

Purchasing house in KL & Penang is different.
KV - normally ask land size
Penang - normally ask building length (wall to wall, excluding porch)

KV - Built up normally refers to gross bu
Penang - Built up normally refers to nett bu (excluding patio, porch etc)

If people says the house size in KL, it shd mean land size. If in Penang, it means building length.
To achieve gross bu of >2000sf, building length for ordinary 20'x70', 22'x75' is normally range fr 45' - 48'.
In old Tmns, there are house with 30'-35' in length only, it indirectly indicates that the general bu is very small, less than 1500sf.

The RM299 ADT Promo Package (the normal package that all ADT Installers offer)
1.Magnetic Contact (2)
2.Motion Sensor (1)
3.Indoor Sirens (1)
4.Control Panel & Keypad (1)
5.Decal (2)

Additional Items

1. Vibration Sensor - 1 Point RM80
2. Magnetic Sensor - 1 Point RM70
3. Lightning Isolator - 1 Unit RM80 (Normal rm150)
4. Outdoor Siren - 1 Unit RM180

The price stated are all 'on-paper' price. Apparently it can be further reduced. Atleast that's what my Installer said.

How much is installation - hacking with wires in conduit?

Is there a monthly fees from ADT?

The RM299 + the add-on price is apparently including installation (can't really confirm on this)

The monthly fees starts from RM75 onwards depending on what package you opt for.

The installation supposedly is the normal type with wire covers and is not the hacking + conduit type I think. That would incur more cost definitely.

Thanks for the info.

The last I checked was with a Paradox installer, it will cost about RM2.3k for installation (hacking included but sealing is by your own contractor) for SP5500 (10 vibration sensors, 5 magnetic sensors, 2 keypads, 1 motion sensor, 1 indoor and outdoor siren, 1 plug-in voice dialer). If you add RM350 can upgrade to SP6000 (supposedly better panel+can upgrade more zones, etc) and for additional motion sensors RM150 each. Magnetic and vibration sensors almost cost the same as ADT.

There is no monthly fees for Paradox.

As mentioned on my earlier posts - Paradox, Blugard are all well recognized brands in the alarm industry. Some may opt not to go for the Monthly Fees tied-up solutions and some may opt for it (like ME). An additional hundred bucks or so monthly to know that you have your property's security & safeness monitored by another entity apart from you is bearable for me.

It just gives me just that tad bit of extra safeness knowing I have an renowned Alarm & Security Surveillance in my property.

I am meeting the Installer today, will definitely ask him for a good package if at all we get the systems from him in bulk purchase. Will keep you guys posted.

Well, will weigh the options when we have feeback from you. I am still pondering on which alarm to install and use.

Still, excellent sharing...

No worries.

Weigh every options you have. Not everyone would opt for the same solutions.

BTW, was in DA yesterday and saw a lot of houses (those near to U16/39) with ADT. Even saw an ADT advert on one of the lamp posts.

Only a couple of houses were with Paradox.

Well apart from the whole Alarm & Security debacle. I think the tie & relationship between the neighbors are also as important as the alarm solution that we are intending to get right?

I am always open to have a Neighborhood Watch group setup for the FL phase if the feedback & co-operation is there.

No offense to the other phases yea guys....but I just feels its more secure & effective to have a Phase-based Neighborhood Watch group. We can definitely setup for all the phases but bearing in mind that DA is quite BIG in terms of area covered - the more effective solution is to go by parcel blocks.

Just my 2 cents....
