Friedland SK/SL Range
An excellent range of high quality wireless burglar alarms that are very easy to install. They provide a visual deterrent to would-be thieves and genuine piece of mind for home owners. Recommended uses for the Friedland SK range are:
The SK/SL2 which is completely wireless and suitable for small properties or even boats and caravans, the SK/SL3 which is suitable for the family home and the SK/SL5 and the SL6 which act as monitored alarms when activated using your land-line to dial out. The SK5 GSM is also a monitoring alarm but used your mobile phone contract to make the telephone calls.
We consider the SK/SL range superior to similar priced models because it incorporates European Norms (British Standards as was) into its build and it uses the more secure 868 MHz operating frequency to reduce false alarms. Read More
