I bought an ismarthome alarm yesterday. Pretty pleased with it. You can integrate this IFTTT that the last post said.
£85 amazon. Emails your phone straight away if alarm goes off, also allows you to get alerts if someone comes through the front door even if alarm isnt set. So far ive been pretty pleased. Will add another couple of pir sensors and maybe one for the shed. Also using this IFTTT I can set my phone so when i come down the road it disarms the alarm.

Yes it does have limitations. If you can break in and grab the router before 10 seconds you can clean the house out!
It is hard wired via cat 5 to router not wifi. Also my phone line is all under ground so likely to be ok. I accept the expert thief can cut the line some how but for £85 this is better than nothing!
Some people might want to have this in addition to a normal alarm as at the moment I have no external sounder just internal which is about 110db so pretty loud- you can buy an additional internal one. As soon as it goes off i get an email 1 second later so does my wife. So to me this is better than just a sounder alarm which nobody takes any notice.
I might get the camera for it as well which allows you to view the house but to be honest I already have a hikvision setup on the outside so maybe no point.
I bought a panasonic alarm & miguard g5 to try before buying this. Those both went back and I kept this. The app is one of the biggest benefits as the panasonic, miguard and also the yale i downloaded looked a bit dated.
