Hi, I want a simple alarm system which will ring if any of three doors is open while the alarm is armed (it is not for a car but for a boat). I would like to have four transmitters/fobs, and to be able to replace them easily in the UK.
I have looked at the Pyle PWD701 for example, but it only has two transmitters. When I asked the company where to find more transmitters, they said: "Just purchase another PWD701 system to get two more transmitters". This is expensive and seems nonsensical to me.
Is there any alarm system out there, that I can easily find cheap transmitters for?

Bump.
Is there no alarm which fits my requirements?

The answer to your question would be to Google "car alarms in the UK" then ask the manufacturers/importers that question. This is a US site, the average contributor has no idea what's on sale in Europe.

Thank you! I hadn't realise that this is a US forum.
I will probably end up doing that, then.

Clifford Alarms
clifford is also known as viper. in my opinion the BEST world wide and readily available in the UK. above is a link to where you can purchase and also purchase spare remotes with no hassle and NO need to purchase a second alarm system. any basic alarm from them will work for what you need. ------------- Gary Sather

I apologize but the OP did not specify: he requested an alarm and info. I simply replied with the information I have available for the UK. In my opinion and experience if a person has a boat worth protecting, they have the resources to purchase a quality system. regardless, it is the only info I have for the UK and it SHOULD be of useful service to the OP.

Quite right we both know you get what you pay for.

Thank you tonanzith :-)
It is expensive indeed: like £100 instead of £30. And one remote costs as much as the whole Pyle system which contains two remotes.
Is the quality really that much better? I tried to find comparizons online, but didn't find anything very relevant.
