Wired alarm with cctv advice

[Rocky1]

Hi all, I would just like to ask your advice please on which might be the best alarm solution to go for.

I'm currently renovating my 1 bed flat and want to install an alarm system with cctv (probably 2 external cameras), seeing as i have all the floor open and still yet to plaster the walls I'm thinking it might best to go for a wired system so it saves on batteries running out and I think would be just that slightly more reliable. 

I would also like to have some home automation at some point like remote sockets and light switches, video intercom, although I think other specialist solutions are best for that side of things, Samsung's smart things  and Lightwave for switches/sockets, not aware any other firm offering smart sockets and dimmable switches as a single solution.

I would really appreciate your advice on this, especially the alarm options to go for, I've read that RiscoSys2 is potentially a good hybrid option or maybe just go fully wireless with SimpliSafe or similar.

Many thanks in advance!!!

id go with texecom elite. not fitted risco but ive not heard anything bad about them, they do seem decent enough. not used simplisafe because its not graded like proper alarms are

I'd also say texecom or galaxy hard wired every time don't choose wireless at all imho

Thanks for the advice, I actually ended up going with a Scantronic I-40H, decided I wanted a hybrid of wired/wireless, not installed yet, now just need to decide on which cctv cameras, HK-Vision seem to be most recommended so far.
