Introduce Yourself

Hi folks... just joined the forum so thought id say hi. Im an alarm engineer to trade but I've been away from this line of work for about 14 years though still do the odd job here and there to keep my hand in.

Hi, thank you for allowing me to join the forum, we are NICEIC Approved Electrical contractors domestic, commercial & industrial and whilst we are not a massive intruder alarm installers at the moment (around 60+ a year) we have taken the decision to expand on this side of our business, it’s mainly the domestic market that we are interested in, when we’ve grown this side of the business we’ll look at taking someone on to manage that part of the business, our existing reputation is on service and quality workmanship and hopefully this will help in our plans, we strongly believe that every day is a school day and we’re always looking to take onboard advice.

Hi all, Just in from a slightly feisty neighbourhood watch meeting.....& with some ideas, I thought I would sign up here in case there are any pointers for me! My simple thinking is that if someone is casing a joint, anything that disturbs them or makes them feel they are being watched would help to put them off. External security lamps are obvious, but perhaps ignored.... So. I think a great idea would be for external PIRs to integrate with socket-based lamps in selected rooms to switch lights on for a pre-set 5-10 minutes. The lamps could be in rooms NOT slept in - so a lamp in a spare room comes on when a PIR is triggered. Mayb…

I am a new installer for ADT in the US. Do any of you know of any US based ADT Installer Forums? Will this forum help me with installation tips and tricks along with troubleshooting the ADT systems used in the US? Not sure of the differences in ADT systems installed in this forum versus the systems installed in the US. Thanks in advance for your help.
