Introduce Yourself

Just tipping my hat and saying hi. 18 months in the trade as a service eng for a national firm (clue is in the screen name ) covering the very far frozen north. Mostly doing intruder with the odd bit of cctv (the colour picture is a real novelty), access is very thin on the ground and moving into fire shortly. Feel like I'm starting to get a handle on most of the stuff but you can never know too much so hopefully you folk will be able to fill in the gaps. My previous is nearly 25 years in electronics and telecoms with the countrys No1 air to ground expolsive ordinance delivery company.

Hi, My name's Steve. I thought this might be a useful place to pick peoples brains on security systems. Hope I'm right!

Hullo, As you can tell, my name's Phil and I'm a newbie here. I'm a recent addition to the CCTV world, started working for Dedicated Micros in Manchester about 2 months ago. I come from a Telecoms/IT bacground so this is a huge change. Slowly learning the differences between the 15 different variants of Digital Sprite 2 Interested in all aspects of security, makes life so much easier when you understand what a customer wants to do rather than having to ask every few seconds - "Sooo, what's one of them then?".

Been missing from the site since joining last year so ii hope all is well !! Renovating my house is the reason for absence!! Have case wired for intruder, cctv, video entry, IRS the lot!! Bought the scanny 96 with the NEW fancy Keypad !! Have you seen it???? just learning the fire industry at the moment as no experience previously, feeling nervous about the first 24/7 call !!! I BET YOU ALL REMEMBER YOURS

Just an introduction, I recently started working for //.National Installer.// in Edinburgh as a Service Engineer. Previously installed and maintained Warden call, Nurse call and Door Entry equipment. Done a bit of sub-contracting work for Attendo and IESS around Scotland. Thats about it really. If there are any other //.National Installer.// engineers out there drop me a PM.

Well, I'm sttiing here surrounded by builders (new extention being built) so I decided to get away and explore thise site. Posted a few times. Very helpful replies ... thanks all. Me? Former electronics engineer in a former life. One of my main hobbies ... building PCs and fixing them up when they get infected with malware of various kinds. I help out on some other "malware removal" sites. Anyone infected with stuff they don't want and didn't ask for? Let me know and I'll see what I can do to help.

hi all just wanted to drop in and say hello B)

Good afternoon! I Dubrovskiy Dmitriy. I work in companies BUG-BALT which releases the product for monitoring protected object. I shall organize the dealer network on sale of our product in europe and asia.

Hello, My names Neal and living in Burnley, Lancashire. I had my own security business, NP Security Services based in my town which did well for a short time but I lacked the confidence to ring people and sell myself! I had experience in the security side, not the selling side. I decided to give it all up and just focus on promotion in security with an established and decent company. Anyhow, working for a very good company now and prospects good so see how things go.

Just thought i'd say hi. i was going say hi earlier but my HD died in my laptop and i'm just back up and running. Might be while before i post again - lots of reading to do first!! then i'll ask the questions Bit of background on me - currently going through a career change from industrial chemist and starting up as a cctv installler, done a few projects but still learning.

Hi guys, I just joined up and ive already had some great advice. I do a lot of 'special projects' which are loosely based around the security industry! I've spent a fair few years in the security industry going back to the days of the Bentley Symphony stuff ans when Cooper Menvier were still called Tunstall

Adam, 19, Lincoln In more detail: Finished school last year with A levels, had planned to get an apprenticeship to train as a sparky, unfortunaly due to the rareity of them it didn't happen , still, looking at going to college next year to do C+G 2330, and then get some onsite experience by offering to work free of charge and go from there. Anyway, I'm here because this industry interests me as well, I guess eventually it would be nice to work for a company that did both alarms and electrics, but if I had to pick one, its electrics I really want to train for and get into. Oh, and I might be seeking a bit of DIY advice about the alarm at home
