Introduce Yourself

Howdy all, Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Chris, 29, Just got back into the alarm industry after a couple of years out working with computers, Currently working for //.National Installer.//'s service department in Sheffield (but dont hold that against me ) been in the game since leaving school, worked for several big companies (Securicor, King Electronics, Modern) and had a dabble working for myself. glad to be back in the alarm industry though, sure beats working with PC's. Hopefully i'll be able to help a few peeps out who are having probs. PM me if you wanna chat. Regards Chris ( AKA Bellman)

Hi, just thought I'd pop on here and introduce myself. I'm Andy, director of an electronics design and manufacturing co in the NW of England, also an SSAIB installer. Found some interesting articles on this forum, its an excellent place to pick up information, thanks! Andy.

Does this thing work then? How do you get into the"Installers & Engineers" bit then we normally meet in the caff!

:wacko:Well..... Thanks for all your help. Binned the alarm, bought a German Shep and a shotgun.

Big hello to all from Roger of RJB Security Systems in Bristol. Just happened upon this forum by accident! Ex-police office and have been running my own company in Bristol for about 15 years, we cover from Thames Valley to West Wales and Gloucester to Cornwall. Approved by the SSAIB as our preferred Inspectorate and fitting mostly Menvier Networker range of control panels, from TS690 to TS2500. Have a preference for "iD" technology and screened cable but very occasionally fit Class 3 or Class 6 wireless systems. Also do some CCTV and access control but intruder alarms form the backbone of our business. We have a good working relationship with a number of SSAIB companie…

Hello, Just to inform you folk that I will be showing a presence on this forum from time to time to assist in your queries regarding CQRs products. Please feel free to direct any problems or ideas this way. Best Regards, Dave Cullen davec@cqr.co.uk

Hi, I have spent some time looking round the site and I can only say I wish there was something similar a few years ago. I am a Sales Manager for a company that specialises in CCTV, Large Access and some Intruder. I have done my time at Modern, Chubb and //.National Installer.// and am now in the real world of a smaller (we like to think more personal) company. Have worked in the CS/ARC, Service (Engineer), Sales and Training so have been about a bit. Anyway, cant really offer a wealth of knowledge on any specific systems but I will try to help where I can on anything. Keep up the good work. Andy

Hi all, As you may be able to tell by the name, I'm actually a Locksmith. Quite often though when I'm out on jobs I get asked about different alarms, which one's better and all of that. So I thought I would start investigating them again. So many alarms to choose from, which one is better at doing the job that the customer requires....... You can say that the reason I've joined is get a bit more knowledgable on the topic. Most of the alarms we use in Australia are the same as what is used in England and else where, just a bit of repackaging, example: the Networx range is run by Direct Alarm Supplies over here. I've got the defaulting methods for this range but I don't kno…
