Introduce Yourself

Engineer by trade, part time DIYer .... Avid fisherman, novice photographer.

Just a quick hello to the community. I am a service/install engineer for a company based mainly in essex and London. Most of my work is in nhs/mental health hospitals and council buildings. Been doing it for 12 years and genuinely enjoy working in the industry. My company are rather stingy when it comes to paying for training so I'm constantly trying to learn and better myself and have self funded several courses to give me a better knowledge base.

Hi guys i have been a member for some time but seem to have lost touch with this community however i am looking for some specific information regarding problems with sky pstn and extended sia format signalling. Anyway as i could do with trade access (having been in the industry for 20 + years) It appears an exisitng member need to second me? I work in Northampton and most installers probably know me from Gardiner Security so get in touch i need your help. Dave

national installer, mostly south UK and wales. mainly sub-contracting on national projects. IP CCTV / Door Access / Alarms / full intergration solutions / networked alarm reporting. nearly 12 years in the game. working closely with another sub-contractor.

Hi my names Martin and I have a company called advanced protection. I have worked in the intruder and CCTV industry for over 15 years. I cover a 20 mile radius of Swansea South Wales as I like to keep my customers local to me.

Hi all, Thought I'd join this forum as I've been working in alarms for 3 years, I'm 24 years old and have a good understanding of pricing/ installations and system faults. I was an installation engineer for a year, then a service and breakdown for the next two. My favourite alarm panel is Texecom (Premier and Veritas) During the time of being a breakdown engineer I learnt Menviers, Honeywell (Galant and Galaxy), Aritech, Scantronic and Ademco. I also doddled in CCTV and door access. I now work as a resolve technician, giving help over the phone and sending the call out engineer if an attendance is required.

I have been in the Fire Alarm / Suppression industry for 26 years on the design side of the business in the US.

Howdy.... I was a Security installer about right years ago with a self employed engineer dealing with large commercial installs, mainly Tesco before the recession .... Now back with a local firm and glad to be getting back on the tools. Main strong point for me is Galaxy, looking to learn more on fire Michael!

Hi everyone. I'll introduce my self I'm Daniel and I run a Electrical installation company as a two man band. Plus a subcontractor who helps me out when im too busy. I am NIC EIC APPROVED CONTRACTOR and been in business since 2010. I have fitted different security alarms over the years. But I'm not confident enough navigating through them if I have been to my own panel for a long time. Wish I stuck to one panel every time so it would be easier for me to master it. I put in two panels a year because I don't advertise it. I think the panels I use are a bit too basic and lack features. (Micky Mouse comes to mind) I've fitted the following so in order as the years have …
