Introduce Yourself

Hi, I am returning to the alarm industry after 7 years in I.T. I will be asking you guys for advice and a few questions as I refamiliarise myself and get to grips with new stands post 4737 etc.. and your help would be most appreciated as I intend to start out as sole trader. Sam

Hey guys Just found this site thought i'd register cause im sure it'll come in handy some day, been in the game for about 13 years, so just thought i'd say hi !

Hi I am Dwight, I have been in the electronic security industry since 1998 have had a three year break and went into manufacturing, but am starting out again with plans to start my own business in the South East.

Hi all... I'm Kate from Manchester. I've just joined the forum and have already found some great helpful topics! Great to be on here! Byeeeeeee Kate C x

Hi, I've just registered as I've been looking for an intruder alarm (following break-in and theft of car-keys and car..!). As an IT guy I'm always telling people not to wait until they have had a PC crash before they do a backup - seems I should have taken the same approach and fitted an alarm before I got broken into... Anyway, I'll be asking a few questions about what to fit and if it's a DIY or Professional install I should be looking at. Simon

Been lurking round a while now, thought I would put a few words down. Been in the cable installation business for over 30 years in various forms from BT through Ethernet computer networks, Cat5 & 6e to the last 12 months on intruder, access & CCTV. Been off & done other things along the way but always seem to come back to the tools. Got my lad working with me & we make a good team, don't suppose all father can say that. Always been able to have kept busy, but things seem tight at the moment, we thought we were alright for the next few months, but the firm we were sub contracting for is having a lean patch so taken the work in-house so we are out on our ear…

Hi guys, I've been a sparky for 20 years+ (SCARY) with some work on security and CCTV systems. One of my main clients just asked me to take over some defunct systems on a large site and I've found the info in these forums most useful. So I thought I'd sign up and look forward to chatting with you guys. , Ian

Hi All, I see there have been discussions in the past regarding the 'insurance game', how it works, what cover is required & whether efficacy cover is neccessary. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask. I own an independant brokerage & specialise in the fire & security industries.

Would like to say hello. DIY installer (charted electronics engineer). And thanks already to an active forum, lots of informative reading so far as a guest. , dogzb

Hey All Just wanted to say hello again ...Have visited the site in the past but not for a while... been a spark for 35 years (both domestic and industrial) with a little experience of simple security systems ... find the site a great place for info & help if needed. Long may it last !!

Good morning. Just a quick one, enjoyed reading this forum for a while now. dont usually join forums, but this beats others hands down, really enjoy the banter. I like to describe myself as a Competent Sub Contractor based just outside Birmingham / South staffs. Lot of experience in CCTV & Access, Door Entry, Some Commercial intruder installs, mostly Menvier and Galaxy.

Afternoon all Just thought I'd say hello. Not an installer, but a selfbuilder...in the finishing stages ! Will be looking for advice regarding system selection and installation. Lee
