[Dedicated Micros DVR NetVu App iOS11]

Hi Chaps

 

Anyone got an alternative app that will work on the NetVu products, as the iOS11 update has killed the app and they say they are working to fix it but its apple red tape causing the delay, what else do you guys use or have used with the DM DVRs ?

and down to what the customer can cope with. IME 85 year old ladies usually would not want a system with that complexity. I have been to many houses where the alarm was too difficult for the occupant an d so they never used it.

Agreed, but im talking about his situation...

It's interesting to hear all these opinions. obviously the reason I'm here is so i can get the right system first time.

Our reasons for favouring the perimiter system is that the alarm is then on all the time, not just when we leave the house. With scum getting more and more brazen all the time, I'm probably more concerned about someone forcing entry while we're home. The other thing is, we have a dog who's home during the day and we like to give him a degree of freedom around the house.

I don't know what the possible solutions are to these points so I'm open minded to all suggestions and ideas.

Thanks guys.

In my house i have 2 keypads one at final exite route, and 1 outside the bedroom on the landing , Also just fitted remote control setting) but the benefit of that is you can set your self into an area, you dont have to go with just a perimeter alarm, you could have different part sets for example:

Full set - Sets whole system when going out

Part Set 1 - (Dusk) Sets just the windows and doors and omits the passive sensors, so you can walk around.

Part Set 2 - (Dark) Sets all windows and doors and ground floor or area not needed to be accessed at night whilst in and around the bedroom, ie bathroom, hence the 2nd keypad so you dont have to walk through active zones to turn the alarm off.

It works really well, but you must remember to turn the alarm off, i install a passive on the staiars to remind us to turn it off, as the missus was setting it off by forgetting to turn it off via the upstairs keypad.

Possibilities are endless really, its all down to cost.

I'd love to get more than one quote but it seems to be their own stuff they're fitting and I can't find anything similar on the market.

The quote was for:-

1 Euro meridian,

5 Sdu's

2 door contacts

1 industrial prox. sensor (for garage door)

1 tag reader

4 tags (2 included, two as extras)

1 live bell box, 1 dummy

1 days labour.

Hopefully, that will mean a bit more to you guys than it does to me. I'm happy to pay a good price for good kit but I don't want someone pulling my trousers down and playing on public paranoia!

2k for this, seems a bit steep, is it beeing monitored ? ie to a central station.... The panel is a Castle Care tech by the way, and is available to any installer.. All other stuff will also be available. My advice is get some quotes, probably better from a local firm as if theres a problem in future you wont be waiting for an engineer coming that distance.
