  1. Worst still if they have installed your cctv system they will more than likely try to keep the admin account as theirs as it is a real pain when the admin password is lost. Hence the reason the admin account/rights is not given to the customer.

     

    The admin account always has remote access rights so this means that the installer can log in anytime 24/7 and access your cctv either live view or playback.

     

    As most security products are cheap and getting cheaper the profit margins are reducing all the time. The results in lower and lower quality employees personnel being employed.

     

    You MUST be very very careful when selecting a ‘security’ installer.

  2. This is a big problem.

     

    Never mind the app access the fact is your installer will be able to access your system and it’s entire programming without you ever knowing using the Pyronix Insite software. He will be able to program devices unused and access the system logs at will without you ever knowing. No indication on the keypad!

     

    Go to the user menu and make sure UDL block is option is Yes.

     

    What is worse is that rogue ex-employees of the installer may still have access from any pc anytime they like 24/7. 

     

    It is essential that the UDL Block option is set to ‘Yes’

     

    Although security screened the fire and security industry mainly employees low skilled uneducated personal. You MUST protect yourself from these people.

    pd6662 is the Publisher document' that allows us to use 50131 with certain overides. Grade 2x for example 

     

    Thanks James.

     

    This kids thirst for knowledge has no end. Any other ‘overides’ you can think of?

     

    ta

  4. What are the differences between the EN50131 & PD6662?

     

    I was asked this last week by the apprentice and had to admit I only knew that PD6662 was EN50131 but with adjustments for the United Kingdom. PD6662 calls for a risk assessment EN50131 does not? Anything else?

  5. Yeah I know what you mean about engineer resets. Was a real money spinner for me 1998-2006ish.

     

    I only asked the question as it seems some companies are allowing their engineers to connect to the Pyronix cloud using the insite software from their home computers. An engineer or even more worrying an ex-engineer can connect anytime. This can be disabled buy the user but most customers wouldn’t know how.

    We get on average three calls a week, most of our chaps still go about their business whilst on call, they just cant drink or go too far out of our area (which to be fair that would mean getting on a plane) with remote login to alarm systems nowadays its all very easy on call 

     

    How do implement remote access?

    I used to think the easiest way to determine the Dimension was by the vertical trigger header, but some of the later G3 were built with this PCB just to confuse things.

     

    It's best to identify by firmware version :-

    Dimension: V6.XX  or V7.XX

    G3:  V5.XX

    Ok that’s a great help mate. cheers

     

    So basically G3 was replaced with Dimension? May differences between the two?

    Yes, only Dimension, Flex and G2 panels have the newer interface. The 3-X panels use the same galaxy gold program as the old classic panels. The dimension is different hardware with a bigger flash chip, so there's no upgrade path for the old hardware other than switching the PCB out.

     

    I always get confused which is G3 and which is Dimension. How can you tell?
