We used to install a strobe or led on a p.t.s to inform the customer if the system had gone confirmed.
The theory being that the when the customer/keyholder was first contacted the system may of been unconfirmed and on route to the premises the system may go confirmed without the customer knowing. Customer arrives on site sees the confirmed indicator and makes their choice whether to enter the premises or not or wait for Plod.
However since everybody now has a mobile phone and can be contacted at anytime a confirmed indicator is very rarely installed.

Haha sometimes buddy I don't no what customers expect, we must be magicians
After they have complained about the fan noise at night they will complain about the cobwebs. You're on a hiding to nothing mate with residential cctv.
How did you get on?

Does the airing cupboard back onto a bedroom? They'll be complaining about the fan noise next.

Thank you guys.
I was thinking of purchasing the Texecom premier elite 24 with a few PIRs, door contacts and maybe a panic button to have a play around.
Programming wise i think i will be fine however wiring side may drive me mad as I can see my self getting confused on EOL/double pole wiring as well as series and parallel. ( i think im already confused)
From what ive read EOL wiring is better and safer, is ther any guides out there or any wiring for dummies guides i can get my hands on and trial and error.
I'd stick well clear of Texecom if i were you mate. Pyronix Euro 46 would be my choice every day of the week.
Texecom Premier may be a very good panel if you use them regular but for someone who does not they can be a very frustrating piece of kit. I've been installing various panels for nearly 20 years but yesterday afternoon i had the bad luck of programming a Texecom from scratch. It's not a panel we support as a rule and we only have a few on contract and just my luck one would need replacing on a Friday afternoon.
Some of the menus are so basic they still use asterisk and letters to resemble options. Also they are over complicated with too many options. Yesterday whilst trying to disable an ATS alert i found it was possible to disable the keypad from displaying the actual alert but just to display that there was a system alert but not which actual alert! Maybe useful in high security premises but not 99% of installs.
Stick to a Pyronix Euro and you cannot go wrong imo.

Just buy one and play around with it.

I was twisting wires together when you were in nappies .....probably!
LOL
Seriously I bet I could twist a pair of wires neater and quicker manually than you can with a drill
Maybe one or two but when all cables come back to the end station/expander area and there are 40 odd the drill wins imo

I wouldnt use a drill personally it's not that hard to do it manually, and you don't save any time or get it any neater with a drill
Hello btw and welcome, I have a mate in NZ Ian Brand do you know him?
I don't think that is true. Not mention the amount of effort you save using a drill makes it the first choice for me.
You've spoken like a true office boy there Mr James.

My Hikvision gmail stopped working last week but i have since found this solution that works:
change smtp.gmail.com to the corresponding IP address (74.125.68.108) and the test email works
74.125.68.109 also works apparently.

With plug and play cameras and apps monitoring your intruder who needs a pro?
Only fire left for the pro and mr sparky likes doing those.

Nice floor plan. Use software for it?

I'd try and get into a company called 4i Security.
They will be the next market leaders in this industry and are technically so far advance of the other firms that they do not even install keypads!
You wont go wrong with them mate.

What's your current job?

Depends on the security level required and the risk assessment.

Well been for a few interviews last 2 weeks been to one today seems like a really decent firm tbh from the rest that ive seen, i could see myself being there a long time to be honest. Everything was offered from the outset aswell which was good, Didnt think i sold myself enough but can only hope they seen the potential in me. Plus theres a lad where i work who says to me if had your knowledge i wouldnt be sat here, so i can finally tell him i am leaving haha,
. All my fingers and toes crossed. If i hear back from the chancer firm probably turn it down, As job security & progression at the top of my listGood luck Joe

Tells the world that this "system is a confirmed system". Also it looks ****.
I remember years ago going for an interview at Secom. I thought the firm i worked for were behind the times but couldn't believe how old skoll Secom appeared to be. Nice relaxed attitude though and i image a decent employer.
