  1. Maybe, but we don't all have same ideas and I have been on a site where other engineers gave me better ideas Maybe wait until your engineer turns up and starts and brain storm with him Usually if I think I am going to damage anything I won't go ahead especially on residential, always good to check with owner if there happy with it Some don't care at all , they say drill it break and say decorator is being paid to fix it ..........,
  2. You said above you have organised an install , why not just now deal with installer?
  3. Confused dot com lol thread hijack at its best or your pissed in macds
  4. Hkc have them, some are not impressed with pic quality But it will do for quick snap shot Do main CCTV outside instead
  5. If it's for entry why not add PIR cameras for snapshots? Depends what you picked in the end Ring camera system and others like it rely on movement , they don't have any kind of trigger where you can integrate the alarm and them So you would have to enter as opposed to look to see why it triggered and so on
  6. As above skilz that ai can't replace lol
  7. Try local independent installer if possible, your paying *£2640* assume no vat reclaim either Access to keep cables apart is main issue , depends how much your house you want taken apart Or is apart currently already?
  8. What they giving you for that price ? Hard wired , are you refurbishing? Probably cost maybe more in some cases
  9. But most alarms will only connect to one router at a time Unless you have a router with dual path in itself I remember that I think on those old drayteks, not sure if new stuff does it Service ? Yes battery checks , replace wireless devices, check signalling , check all devices operate Again servicing yourself ususally means you will forget something or cost cutting, which is ok if you know what your doing If it's texecom Vs enforcer , go with texecom But either way you will need an installer when you get stuck, or to setup your app control Where in London ?
  10. Hard wire if it's possible, windows contacts most better wireless in my view for aesthetics and headache Some service every 6-12 months, some after a few years, some people wait until a fault develops, that's advantage of contract , they do the service and book it in as matter of course Good solid wireless system doesn't have many call outs ,except if your WiFi isn't behaving , then you might opt for dual path and gsm option addition If your not competent get your installer to move devices, most usually mess it up trying to avoid paying, it's normal
  11. Banham is just a trader security supplier do all sorts What are they actually installing ? They also install the enforcer which will dooooo your head in eventually
  12. Yes as above They must have stuff you can play around with in spare time If you can source an addressable and standard panel you will be off to a good start Although I still believe a basic electronics course of sorts will help you aswell I still get half the stuff that goes on , have to sometimes do things repeatedly and experiment to make it work But some products are basically stoopid
  13. Is there not two zones on the thing? Make them into tampers But makes sense what you say To be fair no one gives a flying..... On external bells ,when they are in and door is closed you don't hear much , internal sounders are important
  14. Scb mode doesn't draw extra current, but I guess charging three bells is what you meant
  15. I once opened a is215 and cockroach's was trapped inside
  16. Usually on the outer terminals A leg one A T T leg two Something like that And the fsl has two choices of values in the menu of the alarm panel I think, unless newer versions give more options
  17. Reading back a bit more not sure what you mean by star or series You just want the pirs on individual circuits and fsl and get whatever you need if another board is required Or get rid of smart phone and get. Basic phone ( JW advice) and buy a dog (Mr H advice)
  18. TR is tamper return It's linked to 0v as you take the link off to wire it to the bell box Op1,2,3 ususally the bell and Strobe and something else I think
  19. To much mixed up to read lol Yeah use wago in the power Reading bits and bobs Set zone type to fsl or something like that then it's two wires only to the alarm and tamper terminals and two wires for power nothing more
  20. Doesn't come with the panel? As he said he changed whole panel I wonder now.....
