Good thing on test phones is also the polarity switch , goes red or green so by can't blame installer after for wrong connections lol
I used to find some engineers get caught on the ringer not realising the test phone acts as a master so will always ring on the extension with number 3 being connected
Back to the topic
Get a new panel
New engineer
New company
Or new external dialler
And your done
Reality many alarm panels need to be changed out move with times , some decorate every 10years so a new security system every 10 is good on residential aswell
All makes sense now
I had this problem myself not wiring the g3 correctly , had to get mr alarm monkey to help me (JW)
In picture you sent there's a link same batt int or ext , you need to select ext
Then the g3 module is waiting for power on a terminal meaning another resistor
You should have bought the G2 module would saved you lots of time
Insurance is all nonsense , you don't set they don't pay , you don't maintain they don't pay
All false that only insurance approved installers are best , you only really need that for police response nothing else ,
Try and get installer who is recommended plenty of companies around
2tb and basic recorder you want 8mp
What monitor will you use?
Your atleast better off buying hikvision , can't see how your future proofing by buying that rubbish
Listen dude
Even if the existing dialler doesn't work you can get an external connect to bell output and your done , GSM payasyou or monthly sin of your choice
Or rip thing out and get something more upto date as app systems although cost initially only £x per month approx
All long winded for no reason
No
The sensor that is activating needs programming correctly as swb has mentioned so that it starts the timer ,
It's better in this case you get an engineer to do it for you , it will be worth it and he can check the alarm for you same time connections battery charging and so on
Galaxy does yes and you can assign keypads and assign outputs , so no need for whole building to go off
Not sure how it's covered in regs tho need monkies to answer that
If you have no police response , why wouldn't you still want a call to say we received a confirmed signal?
Agree arc in this case wouldn't dicatae it , perhaps op didn't explain
External dialler required , coms device onboard won't work for you unless you connected to an arc
You could opt for selfmon if you want something in-between search online
