House bashing is my name blagging is the game But pictures would help

Assuming spur is short distance from panel then they may have damaged cable coming out of the spur to panel Picture of spur? Panel? Internal of panel?

So local engineer will be a third of that cost in some cases

So basically it's out of contract has engineer reset , either you will find a way to fix it, or call an engineer or have a new alarm installed It's still a case of weighing up cost of what your protecting against what it costs to fix alarm

Reminds me of the reset thing in the mdt range , customer goes in menu resets and doesn't realise it's defaulting, engineer code accessed of course

When you power down , remove keypads and control panel And replace with something upto date a new

Non compliant for what ? Access control?

You got time if they paying dude lol

Yeah but I am exception

I still think they trying to fix dodgy firmware on some stock hence delay shipping .....

Needs filler , must be a jb subbed out , they don't fill

Wouldn't domes suit better if your worried about that , turrets still have the flat enough surface to give a problem with webs

Agreed your all blaggers

Never had a problem bashing them in lofts and cupboards , so assume you walk away if they insist ..... Only issue I see with loft is as a house basher , the house Lasher's lash the stuff in and customer never goes up to see the mess

It works well for its price and suits a budget for some But how will you maintain it?

Lately........ And as Mr swb says above

He is being serious with this advice by the way

Just to add to the public search although not completely your case but Upgrade upgrade upgrade , even those paying monthly contracts paying far to much to maintain rubbish (not everything but most is rubbish) and it's not the installer / maintainers fault no one wants to pay..... Technology has moved on

How much you want to spend geezer £400 £800 £1200 £2000 £4000 £8000 Which budget suits best , did you ever fit a veritas by the way?

Your hardcore So hiwatch is the DIY market for hik But will debenhams give you any after sales support , pay a little more and buy from a security dealer

Compatibility is normally done via onvif , if all IP stuff, if it's all analogue then hik uses tvi I think and some of there cheaper stuff might have switchable outputs going from normal video to and and tvi and so on But if you renovating good time to scrap what you have , as above replace DVR to hybrid type which accepts some analogue and ip

Seems you will be buying hiwatch made by hikvision plenty options available it seems , goto be better than swann.....

Requires codes either way , as above paragon e And twatting

Best thing call a local engineer to reset you codes, should cheapish Although I advise scrap it and change the panel for one thing more upto date

Don't be lazy man
