  1. You havnt set the zones up on night set, if you got that far on adding a portal goto zone setup each one will allow you to set full, part and night as the remote is doing a night set you need to select final for each of the zones you set when night set, meaning zones that you would walk into by mistake if that makes sense

    Pressing enter when selecting the zones attribute won't do it you must select the zone select ie final then press hash instead ,until you get to night set and select final

    This will mean when you walk about instead of full trigger the timer will start

    Aside of that as galaxy guy said Aslong as the zones are correct, then like he said after 30seconds silent count down you will get a double beep of sorts to say it is set

    Then if you get up at night and walk to an area that is set to night (final) it will start the timer giving you time to switch off

    Having said that normally upper hallway sensors are set to not active in night setting unless you have a risk not setting it

    Hope that helps, what James said is similiar but that is on the dimension range where you have selectable zones for part setting , I think.....

  2. I have read so many posts saying two way is better than one way wireless. Well, this is true for the middle and upper end systems because they use a combination. Normal PIR's don't need two way wireless, only certain types really like video verification detectors etc need two way and top manufacturers have identified this. Purely 2 way systems are that way because the technology they are using is limited or they are not advanced enough to incorporate the two systems. Hence it tends to be the bigger companies that do. A good one way system is better than a cheap two way system. If you are only fitting a home installation with standard pir requirements, then a two way has no real-world advantage. As for claims by some companies that they arm quicker, that is just a load of BS. This is true for 1-3 detectors, but any more they take just as long.

    Its simple, pay peanuts for products, monkeys have made them. I would not want a monkey made system protecting my family. If you want a cheap panel, buy a good cheap panel, not a **** cheap panel disguised by BS specifications. Alarms are the same as any electrical good, buy a Tekinika tv from asda, its specs suggest it is on the same par as a Samsung all singing - all dancing, but we all know it isn't, so buy a cheaper, less specified Samsung instead.

    Rant over, Peace.....

    So which panels are you comparing?

  3. How about the old fashioned closed loop wound though it so,if the wire is broken the alarm goes off. We had to do some aircon units years ago because the first lot got stolen. Keep it simple.

    This has been done with many things , even wall tamper micro switchs , and a sounder hidden in close proximity to what you protecting, find engineer willing to make something up for you if you can't do it

  4. Most of it still has unlicensed workers plenty of them about........

     

    If they cant control the kit, they wont be able control the installer, bit like your salad swerving there will be a way round it, infact theres a few pakistani companies using guards at the airport , there other staff do contracts elswhere but no sia on any of them, they try it on with everything like everyone else lol


    it means you have to get an nvq aswell?

  5. I still can't see how they will stop someone installing intruder alarms , there's going to be a way round it

    Because the only real thing that will affect anyone is a bell box making noise outside and many just install monitored with a dummy box.... Allot don't even label them

    I must be looking at it all wrong lol
