    Hi and welcome Just be aware this is a UK forum and tech varies from country to country.

    Hi Mark Welcome

    They claimed compliance, but its self certificated which is a bit like your local tyre garage claiming its Ferrari authorised

    Welcome to the forum, the UK security industry has been somewhat slow on IP based and smart integration stuff apart from maybe CCTV. It may have something to do with manufacturers being worried about opening systems up to further compromise. (If its not connected to the internet it cant be easily hacked) We are beginning to catch up now though.

    I had a similar conversation to this with somone that moved into a shop with our alarm. It was activating and they couldnt stop it. I offered to send someone they refused to pay for the call. They had a Verisure alarm and was saying we dont have this problem with their system, they didnt like it when I implied then nor will the burglar

    Thats how we would have to do it, there is no magic solution. You may find if it hasnt been serviced for a long time that the battery in the box is dead in which case you want need to annoy the neighbors

    A SAAB is a car, did you mean SAB ? Do you know where the panel is ? The false alarm will be caused by the system not being serviced, knackered batteries etc. If you down power the system and the external sounder doesnt sound you're in luck otherwise you will have to get up to that and disconnect it first

    Ive just purchased one of these theyre very compact and work well. I have bigger ratchet one too but I wanted to compact my tools to a smaller bag and this one it perfect

    try turning the exit vr down

    Manuals area is trade only, normally you will have 4 wires going the the door contact two will be circuit the other two will be tamper. Looking at the age of that panel when was it last serviced ? Has the battery been replaced within the last 4 years?

    If you speak to your inspectorate they will have a template you can work from

    No hostility just pointing out this is not facebook, we dont give out engineer codes here for the same reason we dont give out engineering manuals.

    This isnt facebook!

    On how many come up, it depends on the direction of the joists if theyre going the right way just a few need to come up. Old boards can become damaged when lifted if you are wanting to sand boards that may need to be lifted and not use floor coverings, you will need to consider carefully if wireless might be a better option. Engineers will do their best not to damage the boards, but its never that simple.

    Coming back to this, does anyone know if the heat battery Solo is not as good as the mains Solo? I have 2 mains Solo's and 4 battery ones, one of my moany engineers keeps saying that we need mains more heat testers as the battery ones are not good enough to test high heats

    I was on holiday in sitting in a cafe in Cheddar Gorge a few years ago watching a chap installing an alarm system in the building opposite. He used a measuring tape to work out where the bell would come out, he drilled the hole and still came out in wrong place right in the centre of a molding. Ive always drilled by eye using common sense and judgement and normally the hole is where I predict it will be, I did a video doorbell for a neighbour once, I was a bit tipsy at the time (Sunday afternoon half a bottle of red), every hole drilled was perfect. He still talks about how I installed his video doorbell drunk

    If you have wifi version then its a simple case of switching on the sim, if you dont have either then its a case of plugging in a module. Im probably the only NSI gold company here that covers South London Al-Yeti covers South London but he is not accredited
  22. PeterJames
    You look after one!

    Im not a fan of either but I hear less people complaining about the Texecom app going down on the FB forums
  24. PeterJames
    You can but its not recommended Price for what your getting sounds a little expensive, but there are a few unknowns like parking and any other misc charges.
  25. PeterJames
    Its hard to give a price without seeing the property and whats involved, did they give you a proper specification detailing what and where items will be installed. Its not unusual for companies not to do the fused spur as officially you have to certify them. (From your original post I forgot to add it to my first reply) The panel does let you know when the batteries are low. Al-yeti and I both cover South London, Al-yeti may be your better bet though as we are quite busy. Neither of us sell Texecom though, only HKC.
