  1. What I meant was they got milk with their cornflakes, and beans with their toast
  2. I would start off subbying thats what most do, dont try and under cut the hand that feeds you. Its hard work be prepared to live on cornflakes and toast in order to pay your mortgage thats what I had to do (Though my kids never went without)
  3. Sounds like there are zones on test possibly due to a fault or just false alarms call the installer he should be able to help
  4. looks fine to me
  5. Make sure you set the timer just long enough for the mother in law to get only half way up
  6. The smart phone app is designed to set unset the alarm when you are not there (remotely), so the panel is not waiting for you to open and shut the door before it arms. When you set the alarm from the keypad the panel knows you are there and is waiting for you to go out so it wants to see the door open and close again, if the contact is not opening when you open the door it wont know you have gone out so it will continue to give exit tone. But dont just take my word for it, go on keep asking these numpties questions LOL!
  7. Mine shows September 2015??
  8. I know the copper with the speed camera wont be there but it would give you an idea of the road and likely speed limit ?
  9. damp in the contact it will get worse over time, if it was positioned wrongly or anything else it would be open circuit all the time

    Hi and welcome
  11. Slamming the door causes the glass tube to break or crack then the damp gets on the contact and they stick together The only way to fix it is to replace the door contact
  12. Street view it now
  13. door contact stuck in closed position
  14. Yeah yeah, well I have invented a paint that will put everyone out of work, the householder just paints a cross outside their front door and the burglar will go next door, I just need to get it approved by insurance companies and Im off to somewhere warm to have boobies rubbed in my face all day long.
  15. The fact that you didnt even see the camera makes it worse IMO, ffs dont tell them that they'le have you for not taking due care as well! Ive been caught by the Gatso when they first came out but I know where all the local ones are now. I have always noticed the mobile ones, but I have not always been speeding when Ive spotted them anyway. I hate the ones on the M25 especially when they are fooking around with the speed limits and there is no reason for it.
  16. Hi Antonio Well, there are three differentials in the UK, there is the diy market, the non approved market, and the approved market. Monitored systems in the UK that call the Police must be installed by the approved market and there are two inspectorates that can provide approval http://www.nsi.org.uk National security inspectorate and https://ssaib.org Something Security and inspectorate board. Both sites have a list of companies that they provide approval for. It would be quite hard to nail down exactly how many non approved companies are out there I know of several in my town that have come and gone over the years. DIY well there is a strong market for DIY we daily get requests for help from people doing DIY on their alarms. Most approved companies can do the majority of your list we certainly can, sadly there is not that much call for some of it
  17. Hi Antonio Welcome to the forum. Technically the I would say US is about the same as us but, their rules are less secure. We have tamper circuits which are 24 hour circuits protecting against the system being sabotaged whilst unset, I have not seen these circuits being used in the US. I do not quite understand what it is you want exactly. But the security industry in the UK does have smart alarm systems with smart phone apps that can control other outputs such as lights and locks, there are also systems with integrated cctv so when the alarm activates it sends pictures to a monitoring station and your smart phone. The professional installer can do almost anything with an alarm system nowadays.
  18. You are welcome
  19. On a two way system the detectors and control panel communicate with each other, the detector knows when the system is armed therefore they dont transmit detected movement when the system is unset. Two way control panels can also randomly pole the detection and if it does not receive a reply it knows it is missing. Some one way systems do have poling but this is initiated by the detector and the control panel is expecting a pole from each of the detectors within a set time period normally 24 or 12 hours. Sometimes with one way systems two detectors pole at the same time which makes the panel think that it is being compromised, or it just does not recognise the poling and goes into pole failure. I dont believe the Yale system poles at all, meaning that the panel would not know at all if the detector was missing.
  20. still one way wireless tat made in china
  21. Hi Nigel Welcome to the forum. Please no contact details in posts you will be able to use the private message feature after you have made 5 posts
  22. Please read the Do's and Don'ts marked in red if you cant be bothered with these rules we wont be bothered to vet you. Currently as a standard member you can only see/view about 50% of the forums in our community, the rest is only view-able upon being given Trade access which is not granted to every member that applies. We try to do the best to vet each new applicant to try and ensure they are actually in the trade, so firstly if you object to this please do not apply, secondly you should appreciate that this process takes time, so don't apply if your not prepared to wait (up to a few weeks sometimes) for approval. We vet active members 1st so get posting to jump the queue. You join on the understanding that what goes on in the trade forums stays in the trade forums, this is an area where views are freely expressed and the occasional heated debate may occur. We have a vast resource of equipment manuals, information and advice, which is entirely generated by our trade members efforts on an unpaid basis. Although we appreciate not everyone will have additional information to provide we still expect discussion and input or a regular basis from all trade members. Periodically we may downgrade trade members who (in our sole opinion) either do not visit often enough or who post very infrequently. Read Carefully: APPLICATIONS THAT DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE BELOW WILL BE IGNORED · DO NOT apply for trade membership/access unless you are already a forum member. · DO NOT apply if you are not active in the Fire/Security/CCTV/Access control Industry · DO NOT apply if you have not already made a minimum of 5 posts on the forum · DO post in the public forums while awaiting vetting as this may help speed up the vetting process. · DO NOT apply for trade membership/access unless you have made 5 or more posts. You MUST provide us with at least ONE of the following:READ CAREFULLY - Scanned/photo of your ID card (We wont contact your employer) - Copy of Public/Product Liability Insurance (We will check that this is not fake) - Contact telephone number for your employer AND yourself if relevant and Yell or website details for the company you work for. - Provide an Email address to us from your trade related domain(We will email you at the address you provide) This option will only be accepted from national and well known established companies, we do not have the time to check every small company. If you are a small co this option is not for you, please send Liability Insurance Read, understood and completely happy with the above? If so then please Private Message (PM) Vetting Click here to PM Vetting Read Carefully APPLICATIONS THAT DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE WILL BE IGNORED
