  1. The Chinese one does but its ugly as fook http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wireless-WiFi-Remote-Video-Door-Bell-Phone-Rainproof-Doorbell-Home-Security-UK-/252036309805?hash=item3aae88e32d:g:c-oAAOSw9N1Vpw6F
  2. I purchased one of these but it didnt work that well for me so I sent it back, I then purchased the Chinese version that worked much better for a while, then stopped. I put a wifi amp close to the doorbell and its been fine ever since, I think the Ring would have worked better with the amp too.
  3. Some of them mean fields per second not frames 25 frames is realtime. Women and Germans are impressed by big numbers so thats why manufacturers like to put high numbers on stuff
  4. We have motion detect on with 5 fps with pre motion and 8 on full motion, the recorder is recording all the time but saves 10 secs pre motion @5fps and then jumps to 8fps
  5. They dont quite work the same as Galaxy, all keypads make the arm/disarm noises regardless of the area.
  6. But you paid for a security system and you were happy with the volume when it was installed, it wasnt the installer fault you had a baby.You could ask the installer to change the engineer to a default code. However, I would advice against meddling with the programming of your system, the programming is a large part of what you paid for when you had the system installed. It isnt that hard for a trained engineer to coc up the programming, and so you may end up paying two callouts one to default the code the other to program the system again
  7. The installer is the only one who knows it, its unlikely he will tell you what it is as it will leave all the ret of his customers vulnerable, if you want tro reduce the noise on the cheap tape a cushion over the speaker
  8. We have been using the 1070 for over two years now and would say it spot on, areas are a bit dodgy apart from that its a great bit of kit
  9. I always thought that, but its a different story when you get there. I have been lucky enough to see this industry from three sides, an Indian, a Squaw, and a Chief, and being a Chief is no different from being an Indian apart from the problems and misery is ten fold. But.....should I survive to retirement Ill have more funds than most , but knowing my luck by then someone will have invented a paint that disperses burglars and my co will be worth nothing.
  10. Gaz will love this but I blame Thatcher LOL
  11. LOL you're beginning to sound like the OP Yeah its really easy anyone that seen a picture of an alarm can start their own business
  12. I admire your guts, but remember 4 out of 5 new businesses fail in the first year. Gaz is giving you good advise, my first business failed miserably, and I had over ten years experience before I went it alone again, I had managed other peoples businesses for several years too, 14 years on and I am still learning new stuff
  13. I have always known it but sometimes idiots are hard to spot, and even though you believe that everyone should have a chance, But dont just take my word for it ask any employer here, we have all employed an idiot or two, the last idiot I employed has gone on to work for four more employers, and he has been with the last one for nearly a year now, they must know he's an idiot by now it only a matter of time
  14. Yes your right Gaz, but sometimes you employ an idiot that lies his way through the interview, and it takes a while to find out he's an idiot because one you dont want to believe that your that stupid to take on an idiot, two he is quite good at covering his tracks he may be an idiot but that doesnt mean he is stupid, if he was an idiot and stupid you would have spotted that straight away in the interview, and lastly if you are a nice boss you will give him the benefit of doubt, and a chance to prove you wrong. But I will never employ someone with those traits again which doesnt mean I wont employ another idiot but the idiot wont be as much of an idiot
  15. Turnover is nothing we could all be busy fools you need to make profit not turnover I assumed it was the one he quoted
  16. I said Most Gaz, you are probably the exception, and everytime I have lost an engineer I have got a better replacement ....though in some cases that wasnt hard
  17. Are you sure that the readers are not multi format readers? I think you will find they can read Mifare
  18. Everyone is replaceable and usually by someone better, because the boss learns from his mistakes and knows what to look for, a good business is ever evolving. That said I have yet to find the perfect employee, most are successfully running there own businesses
