  1. Sounds like the detectors are chiming check your user manual on how to switch on/off chime.
  2. I would stick with Milestone by choice but Hik will work with Onvif
  3. Have you tried wiring it directly into the panel on a short bit of wire? Also check the fuses,fuses are there to save the panel when amatures decide to play around. 1. I wouldn't install something purchased by a customer, it opens up all sorts of warranty issues. 2.This would be my recommendation 3. All of this stuff is one way wireless, as swb says not an alarm system. The Ring alarm will need to be more reliable than the doorbell to be any good. It really comes down to what type of burglar you are likely to attract.
  4. Ive tested Ring, Hikvision, cheapo Chinese, dahua doorbell and Dahua telephone entry, they all ring your phone via an app but none unlock the phone. Yeah the call goes though but it doesnt unlock the phone, even when Im on a call I have to use my fingerprint if i need to unlock it. If an app unlocked phones it would be a big security risk. It can be made to unlock the phone using Tasker but I dont like the idea of my phone being insecure in any way with bank apps and other financial apps like wechat and Revolute on it, its changed from being a phone to being a personal computer, that I holds more than just my phone contacts.
  5. If the phone is locked you have to unlock it the ap notifies but it doesnt unlock the phone
  6. If you have changed the batteries already and closed the lid on the detector correctly. Come out of the room and leave it for 5 mins then go back in let the detector see you if that doesnt work call the installer.(Which is what you should have done in the first place)
  7. SL8 is obsolete you may find a used keypad on ebay. But system that old I would recommend you think about updating
  8. Normally okay on WiFi its just when your out and about, I find by the time Ive unlocked the phone and answered the door the person calling has gone
  9. Comlit VIP Dahua Hikvision All have a system that works with an app with Video entry Be warned though no app based ves works anything like the adverts
  10. I know you think its all smoke and mirrors this vetting mularkey but you would be the first to complain if I let a burglar in to the trade section and he stole all the chocolate hobnobs again like last time
  11. Yes Im just waiting for the stool sample to come back from the lab
  12. Im guessing you have two? the second is probably a dummy box with deterrent leds
  13. Ive never forgotten to set my alarm .....but then I have seen enough houses that have been burgled in my lifetime to make me not forget. There are decent alarm systems out there that you can arm by app. But you could just use HA and geofencing via tasker on every ones mobile phone to arm it, if you are that lazy.
  14. Fixed You will need a different panel altogether, but you could still use the existing sensors
  15. No they are all normally on the same aux fuse with an Accenta, in any case they fail in alarm so you would not be able to set it. As SWB says the Leds on the BB may be indicating a problem but it would be unrelated to the pir, try setting it and moving around in front of Z5 if the alarm goes off the Led on the detector has failed, that would also give the bell a test at the same time.
  16. When you say flashing red if you mean the LEDs' it supposed to, its a deterrent light. What makes you think the motion detector zone five is not working? is it because the light doesnt come on when you move? If its in a bedroom the led is probably switched off
  17. It was brand new from ebay it even has the original installers phone number on it
  18. The panel is obsolete but you may find one on ebay or somewhere, its a straight swap if you have the same keypad
