  1. pmsl I bet their stock of hamburgers have dropped
  2. Thanks Rich I have an Edimax access point I shall give that a try. Though I was rather hoping someone would tell me how to get the Virgin DSL working
  3. Came in this morning to find the server had died, I have a backup at home but because the A27 is closed travelling to and from is a bit more than a ball ache, luckily my salesman was in Brighton so picks it up for me. Gets it to the office wires it all in and with the help of JW gets it up and running, it worked a dream everything saved from the night before nothing missing. Then on to getting the internet working. I'm with Virgin for business I have a Cisco modem plugged directly into the server and the SME server does the DHCP. Anyway the modem will only talk to the mac address that it was set up with, apparently according to Virgin the only way to change this is to reset the modem and log in via their portal, the problem is they have switched the portal off as they are upgrading their systems. If I was on their latest package this would not have been a problem. I have upgraded but they have told me 28 days until its done, I cant go 28 days with no emails. So I take the old network adapter out of the old server and its PCI and all I have on the new server is PCI express. so I plug the PCI card in on a pc and hey presto I have internet. Great but I have 8 machines and two DVR's and a couple of intruder panels that need internet. I downloaded a program to make the pc a DHCP server but that didnt work. I thought about buying a PCI to usb adapter but James says that would then use the USB MAC and not the Ethernet adapter MAC. I have a mobile wifi modem but it has no Ethernet ports and only three of our machines have wifi the rest is all wired. Plus its a ball ache to keep swapping between networks to send receive emails I am sure that there will be someone on here that will have the answer
  4. His advert said no Charlies TBF I cant remember, I know it wasnt Racist or the like because I would have deleted it completely, it was probably something innocently minor, but legally wrong

    Hi

    hi and welcome
  6. There are many myths regarding CCTV
  7. First question why do you want all the doors protected, I go to a lot of houses that have been burgled and not many burglars open doors they normally go through them. If you must have all the doors protected then I would advise upgrading the Texe you wont have to change all the eol's in the existing detectors.
  8. Ive searched but cant find the thread I think it was a few years ago, it mentioned the old KISS software and a software that was advertised in security installer magazine.
  9. Hi Matt Welcome to the forum, there was a topic about software somewhere here started a few years ago now though, as I seem to remember there are one or two that are free or very cheap with limited customer base as you get more customers you have to buy.
  10. Hi and welcome
  11. Hi and welcome
  12. It all depends really subbies we use in Sussex are £150/£160 inclusive, London can demand more TBF
  13. Hi and welcome
  14. It would be sensible to indicate whether ££50 per day is per man or for both of you though even £175 per day for a subbie is a little strong, and the area you cover
  15. he hasnt made enough posts, this site is not a free job site, its here for the benefit of the participants.
  16. Its not about the amount of posts its about the quality of the posts
  17. bonjour
  18. Quality assured companies have to show that they have carried out a ra as evidence that they have taken everything into consideration, including the customers requirements. The customer agrees or disagrees to the findings of the ra. the ra is the only way to insure that the installer has interpreted the customers requirements correctly
  19. I would be on it right now but I'm too busy working on my teleporting project, I have it sussed its just putting everything back in the right order I need to get. it would seem that Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is correct, if I can figure my way found that there will be no need for cars planes or trains.
  20. Fobs wouldnt change that a code or fp reader would. I can see us all one day walking around with unique technology built into us to start your car, even mobile phone and internet, videos and pictures of what you see and do that you can upload, we will be able to think texts and send them. Mind you having a phone call might look a bit weird to begin with, bit like those people walking around with bluetooth headsets. But imagine having the whole internet available in your head, its already possible just that nobody has the bottle to suggest it.
  21. Shunt for unset is worse than fobs! Lose your keys outside your house and anyone can get in. Shunt for starting the entry time is the most secure, however, many people do not want cable in their front door, it's much harder and more expensive especially with upvc doors. Keep your car keys separate from your front door keys, and keep the fob on your car keys that way if you lose your car keys they can't get in if you lose your house keys they can't switch alarm off.
  22. It the Paxton that provides the output not the lock so you just need to put a relay on the Paxton output and wire it as a final exit zone, don't forget to change the door contact zone to entry route otherwise it defeats the objective
  23. Area code for the out-building only it wont work if the system is fully set and I will switch it off when the builder is finished.
  24. He was using the building to plane doors and fit the locks, he was storing his tools in there so I gave him a code that switched off that out building. its only monitored when the system is full set so doesnt need a fob for the outbuilding while the system is unset.
