Depending on if the system is regularly serviced, the battery should last around 12 hours without mains and should recharge within 24 hours. But my concern would not be the alarm, it would be the RCD tripping especially when no-one is home to switch stuff on and off, what else is on the circuit ? Did you have a look around the house for small fires?

You know I moved recently, well the vendor tried selling me the carpet, I told him he would be doing me a favor if he took it as it will save me on skips. It was still here when I moved in and is slowly being ripped out

Along with the light bulbs and switch's

Makes a change from someone asking why their sounder sounds when theres a power cut. When you say it doesnt sound on part set, how are you testing it? If you are prt setting the alarm and then coming into the entry route it wont sound. If you set it then go into a room that is not on entry exit route then I would say it should sound. Obvs if you start the entry procedure it wont. get someone to wait in the lounge part set the alarm then get them to move

Ive been fitting flushed in led light strips in the master bedroom ensuite

He could have sold the contracts instead of just shutting down

Did you not have a hard wired system before? I would have used the existing cables and replaced the hard wired system personally

He did a few jobs for me down Weston Super Mare way but he was too busy last time I asked him

When the doorbell first came out I tried one and they are nothing like the advert would have you believe, they didnt even work that well locally. Since then I tried cheapo Chinese doorbell 7 out of 10, Hik 4 out 10, Daha 6 out of 10., Ring I could only give 4 out of 10. When people ask me why I always quote hardwired if I can, my usual answer is additional annual fees due to batteries, but I will be adding you cant jam hard wired

Can you include the bonus ball this time !?

You can, but that doesnt mean you should, there could be all sort's of easter eggs hidden in the incumbents programming just waiting to bite you in the ass. From rogue user codes to zones put on double knock or areas that are not part of the main system. If your not programming it yourself how do you know that its programmed as it should be

I was thinking the same, if the panel had been defaulted when it was taken over there would be no remote codes stopping you from taking a backup

I can hear pylons and all sorts of stuff if Im close enough, I have to concentrate to hear it as my brain blocks it out. Its like when you put your sunglasses on for a second or so everything goes red then your brain says, "Thats not right everything isnt red" and then everything goes back to normal but without the pesky sun in your eyes. Assuming you have red sunglasses that is

I can hear the high frequency of some TV's , I can hear my fridge and my freezer, most of the time I just block it out. Ive never heard my router wifi or any wireless alarm devices. If they are installed by a proper company then they are most likely 2 way wireless which would mean they are not transmitting all the time they may pole every now and again and when the alarm they will signal when there is a burglar detected. The PSU will be switch mode rather than the old fashioned transformer so very little hum. Tidy!

Currently they are spend way more than they are making though. They owe a few £million, but so did Moon Pig and that sold its way out of debt. I think they are just waiting for one of the big boys to buy them, but any of the big boys that know anything about alarms will know that the company is not worth its debt ( if I found a few £million stuffed down the back of my sofa Veritat would be the last place I would be thinking of investing it). So atm they will carry on and hope the profit catches up with the debt. The things they have going for them is the ads seem good, they have a very quick turn around for installation, and the the people running it are ruthless marketing salesman. Because the ARC is NSI approved, the try to bamboozle the customer into thinking they are. In reality the kit is real tat and nothing like the adds would have you believe, the people installing it are shaved monkeys that did a weeks training on how to screw tat to the wall, and the sales is all smoke and mirrors. They dont have snowballs chance in hell of getting NSI non of their staff are CRB checked, and none of the tat they install is EN50131.

Sadly you see this junk everywhere you go nowadays, I feel sorry for the smaller alarm companies as Veri-shocking is taking on most of the sort of customers that would otherwise go with a smaller type co. ( I could have thought of a better word to describe them that begins with sh but this is public and minors maybe watching)

That's what I could see but lots of T's didnt make any sense

I cant see what it says under the grey wire and I cant see what it says under any of those terminals

Agreed with the above you could also think about an accredited company, you may get a discount on your insurance.

Your picture doesnt show what the terminals are ? The wires are in the way

Swerve Lightsys, HKC would be my choice if you're having it professionally installed, if your going DIY then it would have to be Orisec or Texe I suppose, I think Pyronix also have some fancy keypad you can use as a door prop when it goes wrong just outside its warranty.

Its sealed unlike a car battery so there is no fix for it. Replace it is one option, but if you dont like your neighbours you could not bother with a battery at all, then in every powercut the external sounder will sound and upset them. Or if you like to gamble you could just leave the battery in the panel may catch fire, it may not. To be fair never heard of one catching fire in a house (an engineers van caught fire recently due to old batteries) but there is always a first time. If you dont like the sound of those options you should either, replace the battery, get the alarm serviced, or decommission the system completely

1st two links are the same

ahh but you dont like wobbly comments on wobbly pictures of whitby

They were on the M25 today again, meanwhile in Brighton the green party were spend £thousands of taxpayers money on planting stuff on the beach.
