  1. Your insurance company is looking for some assurance that your alarm will do its job in the event of another burglary, and if it doesn t that they have some recourse, ie the alarm companies efficacy insurance. So when they ask for alarm maintenance contract what they mean is they expect you to have a real alarm system, not something that came from Amazon and might alert you if you have another burglary. The Nest system is not compliant to any of the required british standards, its not graded. Even if you found some back street electrician that would offer a service contract, its unlikely that your insurer would pay out in the event of another successful burglary.
  2. You could with a keyswitch zone

  20. Its a three year old thread, he has probable bitten the bullet and moved on to the 21st century now
  21. Ive tested most of these doorbells now Ring Hik Dahua Chinese cheapos, and they do work 8 or 9 times out of 10, and so the alarm should be fine ......most of the time. Seriously though, the doorbells are nothing like the adverts would have you believe, my ring doorbell missed so many parcel deliveries and I know that the postie press the button because I have hard wired reliable CCTV. And it alerted falsely so many times even on the lowest setting that I couldn't use the motion detect at all. I do not understand why anyone would have a doorbell, understand that it doesn t always work, and then think I know, Ill use their alarm to protect my home. Its sods law that it will let you know just as the burglar is leaving, thats what the doorbell does.
  22. Most live boxes have flashing leds some dummies have flashing led, most ADT boxes are dummies. Would you trust Ring? I wouldnt
  23. Ive done it before you need to see which circuit terminals are common, I havent tried with an Accenta. But that said I would think the person who ran the cable would be more of a clown if he joined one of the unused wires and not the other, my money would be on a damaged cable rather than a clown installer. Is EOL not available or is the panel too early?
  24. its a 350 the 370 was on-board keypad
