I remember that, I remember how everyone was fascinated one year by Richards Lotus Elise -
Do you reset pressing 5 or hash or similar ? it will be looking for a DTMF tone in which case it should not matter what phone you use. Unless the keys dont transmit DTMF while in a call

NSI have regional meetings I used to go to these until they moved the venue, I dont go as often nowadays, I believe that SSAIB do similar, we have on occasion met up for coffee or a pint at IFSEC but not regularly we are all spread out over the UK so for most it would be quite a drive to meet up -

Access control technician/installer knowledge
PeterJames replied to Cieska's topic in CCTV & Access Control
Understanding how something works helps a lot when fault finding, or even getting the end user to use something as it was designed. However, when it comes to card formats for the average installer knowing the difference between 125khz and 13.56KHz is probably enough info unless you want to write your own cards and fobs. -
Welcome back ......I think

Its likely someone will take the pee here but its banter ignore it. We almost encourage it here, not because we think people who come here seeking help deserve it, but because these forums would be very boring if there was no humour. You will need the engineer code to program your alarm panel. There are other companies out there other than the guy that fitted it (just saying ) Some companies will be happy to take it over and commission the work that you have done , ie you run the cables in readiness, they come along and connect the end up.

I agree but the only revenue stream can only be more sales, because once someone has purchased a panel (same price as all the other panels more or less) thats it for at least 5 years no more income from that customer. Most free stuff is to entice you to buy and keep buying, like the free gift in a happy meal, or the free plastic car when you fill your car with fuel 10 times. The difference between what the alarm manufacturers are doing and McDonalds is that Mcdonalds have weekly sometimes daily returns from giving away free stuff. Its not economic suicide for these manufacturers though, far from it because the alarm monkeys keep selling the stuff, but that doesn't mean they are investing in proper servers or rushing to fix them when it goes wrong, because they dont have to issue any refunds if it does, they can't give a refund on something that doesn't cost you anything. I dont use FB for product info, I use it to see whats happening in the jungle, and I can only go by what I see, which is the regular complaints that these free servers keep going down. One way I believe so

That would put me off, if your getting something for nothing that means somebody is getting nothing for something. Now you could say that well its only a cloud, but that needs to be kept up to date and working. In my opinion if it went down and they are not charging for it where is the motivation or financial resources to get it back up as quickly as possible. I havent seen many complaints on the FB forum about it going down, well at least not as many as the Texecom Risco or Pyronix clouds anyway, but that just maybe because the Scanny is not the weapon of choice for the £199.00 brigade
-
Stu Datafusion like Scantronic, I know nothing about the newer stuff I do know the original 9100, 9600 and 9800 were very good panels very reliable. I have a few Scanny takeovers which seem to be okay, we dont get much trouble. Detection wise I would recommend the Opex RX Quad, Opex only make detection they dont make panels or bells so they are expert at what they do we rarely have a problem with their quads, and FA's are normally environmental. With windows you would be better off going for wireless unless you are plastering everywhere, its hard to get a seismic detector to the best position on a window without some cable on show. There are very few keypads that are modern looking, I like the Orisec one but if its anything like the Risco one it will be pants. I have an andriod flushed into the wall on my landing, to control my lights and CCTV ect I have pondered with the idea of using the smart app for the intruder so it acts as a keypad as well but in fairness its a good idea aesthetically but it wont work as well as it looks. Intruder alarm companies have some funny ideas on what they think looks good in someones house, this is why the crap diy market is so popular.

Yep thats it you end up with H1O instead of H2O

It tasted like the kettle had been boiled cooled down and then boiled again.
-
One of our customers had one of those, their tea tasted awful
-
I did think about one in the kitchen for the kettle, but the kettle never has any water in it as we only fill it up with the amount we need, and never refill it straight after use. I nearly bought an app kettle, because it tells me how full it is, but that wont help as Iit still want have water in it so it will only tell me what I already know, I need a app kettle that fills itself. Ive thought about this a fair bit and I just cant think of any use for a wireless socket
-
All my non light switch lights like the mood lights are low voltage, and either come with RF or IR control so I can turn the room blue, or dim the lights via my broadlink and alexa without the need to switch on a plug
-
I dont have any sockets, I did have the lightwave RF plug in type, but I found I never had a use for one. Most stuff I can control via ir, or low voltage wireless relays or 433 switch

You get nothing for two in a bed.............not in this game!
