  1. I think its his grammar
  2. I think he moved in about 4yrs not he had the alarm installed about 4 yrs
  3. LOL! I new it worked with Blink but I was unable to get it to work with Dahua, Im pleased with the work around
  4. Ive just added my Dahua CCTV to the alexa show using the imou app. Alexa Who's at the front door?
  5. Also check that all handsets are seated correctly, feedback is often caused if someone hasnt replaced their handset properly
  6. I expected the bell to sound, but it seems that it did. but you omitted to tell us
  7. PIR wont really see through glass but if the sun is glaring in and its suddenly shadowed who knows, they are unlikely to be activated by white light though most passives have white light filter lenses
  8. But what should have happened when he removed the bell fuse?
  9. But if your bell fuse is blown your bell should have sounded for 20 mins when it blew
  10. Looks the best location fo both rooms if its wireless you could swap it with another detector if the fault follows the detector then replace it, if the fault reoccurs in the lounge then its something environmental that your missing, I see nothing in that plan (unless you missed out some helium balloons from a recent party) that would cause fa's
  11. If he cut through the tamper wire before blowing the fuse then it should have
  12. QFA Dual-techs are designed for specific environments, and usually have a cheaper pir in them. People think because of the name and they cost more they are better, but in a small room like lounge they are worse than a cheap pir. Upping the pulse count only hides the problem and lowers your security. You need to find what causing it. If the detector is old change it for a quad element like an Optex RX
  13. How did you stop it from sounding in the first place if you chopped the keypad wires? If it never sounded my best guess would be its probably not the keypad fuse, its fried the CPU
  14. They are renamed as Eaton Im no expert on their panels, but I think the Ion is their offering
  15. You dont have to have wireless the panels are hybrid so you have hard wired and you can add on wireless stuff as you see the need I wasnt going to say anything but the 95 was horrid
  16. Most modern day systems have id circuits, allowing you to have 5 detectors wired in parallel but they all have their own id
  17. I always liked the 9600 and the 9800, but the modern day equivalent is 100 times better. All panels have quicksets for full and part settings, you can have a smart-phone ap that not only lets you know when its activated it lets you know when your keyholder has disarmed it, you can also arm disarm it from your phone, and control other wireless output such as your gates.
  18. I used to install these but, its so long since Ive seen one Ive forgotten. I was only saying to James the other day I used to know the G500 inside out, I couldnt even tell you how to change the code nowadays. But ask me anything on the HKC panel or Guardpoint Pro, or Dahua CCTV, and I will find a way of charging you for the information.
  19. Im a big fan of Buck convertors and making my own PSU chargers, that way I know my current limitations and I can change them easily. I have several echo inputs and dots around the house and in most cases I use 12vdc PSU thats powering other stuff like LED lighting or Bluetooth amplifiers, then I use Buck convertors to drop the voltage for the 5v stuff. I have a ten amp PSU in the top garage thats powering Bluetooth in the Kitchen speakers VIA a Buck, Echo in the kitchen Via a Buck, 12v LED strip lights, and a 12v wireless receiver to switch stuff (like the lights and the speakers on and off) On the landing I have the droid pad, I have 12v dc powering a receiver and a buck , the receiver is on a timer progged by Sonoff and it switches the buck on and off so that the driod gets a couple of hours charge per day, the is another buck running off the same psu powering an input on the landing. I have voice control nearly everywhere I am in the house.Mostly powered by 12vdc and bucks
  20. Its not a good idea to split power especially from one of those double socket type chargers, they are not powerful enough to run three things safely, the link norm posted will deliver the current required.
