I did think it was out of character Dave I checked your IP just to be sure that noone had hacked your account

Did you change anything other than the bell? I would start by removing the strobe and bell (yellow and white wires) then see if arming still blows the fuse then put them back one at a time to see whats causing the problem. My money is on strobe

He started it ^

I would use third party to arm but not disarm "Alexa set the alarm"

I also use HKC and it is connected to my lights for alarm activation, curtousy, and to make sure all the lights are off when its armed, but I am using 433 for that. There are panels out there that do talk with various hubs but as James says I dont believe they are compliant. The Polish Satel Integra panel does have some integration but again I am unsure on its compliance Agreed if you need dual path for insurance you cant diy it

I could have purchased them branded, but seriously I couldn't retail them . They will put a brand name on anything over there

They didnt say Hik on them they just had Hik firmware, but that was were the similarity ended, they acted like Hik, the settings were exactly the same. Everything thought it was a Hik camera (I was using our own Elise recorders) but Hik recorders thought they were genuine too. They were in standard eyeball camera housing with Sony Davinci CMos chips. The ones that worked, worked well but we had a high failure rate, and to return them China wanted import duty which made it expensive to get them fixed, the supplier did send free replacements but the QC was shite. I just used them as dummy cameras now for existing and new customers

Pool is looking a lot lighter green than it normally does when I open it, it did look black when I first opened it as usual , but it seemed to have cleared a lot quicker than usual. Beer o clock now, I might fire up the barbi for dinner

They all do, that said I have heard (on a fb security forum) that people are installing the Hik cameras with speaker's and strobes at camping sites in France, though I couldn't tell you the model number. There will be some distributors in the UK with them probably but distributors have to buy by the boatload in order to compete with each other and Amazon and Ebay. I can get Chinese knockoff Hik cameras before some of the UK suppliers get the real thing most of the time. Not that I would buy them ever again.

it feels like noon! Who the fook has a bank holiday weekend in the middle of a pandemic! its not like we have had more time off than we need already. I decided to open the pool this morning in the end

Well is it?

Well done Dave!

Thats what she said

I think he's burnt it

Looks like a crumpet ?

I used to have a pony tail, one year I was photographed for adverts in the yellow pages for two different alarm companies, up a ladder for WSS and on steps for an-other co. The funny part was they were on opposite pages, it made it look like I was a model for YP ads

Some things have changed Ive got less hair

Me and my boy were looking at that on the way home tonight

We all know that, but if I was to phone as me and ask them direct they would deny it

Really? That is interesting ADI are going to love you posting that on here, Hik do not like their distributors selling their stuff to JP, and distributors have got into trouble over it in the past . I only know Dahua products, I have never really bothered with Hik for varying reasons. I couldnt give you a comparison other than the fact that they both have similar versions of the same stuff. What I can tell you is Hik are part owned by the Chinese Government, and Dahua are not, yet guess whose face recognition cameras are in all the tube and train stations in Shenzhen

Hi Vitor welcome to the forum. please note you have replied to a four your old post, the original poster has probably finished his intruder alarm for beginners course by now , and moved opn to Fire alarms for dummies

I cant really comment on Hik stuff I am not familiar with their products. All manufacturers have their own protocols and way of doing things, I havent heard anything bad about Hik for a while so they are most likely okay. As I said earlier though just be sure you are buying from a Hik UK registered dealer other wise you may end up with Hik stuff with non uk firmware or worse fake Hik.

Missed again!
