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

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

They are renamed as Eaton Im no expert on their panels, but I think the Ion is their offering

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

Most modern day systems have id circuits, allowing you to have 5 detectors wired in parallel but they all have their own id

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.

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.

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

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.

Cough!

Hi John Ill email you

These cameras are being pushed, but if you watch the news they are in all the tube stations in China. Remember you have to go through the metal detector put your back through the Xray now they have thermal cameras to take out the hot people. I see the logic in it, stopping people with temperatures mixing with people without temperatures. The problem is not everyone who is positive has a temperature, some have no or very little symptoms. That said its better than no checks

He means solder a link across all the tamper circuits/switches

We are in Storrington West sussex but we are not the cheapest company, (we are not the most expensive either) it depends on what you want but we only supply quality kit which we install professionally. Not that we will be available for any installation works for some time as our books were full before lockdown, and we have work coming in still everyday. Oops you said no sales pitches, forget what I said

Well you put an i in soldering and now you have to soldier on

Oh yes, my college tutor made me sit a whole day soldering links onto a breadboard until I got it perfect. Before then I was always the first one to finish any project work he gave us, but mine never worked as my soldering was so rubbish. Now my soldering is higher than average, and everything I build works first time, if it doesnt I can be confident that its a faulty component

I hadnt noticed the typo strange how your brain reads what it was supposed to say.

You can solder new batteries on these Ive done it in the past

I see this sort of stuff on FB all the time this one has just popped up, now I understand this is a beta version but we know that even beta tested stuff with some manufactures wouldn't be released without making sure it works

Hi and welcome

The problem would be the server its polling, if that server its polling doesnt tell you that its not receiving the polls then there is no point. Polling via a Alarm Receiving Centre is the most reliable way to prevent this sort of targeted attack. and that is what I would recommend if you want to be sure From what i can make out the Texe Pyronix and Risco app based alarms have all gone down regularly in one way or another. Not sure about Honeywell and Eaton but HKC has been 100% more reliable than the other three. Either that or just use GSM, hide your router, make sure that the BB line cannot be tampered with from the outside if you really must go self monitoring and you feel you could be targeted in this way

Most people that come here dont like a great big ugly burglar in their house LOL! Seriously though there are several are many alternatives out there depending on what where the controls can be positioned. The biggest problem you will have is that the cables all terminate at the panel, and so they will need to be re-routed to the new panels position, best to call the company that installed it and ask them for a quote to update it

can you take a picture from further away, it looks like a loft hatch

I have no complaints
