  1. II believe you are correct, I am not that familiar with Scanny anymore but I am sure someone posted here that the newer rkp's are compatible
  2. Before otherwise it will sound as soon as you power down. It will sound when you try to disconnect it but not for so long
  3. The external sounder should start sounding on its own battery if you fully down power the panel. I say should that is what it is supposed to do. So You really need to start at the external sounder, go outside and disconnect that first, otherwise you will upset your neighbors
  4. They must be busy round your way
  5. I wouldnt do that without a working keypad
  6. How much is silly money?
  7. You're right a blank keypad is not nessacarily going to be a faulty keypad. With no way of shutting the alarm up if you make a wrong move, I am not sure that I would be wanting to DIY that.
  8. At least the cheap and cheerful numpties are getting a taste of their own medicine now
  9. todays install CCTV with proper analytic notification its the future
  10. I see it on FB all the time, I am glad its not my market any more the days of small house bashing that was never an easy days work are gone for us.
  11. 2.5l or the full 5l tin?
  12. Is that a tattoo or just face paint Steve?
  13. On my last house I purchased a couple of cheap halogen light sets for the kitchen from B&Q, I ended up only using one of them. They only cost a tenner, so I thought I might get £5.00 plus postage for the it on Ebay, to my surprise I got £20.00 plus postage. I couldnt understand it the were still £10.00 in B&Q, now I know why thanks Steve.
  14. I am sure I would be
  15. You could get an installer to connect it to the ARC but I doubt vmuch you will get an ARC willing to take on a diy install, dual path monitoring in the UK starts at £350.00 per annum in the UK. You can get dual path app monitoring
  16. Please dont post multiple topics for the same question its irritating Please dont post multiple topics for the same question its irritating Please dont post multiple topics for the same question its irritating
  17. Plus batteries are a consumable nobody is going to want them without proper documentation and a route for return
  18. The Omnicrom was never a good panel when it was new, its certainly not worth resurrecting a broke one. If your trying to get it fixed cheaply then just buy a diy alarm system and replace it, it would be cheaper than calling out an alarm man who will tell you its past it, although anyone worth his salt will tell you that over the phone. I suspect anyone that says he can fix it and offers to come out for a fee will end up having your trousers down for a call out fee, and quoting you to replace it anyway. just trying to be honest with you.
  19. It doesnt quite work that way, there is an app for galaxy its called GX I believe but it will only work with later panels. You can use an aftermarket app but you need the associated Coms Webway has an app that will work with most panels but you are limited to what you can do
  20. I would suggest you subby for a while, starting your own co is not that easy if you dont have a regular income the bank will repossess your house. The mistake most people make in this industry when it comes to insurance is that the think public/employee liability is enough, you need efficacy. Look at the NSI and SSAIB websites for approval you need a minimum of 5 installs contracted. I would recommend NSI silver as there are fewer Silvers than there are SSAIB co's out there it may give you the edge over your local competition. Its easier to buy an established company than trying to start your own, if you have the guts. I have seen loads of one man bands go under recently only to resurface as employees, the domestic market is getting killed off by the likes of Nest ect and the Commercial market will want approved in most cases because of their insurance requirements. Oh and dont try to win deals on price, the big boys get wind that you are under cutting them all the time they can afford to work at a loss till you are under, sell at a fair price win the deal on best value.
  21. you boys are not funny !
