  1. Just out of curiosity why do you want the installation manual
  2. You may be right I thought it may be because we are still buying keypads for them
  3. If you do not want people to not dislike your posts then you need to make nicer posts. I up vote stuff I like, and down vote stuff I dont like just like any other normal forum nerd. I dont need instructions from anyone.
  4. The Gardtec 600 is a direct replacement I believe its still produced
  5. Hi Phil Welcome, but please dont post the same question in multiple topics it makes the place untidy everyone can see your post here
  6. You can add a dialer to any panel but you would need someone to default the engineer code and reprogram it.Find a decent company, invite three to quote, ask them if they are able to takeover and update what you have before you get them around for a survey. Choose the company you are most happy with not necessarily the cheapest. A service add sounder and GSM dialer would be around your budget
  7. External sounders are overrated in my opinion, they get ignored 99% of the time, unless you count the complaints from neighbors when it does go off, and they are one of the first things to go wrong. If you have an alarm installed already get someone to service it, fit loud internal sounder (to scare anyone inside) and a dialer to call you, it will be more reliable than a Ring system and you wont get anyone hacking into it and watching your missus in the hallway
  8. Is that some sort of reference to me living in Brighton, because I ve told you I dont fancy men

    If you dont know the code then the user manual wont be much help, take a look at the bell box to see if thee is an installers name on it, give them a call and they will default the code for you for a small charge
  11. Hi and welcome just ignore the banter, it is a bit like being back in school in here sometimes......which reminds me does anyone want to buy a dinner ticket for tomorrow?
  12. Hi and welcome
  13. Not vandal resistant not 2 wire Imran,. I use door entry direct just call them tell them what you want and give them your email address, they will send you a quote 0208 621 6210
  14. That where I buy my batteries from too!
  15. It is a big problem, we had several CCTV recorders running on XP, we still have albeit they are not connected to any networks. The same goes for win 7 machines we have a couple of systems that we cant upgrade to 10 because the hardware required to view the cameras doesnt work with W10. We have told the customers that they either need to upgrade all the cameras and the recorder, or go with an off-the-shelf hybrid recorder.
  16. They only have the albion in Brighton
  17. I have always lived on the outskirts of Brighton, the office has never been in Brighton it was Worthing its now Storrington.
  18. My last house I had lights curtains and heating connected to my G500, it used to open and close the curtains switch lights on and off and control the heating on a timer along witha separate digital temperature thermostat. You could do anything the the outputs combined with JK flipflop and a few erl timer relays. My remote app was Galaxy gold back then, I used to have to stop the car, connect my lappy to my phone physically and log into my alarm in order to switch the heating on on the way home.
  19. I use RF lightwave you can more or less instruct it to do whatever you need using IFTTT Frost protection is never overridden
  20. Studies have shown that people who have more Birthdays live longer
  21. Battery life is the main reason for two way wireless, but there are benefits to two way comms they are more secure when it coms to jamming, the panel polls the detector instead of the other way around, diagnostics like range ect, you can put the detectors in walk test mode from the panel just to name a few. I use Alexa for home automation, I have given much thought to using Alexa to arm and disarm, she recognises my voice over others in my family. I may use her to part set arm only but at the moment not disarm. I have been experimenting with wireless locks (not for home) and part of that I have purchased some of these cheap wireless locks to take apart and redevelop. One of them came with an App that has an Alexa skill, I thought well it may be useful so I tried it. To use it you tell Alexa to unlock the door, Alexa then asks you for a code, you say the code and the door unlocked. So anyone in earshot can here the code and unlock the door, not so secure. I do use my alarm to switch on various outputs though, when the alarm is armed all the lights in the house and outbuildings are switched off, when I come in the hall light comes on so I can find the keypad, when my system is armed fully my heating switched off I can override this function if I am just poping out for ten mins You can integrate your CCTV to your intruder app, but I haven t bothered my CCTV app already tells me what I need to know, I dont mean it lets me know if something is moving in my garden trees are always blowing around why do I need to know that? it tells me in a person size object (not next doors cat) is approaching the house, it alerts me before the intruder so no need to integrate.
