I hate Hik too but if you can set the protocol to onvif on the Dbell then your DVR should find it

Hi and Welcome It sounds like you need to get someone to look at it, I would recommend an alarm company rather than an electrician. If you dont use it you should get them to decommission it, alarms are designed in such a way that they are difficult to circumvent, and when they are not serviced this can have side effects like the one you experienced last night. The external sounder has a battery and can sound regardless of any connection to the control panel. The panel also has a battery with a 4 year life expectancy, if this has failed it will start to pull on the charging circuit, in some extreme circumstances could cause a fire. My advice would be to search for a local company and get a few quotes to decommission it or to recomission it and provide a maintenance contract.

Could be induction but that would normally be if the cables are run next to the mains, and Im not sure that the dyson would cause enough noise. Does the ESP have separate tamper connections, can you see it via a browser or software? It may be a case of dissing things till you find whats tampering thats the problem with global tampers

Texecom is a well known brand, I dont use it so cant comment on how good or bad it is as a product. But plenty of companies do use it so it probably is alright. I think you are right not to choose the cheapest. I always recommend people get three quotes and choose the company you are most happy with not the cheapest

I think the enter button will take you out of walk test, 99 enter takes you out of engineering

My jobs were very neat mate, but Ive seen loads of cabs like that one

Bit like asking how long is a piece of string, in order to answer your question the essential information required is what system do you have?

I always liked visiting the nurses accommodation, sadly they knocked it all down to extend the hospital. They dont seem to have student nurse accommodation buildings anymore, theyre all bunched in with the uni accommodation, which we also look after a few of these buildings but theyre not the same.

One of the NHS student nurses accommodation buildings we look after had their microwave stolen several times, they asked us if there was anything we could do to prevent it. Our locksmith fitted a Kensington style lock and it was chained to the wall, the thieves came back couldnt steal it so took a dump on the base plate and and left the microwave running on full power, stunk the kitchen out for days.

The cost of upkeep outweighs the horror of someone rooting through your wifes knicker draw, and finding a dump in your microwave

All the prices quoted are cheap IMO, as others have said though if your not using it then ask for a price to decommission it rather than one to fix it for another 5 years. Personally I wont leave my house without arming the alarm, and wouldnt be without one

Hi Emma Welcome to the forum. So what do you do ? Are you an engineer?

We have no interest in veripoor , we already know the rubbish they install is easily comprised tat. Any pro would just rip it out and fit a proper system no compromise

The problem is revealing information on this website on how to program or default alarm systems. This site is run by professional security installers, and as such we do not permit defaulting information in the public areas.

You shouldnt be sharing it, you have no way of knowing who you are sharing it with. You could be passing info to a burglar for all you know. Its why we have a trade area where we have screened members and we can be confident that trade members work in our industry

You cant reply till you've made five posts. If its something you want to say just say it we wont judge

Were not all dodgy just the northerners😉

why did you not put the original poe where the splitter is?

You could just change the panel for a smarter panel, it depends on how clever you are really. If you are running home assistant or similar, then yes you can integrate some panels using I/O units, if you are just using phillips hue/ Alexa and crossing your fingers you will need to rethink

99 enter gets you out of engineer

Your first statement worries me, get a pro in

As Alyeti says it could be any number of things, what model panel do you have and what type of prox fob genuine or compatible? Scanny wont work with any 125khz fob the it needs to be Manchester Format which are seldom found on the Chinese compatibles

Sorry as we have no way of vetting people that come here therefore, we are unable to provide engineering manuals for panels, for all we know you could be someone looking to compromise a security system.

I think we called them and asked for a calibrated meter pay a bit extra and the cert comes with it
