  1. Agreed with James, I too dont know ion stuff but assuming its two way wireless and lithium batteries you should get 18 months minimum. Are you able to adjust the rf poling? its the only thing that could be draining the battery, but in that case I would expect them all to be coming up low battery
  2. you havent wired the bedroom pir up correctly if you have a tamper fault
  3. As above, its not in the user programing settings
  4. Hi and welcome, CCTV has come a long way in the last few years you can get systems with trip wires and intrusion boxes, when set up correctly the camera will only inform you if a human, or a vehicle, or both humans or vehicles enter the intrusion box or cross the tripwire. To be clear it can be set up as either singular or both. Some systems can go much further than this you can have a system set up to alert you if anyone with a red jumper enters the site if you needed to.
  5. If your recorder has it you can also arm/disarm remote viewing from an input like say your intruder alarm, this would be overridden if a 24hr device activated like PA. This way the ARC only have access when the system is armed you can automate the arming using an output on the intruder so when set or part set the CCTV is armed when the intruder system is disarmed so is the CCTV
  6. If you need it monitored with Police response then it has to be installed by a accredited installer Put your postcode in here https://www.nsi.org.uk/company-finder/
  7. My controller and reader will do that, gimme a call Monday
  8. No Im suggesting you put your postcode in on the sites "search for company in your area" and contact the companies close to you.
  9. I have locked readers and fobs, they are wiegand so should work with paxton controllers alternately I have a stand alone controller the cost would be about £200.00 for controller and reader and the fobs are £4.00 ea as I have to program them specially
  10. There is a shortage of good engineers in the UK you should have no trouble finding something. As above the NSI and SSAIB websites are a good place to start
  11. Costly mistake spending a load of money on DIYing G3 stuff only to be told by the installer that they wont take it on.
  12. QFA if your battery has been knackered for a long time the charging circuit will not be able to charge a battery anymore. Under load that 13v will be more like 9v
  13. So long as the charging circuit is not knackered you could replace the battery and wait 24hours until its fully recharged, you should be able to turn the power off for around 8 hours without the sounder sounding, its either that or diss the sounder, but be warned the strobe has high voltage.
  14. What are you selling?
  15. It will if someone then enters. Also it wont be G3 if your not an accredited installer
  16. A motion sensor
  17. Sounds like you may have been too late with the battery replacement, down power power up mains first then battery, but be warned that may get the panel back up and working (if you are lucky) it doesnt mean that the panel is okay. If the battery has been dead for a while then its likely to have done irreparable damage to the charging circuit
  18. QFA Bus detectors or ID detectors from a different brand will not work
  19. AM used to install them but the plastic on them was so thin it used to expand when the sun was on it and cause tamper faults, I told Pyronix but they denied there was a problem.
  20. The only solid state smoke ive come across is when you accidently put the wrong voltage in something. This generally lets the smoke out of it. Ive found that its the smoke that makes electronic stuff work, because once you have let all the smoke out of a component it never works again.
  21. Good luck with trying to get a panel from somewhere though, Ive been waiting months for a Dimension G3 panel and the last update was for an ETA Oct 9. If we were installing Galaxy full time we would go bust. Welcome to the forum
