He had only made one post when he applied so I deleted his application, he's made 6 now but hasnt applied since so no I havent

Should be done today I had a few to go through

Why would you think its a long shot? I suspect that most on here would know how to do it

I dont understand?

Are you sure its an 800? The keypad looks too late for an 800 it could be an 872 but it looks more 595

Could this have been connected to the intruder alarm? What sort of wire is it?

Do you not have a zone list? Each one of those lights represents a zone, 1= Front Door 2= Hall etc etc. I suspect that 67&8 are unused zones the fact that you have 5 pirs and a door contact would suggest that at least 7&8 are not used, I cannot think why they should suddenly become active if nothing else has changed like the user code. If the system had defaulted then the user code wouldn't work

so that makes 6 zones, and you say that leds 67&8 are lit when trying to set, what are wired into zones 67&8?

No need to shout were not deaf! Do the detectors light up when you walk in front of them?

Bine ati venit!

Really? I was told that you could only use their cameras with their VMS by Milestone

Its three multi story car parks with cameras on each level of the stairwells and each pay machine etc

Yes but then your stuck with only being able to use avigilon cameras. Milestone is expensive especially when you consider that the likes of Dahua and Hik are free and they are catching up quite quickly with their analytics. The deciding factor between Milestone and cheaper solutions is risk, if anything happened to avigilon you stuck with something you cant expand or repair, the Dahua and Hik are in my opinion high risk if you are going to use them in a MOD site or similar, that only really leaves Milestone unless you have your own solution. I have just quoted Dahua for a 164 camera system, its a low risk site if the Chinese want to log in and watch people driving around a car park thats fine with me, though I will make it quite hard for them to do that in the first place with a VPN

Not sure you would, I think faced with fix an old system for lots of dosh, versus new system for lots of dosh, even the most tightest amongst us will go for the latter

You need to call the installer Gent is closed protocol

Thanks Rich, TBF it may be every two years we buy one, its not me that deals with that I just roughly know what we do. Ill check that we dont buy one every year now though. That said theyre only about £30 from CPC

We purchased a calibration test kit and test our own meters for calibration yearly, and we by a new meter each year with a calibration certificate to test our meters against. The old meters we test for calibration and then use them as spares or replacement for failed meters.

Swap the contact with another one if the fault moves with the contact its faulty

A photo would be useful your description could be just about anything

Its all Greek to me, Welcome to the forum George

Sounds like the service timer is on

Ta ... I got distracted Eastenders was on

What do you have at the detectors?

www.nsi.org.uk and www.ssiab.com these are the inspectorates for the industry. you can search using your postcode on the websites. My advice would be to pick three companies, and then choose the company you feel most with which is not necessarily the cheapest.

Only people that work in this trade go around looking at bell boxes and stuff, nobody else does it not even the burglars
