Home alarm problems and advice?
We are a long way from Scotland but our charge for standard contract (That means parts and callouts are charged extra) and monitoring digi would be around £30 more per annum or £18.00 per month in other words plus VAT

Oops I cut my alarm cable - Help please
The problem is we dont know what colours the installer used, you should have a wire in terminal 7 my guess would be green. and the twist the blue and yellow together. the system wont reset until the lid is on the detector. Also you may have blown the internal fuse when you cut the wire.

Where exactly is the bullying? Nobody has taken your lunch money. Everyone has given answers to your questions, Ive just gone back and read them all and none of them were threatening. Everyone that has participated in answering has said it depends on the project (In their own words) which is another way of saying that none of us have a set setup we all install cameras to the customers needs and adjust accordingly. I cannot see the arrogance you describe, they are replies, I can see the frustration in your replies, as if the answers given are not really sensible or something

It may come across that way but its not intended too, its a nerdy forum full of nerds that sometimes have difficulty getting theyre point across. But sometimes the other nerds are not listening unless its something they were expecting to hear.

I im guessing that the quote above is what he was waiting to hear, everything else did not really make sense as none of the other figures fitted. Which is fine horses for courses but why bother asking

Guardall panel no longer made, I have installed them in the past didnt like them that much then, I wouldnt want to take one on now. We look after group of leisure centres and two of the bigger sites have Chubb looking after the intruder, every year the customer asks us to take them over, and I keep giving them a price to replace the panel, it never gets any cheaper and Chubb keep the contract.

Cheaper recorders only record on motion Our recorder records all the time but only saves motion, we can set it to save up to 30 seconds before and after the motion, I have yet to have an incident missed

It all depends on the requirements thats why everything is adjustable. Bigger HDD are cheap nowadays so we normally set it to the highest possible setting depending on how many cameras and the amount of days required and the size of the HDD. Nobody has a crystal ball (not one that reliably works anyway) so nobody can predict when they are going to need to look at theyre CCTV to see what happened in the past. In most cases its after their car got broken into, or they were burgled, or a neighbour was burgled, or an incident that happened that day or within a few days. So ideally you need good recordings for the first couple of weeks at least. We rarely use 25fps on domestics in most cases 10fps will gather enough info, I drop the bitrate if we are not achieving the days required on motion detect. At home I have two recorders a cheap one recording the sub stream and the premium one recording the main stream. I get about 2.5 weeks on the premium, I figured if I hadnt noticed something that happened anytime over two weeks it wont be that important. However, just in case, the cheap NVR which still records better than my old analogue system for 2 months. It works well for me I might try selling that idea to my customers sell two recorders = more dosh. As a bonus to security one recorder is in an out building so it would be difficult to steal both before the Police arrive if I were burgled, so its win win
