I quote you "if there are any sub contractors in south wales ".. That would suggest you are not local to where the jobs are going to be so unless you will be going back to maintain them - where exactly do you think the money is in house bashing?

It's a lot about branding, it looks nice, it costs nothing so it's a no brainer for those who can't/won't look to deep.

Lol.. My advise is fit whatever makes you the most buttons, sorry money from the install as it doesn't sound like you'll ever see any revenue from them. You'd be better off getting a local firm to do them and bung you 50 for each job.

Haven't done any bandits for a long time and need to do 2 on a shop floor next week ( sub) - last time I did one was Jessops in Brighton and turfed out ( when testing) he floors above as nothing on fire panel to indicate it linked to other systems!!

Curious how well it would work up there? I would have thought at floor level would fill quicker?

Not here, I'm just bored of it because it's boring.

ok, fair point. sort of. it must be compliant otherwise they wouldn't sell it as a compliant product - even if that compliance is self-certed.. if their self-cert is not accurate or true then surely the other signalling firms would kick up a fuss? regardless of the comms the fundamental system needs to be reliable and the only way to achieve that is to install to a high standard a cabled system. that audible only system will do the job for which most end users want it to do. those who don't require any comms for insurance can be up-sold to key holder using a product which does not cause us headaches and makes us money. in all honesty i'd rather be doing something which actually held some interest. i'm on a slippery slope at the moment of really starting to detest our industry and even resent the fact i'm stuck in it.

Totally agree but whats being pushed is leaving the temp radio system in afterwards which is just poor on a new build period let alone a bungalow.

I can't be bothered with a conversation about why a wired system in a bungalow is better than a wireless system, it's a pointless argument if we're even having the conversation in the first place.

FFS... the world gone mad.

why on earth would you want a wireless alarm as the end product in a bungalow??????

Does any of this matter? I can't see anyone on this forum giving this product any credibility so it's just going to turn into a slating match.

and?

you just cost me a call out!

FFS. I will tell you what the 0004 tamper is but will have to charge a call out?

Just visiting..

Slightly off topic but I found myself at NSI headquarters today and the locksmith next to me asked "so what standard are we supposed to be installing our wireless only alarms to then"... Thought he was a bit far into the process for a question like that. He thought power max was the best panel on the market. The downside is I know they'll hold his hand all the way and badge him anyway. Very odd.

Why on earth would that be the the case - what would be the point? As I said previously, we have done and would still do installs/upgrade/signalling/commissioning and handovers. I had said servicing before but actually thinking I can't ever remember doing any for anyone else.

Thinking back... Can't remember doing any for the main company we've subbed for but definitely remember being asked by a baby national (Gold) to do some servicing work as they were paying X per service.

Bit more than a man and a van thank you.

We do very little if any subbing anymore but in the past have installed/commissioned/serviced/connected signalling/hand over plenty of systems. But I did work for that company on the cards for several years so it's not like I was an unknown. Oddly, we just picked up a job for them next week - first one this year.

Just power the damn thing up! Its like the spider myth, never seen it once in over a decade.

Good attitude..

did you actually read any of my posts? lol
