  1. I'd be surprised a house with a flush keypad fitted would only need 3 sensors...

    If your having a company in it's no good recommending kit, they will use what they support.

    If you found somewhere reliable that supports Galaxy then less repair work.

    Usual recommendation is 3 quotes, go with the place that makes you feel the most comfortable NOT just the cheapest.

  2. There can be unforeseen planning permission issues and they are unnecessary light pollution.

    You can fit them without connecting the backlight on the X's, but can purchase the twin siren non-X ones for similar price.

    Covering a new box with what I guess is some old C-Type cover would remove the deterrent of a shiny new box and reduce sound output.

    If you are thinking of not buying a lid for this sounder it just will not work, they need a compatible lid.

  3. Support for products are for trade installers.

    1 Mostly, PCB and Software same. Cab allows larger standby and larger output PSU.

    2 iProx will work

    3 It's extra outdoor reader, pretty sure it's one external reader per iProx

    4 No tags come with iProx

    5 Smartcom is compatible but need a trade account to register for Cloud only "DIY option" is GSM-COM

    6 Either but neither is Prox

    7 This is where you start to seem completely lost - it's just another keypad variant with Prox and yes you'll need a keypad.

    8 You haven't got a wireless system, most bells will work but I wouldn't use a backlit one.

    9 Again not wireless system and a random Enforcer passive...!?

     

    I think you should seriously consider getting a quote for someone to do it, if you value your time and security.

    Your not sure on product types or what is compatible and how it goes together.

    Very little of it will come with a manual, some older stock may have a quick leaflet but not the panels.

    Whatever your trying to do with this iProx stuff will rely on good programming knowledge to get working, I'd query the design. 

     

  4. Not much will work in a faraday cage obviously. Metal will reduce range.

    Mesh is better with more nodes, so having single devices to repeat through like a bridge is not ideal.

    Having a couple of contacts local end, direct to devices in the remote building much better.

    If this isn't suitable I'd say it needs a self contained system and would steer towards that option anyway dependant on usage of the buildings.

     

  5. There is plenty of DIY junk on the market. As you may have discovered from the other threads no installer would fit it.

    As pointed out there is no wireless power so if batteries you'll be forever replacing them.

    One issue often overlooked at a DIY level for CCTV is that if connected to the internet you are hosting a server, therefore open to attack.

    Cheap stuff has poor software and security not chance of updates. It will be backdoored very quickly allowing others to monitor you while mining themselves some bitcoin with your electricity...

     

  6. There is add-on third party tat available but it wouldn't be recommended.

    More cost effective to upgrade the system, most decent systems with apps are engineer install only or subscription.

    Subscription push apps and monitoring shouldn't be confused they are different services, as is the pricing of them.

    If you want a message server to be reliable someone has to pay for that service somewhere...

     

    If it's serviced regularly and reliable so it doesn't cry wolf. Most decent neighbours would get a message to you.

  7. Would need upgrading, Veritas is really basic.

    Smartcom for Premier app needs an installer account.

    You'd need prox keypad if your calling prox tags "keyfobs", maybe you mean something else.

    Sensors should work they'd probably be double pole, but I'd replace them anyway.

     

  8. Clickbait article with little substance IMO. Yes, it questions something we believe to be true I suppose based around the pigeonhole theory, but it's down to how may holes (datapoints) and how many pigeons (people).

    Article changes topic into people unlocking each others iPhones as "evidence". As I'm sure you've seen in the field the issue with biometrics is that the more processing of datapoints the more processing power or time it would take to make a decision. Also user issues with false positives or negatives based around us being squishy humans with skin changes during the period of a day, so it's using a relatively low amount of datapoints on devices like that.

    Forensics these are processed differently from what an AI would be doing. IMO AI should be seen as a powerful tool but only to assist with actions that are to be reviewed by a time served human in all cases.

     

  9. I wouldn't be messing about arguing with a customer and looking at a website at the side of the motorway. If already paid I'm doing it or not and then GTFOASAP.

    Agreed, complete idiot of a customer and the terms seem fine considering your paying for the convenience of call out with equipment and danger of working in live traffic.

    Altho TBF tyre is cheap Chinese thing replacing a Bridgestone, but he's right they are a stupid size and like a rubber band so probably an arse to fit.

    Does it matter to get you home and off the motorway... the longer your on the shoulder more chance a HGV wipes you out...
