Scantronic 9651 'checking Bus' Message On Exiting Engineering Mode
You can't escape without fixing all the faults.

Trying to think outside the box. Combined intruder alarm and CCTV.
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.

Can't see any issue with 25m just straight to devices.

Either separate systems or wireless depending on distance.

Advantage of CAT6 cable over CAT5 ? Voltage drop over length of run?
There isn't assuming it's decent Cat5e. Ethernet goes ~100m, what you can power depends on kit. You could use a midspan if more power is required.

CCTV kits, who to run with please?
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...

Challenger security products Excel8 (AP200) - New Old Stock
Also branded as Honeywell/Intellisense/Tate/C&K/Securit... Completely obsolete and not worth fitting, no alternatives so you would be looking used if you really wanted to keep the panel. I'd try and sell it and fit something modern, sensors too.

Intellisense alarm Securit 800L
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.

Carefully as above and mount with walldogs

Guardall Balmoral 5 installers manual
Yep, "Non volatile" as in it should remember settings even with no power.

Guardall Balmoral 5 installers manual
If it's lost memory it's not FFP and needs removing. Can't be considered reliable if an NVM forgets.

Upgrade Texecom Vertias Alarm
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.

Honeywell Galaxy - Links, is this what I need?
Some manufacturers have an output option of "Zone Mimic" which you then just select the zone you want to mimic. Job done. I'd imagine you'd have to use Links on a Gal, I'd be surprised if there isn't an example for something like that in the manual...

Honeywell Galaxy - Links, is this what I need?
I don't play with Galaxy much but you just want Zone Mimic outputs?

Is AI going to help reduce prison population...
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.

Sounders On Premier Elite For Fire Alarm Usage
So what happened 6 years later? Hopefully, a stand alone fire system and not what the topic says...

Turbo Mongs
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...

You on about Mr Dingers on insta? Most stuff over here seems to disappear, most likely into bits in a container to somewhere... Youth joyriding is more bikes of all types and powertrains.

HKC
Still huge pieces of the puzzle missing... is the system wireless? is this an entry route? how much CCTV footage did you see? If wearing a thick parker would avoid detection then the devices wouldn't be FFP, as it would become a common attack. Thermal cloaking is in the realm of military tech, not your average burglar looking for till cash. A confirmed system I would be wanting overlapping DT's in confirmed areas.

HKC
You've not really expanded on the questions in the thread. As above I'd be checking efficacy and looking at what was quoted on the spec. If they are just PIR's then I would would be thinking poor system design for the risk on policed. More likely to have checked the coverage in the days prior and avoided detection than any sort of blocking.

premier or premier elite ??
The cabs are similar and got refreshed while on the original version. The date sticker has been removed... sus. I assume the green sticker says 8.xx ? One Network with OP 4/5 = 88 What label?

It's a Premier 88, not Elite. https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/intruder-alarm-c-36/security-control-panels-c-36_102/control-panels-all-c-36_102_41/texecom-premier-elite-88-control-panel-p-369.html Don't buy junk from ebay...

Honeywell Galaxy 2-20 C020 - tamper screw
They are usually panhead self tappers, if I were to guess a size 6ga 1/2" ? The lid screw presses against a tamper lever which must be closed for the system to clear. Even if you put it back together correctly, it's also possible the system requires an engineer reset due to the tamper fault; even tho it maybe out of contract with ADT.
