Agreed, it makes sense for a few reasons, so I realised at the time. a) You don't need to reset if you have a site with intermittent issues (as at G3 tamper should be eng reset) b) It displays on the keypad and log as a separate event to a tamper, increasing your information for diagnosis. c) Mask on most controls is above 10K, having this huge shunt resistance increases the threshold of any fluctuations from the reed.

Tamper loop is part of the interference reed circuit on most of the ones I have fitted. I remember a thread a good while back, had issues with both CQR and Elmdene on one site, seemed to be environmental. At least with the Elmdene there technical explained which colours did what so I could make interference reed trigger masked instead of tamper, you have no option with CQR.

Really? I was wondering why it wasn't like that in the first place....

Beams?

You'd hope so.

Tags going missing or lost in the mud, not enough staff to man the clocking in and out, scouts passing back or swapping tags. I can foresee plenty to go wrong.

MBR only supports addressing upto 32 bits which is the limitation on 2TB I don't recall seeing a PATA drive larger than 750GB.

Second that, once caught glimpse of a baby being preped for embalming, while doing a walk test.

Most of these little domestic panels are non-conforming or G1 anyway. It's just common sense not to display the system state outside the protected area, never mind regs. The panel is too basic to program anything useful from the outputs for indicating arm ok.

I think access control on a scout camp is asking for headaches and trouble. I would look at something more suited to controlling large mobs of people like festival tags for example.

It's possible but all down to cost. If too expensive with no extra benefit it will not be worth it, therefore suffering the fate of SDI or not even getting to production.

Guessing you'd have to source IDE drive, or SATA convertor if old. Also possible the machine will not record to External if internal is faulty.

It may have factory reset. It's likely it will need a replacement battery. It should shut up if you guess the code.

RP is responsible for isolation due to works, should have been done before your permit to work was issued.

It's possible if partly blocked to trigger fire condition.

It has gone out of favour in the CCTV industry. Most distributors are switching from SDI to CVI or AHD models. It's a shame it's a good transmission method and used widely in the film industry with current standards supporting upto UHD resolutions. With limited DVR compatibility, higher price and low transmission distance it would seem costs have driven the market to more lossy formats. The future is IP. If the price is right I can see PoE EoC becoming popular for those jobs that require it.

Prox tags are way easier than the smartkeys. I would be a little concerned of access to the EWD as I imagine the 3rd floor is pretty high.

Probably, hence I emphasise comfortable. As many would look at quotes based on price.

I'd ditch the smartkeys. There's not a lot of information on the detection. Why is the bell installed by customer? It's always recommended to get at least 3 quotes and go with the company you feel most comfortable with, not necessarily the cheapest.

But no one can contact you as you haven't made 5 posts yet... Are you an end user? Do you not have a maintainer for your alarm? They should be the ones supplying you with fobs. Do you know what Galaxy it is?

There still could be quality issues even with the "same" firmware. The firmware just like the hardware could have been RE'd and loading official firmware may cause buggy behaviour. There are copies of all sorts of electronic stuff, sometimes they're so convincing you only find out when it goes wrong.

It happens

death traps?

It is posted in the Public Gadgets forum...

Must still have a tamper somewhere.
