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.

Fully agree, I have said it before. Devaluing the industry and being beta testers for consumer kit.

I don't believe there is a regulation to specifically ban them in built up areas. All the domestic blasters I have fitted have been indoor, blasters are easily defeated so they have to be mounted hidden and out of way. The only issue I could see sound wise is neighbours complaining to LA over excessive noise pollution, either because of the volume or if a fault occurred and the blaster ran with no timer.

I don't do social media. My opinion is it can work if you have someone looking after it full time, if you want low maintenance don't bother. Advertising on the internet is a whole ball of SEO and a half decent website. Just having a website is enough if people wish to find you.

The alarm should be design so you can't defeat it by disconnecting it. You will need to remove each device, the bell will ring out while you remove it so take some ear defenders up the ladder with you.

You need at least four cores for an SCB/SAB. If you do have four you will need to check they work.

I don't understand why you would make a system less sensitive while the site is unoccupied. As for using the fire sounders for security, I just wouldn't.

Hi, quite a long first post. Am I missing something here, why is the intruder triggering the fire alarm? Forget all the technical side for now, what does the consultant want/expect to achieve by linking the systems?

Good to know.

Chav sign with no planning permission who'd do a thing like that?
