  1. Texecom travel all over the show, they provide support to other countries. So I doubt an island in the channel would be an issue?
  2. IMO this is going way off topic, but... You keep referring this to the same as "engineers codes", most seem to agree this is not the case. If any professional in the trade was fitting cheap DVR's shown as examples here, they won't be worried and neither will the customer. I don't know what you believe trade areas of the forum are for but there are no "engineers codes" shared on this site, trade or public.
  3. Meh, Visonic... The warning will be something else not the keyfob. Keyfobs should enroll easily with the ID, arm and disarm with them and will show networked.
  4. Depending on the standby time you could have the geny on during daylight hours. When work is complete recommend the batteries to be replaced. I recommended this same thing for a customer that was having a three phase supply installed to replace a single phase supply. The system worked overnight and recharged on the geny during the day, was over a weekend IIRC. Worked well, replaced the 8x 7Ah in the ACU's the Monday after they had finished. RE mags, should have a constant current however there is a higher inrush when energising.
  5. I believe there just conventional too.
  6. Hi you will need to make 5 posts before the PM system will open. Feel free to browse the forums and contribute to the site.
  7. I don't believe Scantronic will support multiple shunt resistors. So maybe two zones or different controls?
  8. Generator for temporary mains supply seems sensible?
  9. Not any more, there was a thread a few months back about it. The domestic exemption only covers your property now.
  10. Welcome back. 1) Maybe consider the rear left corner instead? (position as if facing the front door) The sensor will be of no use if hiding behind a curtain. 2) Are you considering a keypad upstairs to arm the system at night? If not the sensor will need to be a walk-through zone anyway, could be front right adjacent the door but opposite the keypad. However, if you arm it upstairs another option is make the hall full alarm and leave as post 5.
  11. Shouldn't matter about DDNS on these.
  12. http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/site-rules-and-disclaimer.html
  13. As a rule:- Best Quality possible. Limit the frame rate for your duration. Anything over 12fps is pointless IMO. The guide I use is 1-5fps scheduled and 6-12fps motion/alarm (if available), depending on storage time. Better to have 2 weeks of quality footage than 4 months of useless high fps rubbish.
  14. Yes all buildings, but if you read all the regulations there are a few situations they could be used.
  15. These require good knowledge of IT and Premier Panels to setup. Sounds like you have the panel or ComWifi incorrectly programmed. Best I can offer is start again and follow the manual for the ComWifi word for word, reading several times before starting. External Dynamic or Fixed IP will not matter if setup correctly.
  16. Audio causes issues with privacy and should be avoided. They need to be clear of the purpose of the audio recording, needs to be a justified reason.
  17. To each there own, I can't stand Galaxy. You will find every installer/company has there favourite products that suit their setup.
  18. Well the controls could be moved if it's a wireless system, it depends if every devices is wireless. Should be more to an alarm than sensors. Wireless phone extension will not work for a number of reasons, wouldn't even bother. Let us know how it goes with your ADT rep.
  19. Well I wouldn't choose either of the three options. If there is no hope of cabling the line I would ask if they have a GPRS/GSM monitoring solution suitable for your system. Failing that you are only left with option 3 or removing the signalling.
  20. 1) there is a volume control I think you probably haven't found the right one. 2) Yes 1, 2 or 3 3) Not sure what you mean there but yes probably. 4) You need to use part arm for lower exit tones, this is probably why you are having 1) in the first place. Configure in the Part Arm menu.
