Use what the manufacturers recommend. I agree, would use Belden for RS485, that's what it's designed for.

Cost hight? Definitely biased

never installed one but it sounds like something that should be in the user guide.

Sometimes the weight issue is more to do with how balanced the drill is. If the battery is at the front it can feel twice as heavy as others.

They are free, Apple and Android.

Your looking at kit that the installers you have quotes from may have never fitted. If you are really unsure from what we have said so far, the only other things I can think of is:- Mesh, Texecom is Mesh based this maybe a good thing or it maybe a not so good thing. Generally you need more devices to increase signal security, with the idea that devices talk to each other not just to the controls. In a normal house the mesh will make little difference either should work fine. Range of devices, I know that Texecom has a large range of kit from Outdoor PIR's, DT's, Smokes, PA's .... As for others I don't know them well enough to comment on there range of kit.

The usual advice is get at least three quotes from approved companies. Choose the one you feel comfortable with and suits your needs, not necessarily the cheapest. Have you also compared warranty periods, maintenance procedures and service costs?

I would think less about the kit and more about the installer. I would go Texecom but only because that is preferred kit that I know very well. Different installers will use different kit that suits there company and they are trained and experienced on.

Inspectors make there own rules up...

Would only use pet sensors as a last resort, best to install perimeter protection in those areas. Bosch ones seem to work well.

Eh? Anyway glad your sorted.

Assuming they're wired devices, it still sounds like a programming issue. It should work OTB, maybe if you can't find the attribute that's been changed start a fresh. I would also start to consider if the detectors are in the best location.

Something is programmed incorrectly. This shouldn't happen. Call a local installer?

You can't that would defeat the object of the alarm.

I agree, this is a case that the ICO have been watching closely. They are currently working with the MoJ on how this is to effect UK law, but no update has been given AFAIK.

I think you will find there are outstanding changes as of December last year. ICO have updated there website to reflect these changes.

That is not how the ICO interpret it, since the exemption changes last year.

Mains could have surged when they put the power back on.

Time to start selling iD biscuits for £50 each then.

Do you not have a WP to test?

Most guns have a power lever to adjust depth.

Yeah there's Lead Carbon, Sealed Gel but also LiFePo batteries are getting popular for mobility stuff and available in 7Ah I believe. But again is it worth the cost, really the system needs checking yearly anyway.

Lol, bit tricky to get the right voltage. You can get other types like gel and lithium but are they really worth the extra?
