  1. Really? Encryption is fundamental to any secure data that needs transmitting, this concept does back centuries to well before computers.

    Original Redcare was an amazing product back in the day, it would work over wet string, had continuous encrypted signalling and 30s polling with no data costs.

    Nothing will be able to copy it, it requires having the infrastructure. Obviously there were downsides to the product which will explain the wind down.

    Everyone is jumping on the massive strength of the Redcare brand to sell there new tat. The product name is known fairly well outside the industry.

     

  2. It's not just 1 contact tho, it's 3...

    EOL will be wired different at the controls end.

     

    Assuming this is three single doors, convert your 6-core into a data line for an expander adjacent to the first door, take single cables from the expander to each door.

    Wire it however you want not sure if Orisec supports DP from an Exp. EOL would be better but you could have issues with stuffing 1/4W resistors in tiny old style contacts if your reusing them. Most would replace the contacts. Program panel accordingly.

    This has the benefits of:- single fault will only take out one door, you can isolate doors individually, you know which door has an alarm or fault without taking the lot to bits, your cable to the sheds is a data line instead of DP so it's tampered in a better way.

  3. I just wouldn't, especially on a modern panel with more options. One zone per device, so you can diagnose any problems.

    Your sketch seems alright assuming it's DP, time to get the multimeter out take everything apart and work out what's going on.

  4. Having listened to the podcast already it's not related, images came from social media.

    It will take a defence lawyer to get the evidence thrown out on possible deepfake grounds, for change to happen.

    If you handle evidence properly with decent kit it shouldn't be an issue.

  5. I'd be surprised a house with a flush keypad fitted would only need 3 sensors...

    If your having a company in it's no good recommending kit, they will use what they support.

    If you found somewhere reliable that supports Galaxy then less repair work.

    Usual recommendation is 3 quotes, go with the place that makes you feel the most comfortable NOT just the cheapest.

  6. There can be unforeseen planning permission issues and they are unnecessary light pollution.

    You can fit them without connecting the backlight on the X's, but can purchase the twin siren non-X ones for similar price.

    Covering a new box with what I guess is some old C-Type cover would remove the deterrent of a shiny new box and reduce sound output.

    If you are thinking of not buying a lid for this sounder it just will not work, they need a compatible lid.

  7. Support for products are for trade installers.

    1 Mostly, PCB and Software same. Cab allows larger standby and larger output PSU.

    2 iProx will work

    3 It's extra outdoor reader, pretty sure it's one external reader per iProx

    4 No tags come with iProx

    5 Smartcom is compatible but need a trade account to register for Cloud only "DIY option" is GSM-COM

    6 Either but neither is Prox

    7 This is where you start to seem completely lost - it's just another keypad variant with Prox and yes you'll need a keypad.

    8 You haven't got a wireless system, most bells will work but I wouldn't use a backlit one.

    9 Again not wireless system and a random Enforcer passive...!?

     

    I think you should seriously consider getting a quote for someone to do it, if you value your time and security.

    Your not sure on product types or what is compatible and how it goes together.

    Very little of it will come with a manual, some older stock may have a quick leaflet but not the panels.

    Whatever your trying to do with this iProx stuff will rely on good programming knowledge to get working, I'd query the design. 

     

  8. 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.

     

  9. 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...
