  1. TL;DR - Yes upgrade system.

     

    To expand because I am sure that's why you are here...

    The panel is obsolete so no parts are available. As an aside, I am surprised your keypad is still functional, most I see now you can hardly read the screen or press the code in with ease.

    Vo-Comm uses PSTN, you will not have this. The new router will probably have an ATA as you say but you will likely get issues with using this and it be unreliable, the same reason most fax machines are in the bin.

     

    Virgin just want you to switch and deal with the issue later, but in fairness all newly designed systems should either be radio i.e. SIM card or IP i.e WiFi/Ethernet as options, be that private reporting or monitoring.

     

    Even if you did it try connecting to the ATA and you were fortunate enough to have it work somewhat reliably, it would only take some router upgrade or power outage and it may stop working.

    You will be responsible for making sure the ATA works and has line voltage so the Vo-Comm can dial, your PSTN provider currently do that -- with ATA if the router is powered off or crashes; then no line/no message.

     

    These types of private reporting are not too reliable, so you may not care about it only working some of the time, there is no polling so who knows if it will work when you need anyway.

  2. Generally this is correct you can't open a siren without triggering it, but it will all depend on the system and it's condition tho.

    Faulty, poorly installed or wireless may react different.

    Engineers mode would disable internal warning devices on tamper, however wired bells (SAB) are self activating, it's in the name.

  3. One major difference between a proper system and a DIY system is there is no easy way to defeat them or decommission without making a racket...

    There is a second hand market for most things.

    I would suggest you reconsider carefully, removing a working system to replace for DIY is false economy.

  4. It's been a while but IIRC, TS690 was a domestic panel separate from the rest of the Network range.

    Usually + denoted DD243/Prox tags (ie TS900+) but I believe the TS690 did support tags (or at least I remember a version that did), as it replaced the TS700.

     

    Did you have tags before?

    Have you installed the reader correctly?

    Was it powered down when you installed it?

    How are you learning the tags?

    Are the tags or reader duff?

     

    OOI how much was this museum find of a keypad?

  5. I have said before it doesn't surprise me.

    There are currently 666 records on NVD related to Hikvision, most of these will be historical or duplicates for different products but how many DVR/NVR/IPC's do people go back to and update or replace?

    Every patch if you look back just seem like a reactive quick fix, some not so quick... It maybe better than DIY junk that's exploitable OOTB but they are suppose to be the market leader... cheap sells...
