  1. 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.
  2. Sound bombs are bin fodder. It sounds like something that has high enough risk that I'd be thinking needs signalling.
  3. 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.
  4. It's a wired panel that could be expanded into wireless with extra kit but it's NOT wireless or hybrid OOTB.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. There isn't assuming it's decent Cat5e. Ethernet goes ~100m, what you can power depends on kit. You could use a midspan if more power is required.
  8. 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...
  9. Also branded as Honeywell/Intellisense/Tate/C&K/Securit... Completely obsolete and not worth fitting, no alternatives so you would be looking used if you really wanted to keep the panel. I'd try and sell it and fit something modern, sensors too.
  10. There is add-on third party tat available but it wouldn't be recommended. More cost effective to upgrade the system, most decent systems with apps are engineer install only or subscription. Subscription push apps and monitoring shouldn't be confused they are different services, as is the pricing of them. If you want a message server to be reliable someone has to pay for that service somewhere... If it's serviced regularly and reliable so it doesn't cry wolf. Most decent neighbours would get a message to you.
  11. Carefully as above and mount with walldogs
  12. Yep, "Non volatile" as in it should remember settings even with no power.
  13. If it's lost memory it's not FFP and needs removing. Can't be considered reliable if an NVM forgets.
  14. Would need upgrading, Veritas is really basic. Smartcom for Premier app needs an installer account. You'd need prox keypad if your calling prox tags "keyfobs", maybe you mean something else. Sensors should work they'd probably be double pole, but I'd replace them anyway.
  15. Some manufacturers have an output option of "Zone Mimic" which you then just select the zone you want to mimic. Job done. I'd imagine you'd have to use Links on a Gal, I'd be surprised if there isn't an example for something like that in the manual...
  16. I don't play with Galaxy much but you just want Zone Mimic outputs?
  17. Clickbait article with little substance IMO. Yes, it questions something we believe to be true I suppose based around the pigeonhole theory, but it's down to how may holes (datapoints) and how many pigeons (people). Article changes topic into people unlocking each others iPhones as "evidence". As I'm sure you've seen in the field the issue with biometrics is that the more processing of datapoints the more processing power or time it would take to make a decision. Also user issues with false positives or negatives based around us being squishy humans with skin changes during the period of a day, so it's using a relatively low amount of datapoints on devices like that. Forensics these are processed differently from what an AI would be doing. IMO AI should be seen as a powerful tool but only to assist with actions that are to be reviewed by a time served human in all cases.
  18. So what happened 6 years later? Hopefully, a stand alone fire system and not what the topic says...
  19. I wouldn't be messing about arguing with a customer and looking at a website at the side of the motorway. If already paid I'm doing it or not and then GTFOASAP. Agreed, complete idiot of a customer and the terms seem fine considering your paying for the convenience of call out with equipment and danger of working in live traffic. Altho TBF tyre is cheap Chinese thing replacing a Bridgestone, but he's right they are a stupid size and like a rubber band so probably an arse to fit. Does it matter to get you home and off the motorway... the longer your on the shoulder more chance a HGV wipes you out...
  20. You on about Mr Dingers on insta? Most stuff over here seems to disappear, most likely into bits in a container to somewhere... Youth joyriding is more bikes of all types and powertrains.
  21. Still huge pieces of the puzzle missing... is the system wireless? is this an entry route? how much CCTV footage did you see? If wearing a thick parker would avoid detection then the devices wouldn't be FFP, as it would become a common attack. Thermal cloaking is in the realm of military tech, not your average burglar looking for till cash. A confirmed system I would be wanting overlapping DT's in confirmed areas.
  22. You've not really expanded on the questions in the thread. As above I'd be checking efficacy and looking at what was quoted on the spec. If they are just PIR's then I would would be thinking poor system design for the risk on policed. More likely to have checked the coverage in the days prior and avoided detection than any sort of blocking.
