CCTV kits, who to run with please?
sixwheeledbeast replied to SteveDaBeard's topic in !!..DIY Installers..!!
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... -
Intellisense alarm Securit 800L
sixwheeledbeast replied to smcvey's topic in Members Lounge (Public)
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. -
Carefully as above and mount with walldogs
-
Yep, "Non volatile" as in it should remember settings even with no power.
-
If it's lost memory it's not FFP and needs removing. Can't be considered reliable if an NVM forgets.

Upgrade Texecom Vertias Alarm
sixwheeledbeast replied to itsybitsyalarm's topic in !!..DIY Installers..!!
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. -
Honeywell Galaxy - Links, is this what I need?
sixwheeledbeast replied to Cieska's topic in General Security & Fire Queries
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... -

I don't play with Galaxy much but you just want Zone Mimic outputs? -
Is AI going to help reduce prison population...
sixwheeledbeast replied to james.wilson's topic in Members Lounge (Public)
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. -
Sounders On Premier Elite For Fire Alarm Usage
sixwheeledbeast replied to Michaelangelo999's topic in Guest Forum
So what happened 6 years later? Hopefully, a stand alone fire system and not what the topic says... -
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...

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.
-
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.
-
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.

Also who called the Police...?
-
So the alarm FTA for the break in?
-
The cabs are similar and got refreshed while on the original version. The date sticker has been removed... sus. I assume the green sticker says 8.xx ? One Network with OP 4/5 = 88 What label?

It's a Premier 88, not Elite. https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/intruder-alarm-c-36/security-control-panels-c-36_102/control-panels-all-c-36_102_41/texecom-premier-elite-88-control-panel-p-369.html Don't buy junk from ebay...

Honeywell Galaxy 2-20 C020 - tamper screw
sixwheeledbeast replied to CH58's topic in Members Lounge (Public)
They are usually panhead self tappers, if I were to guess a size 6ga 1/2" ? The lid screw presses against a tamper lever which must be closed for the system to clear. Even if you put it back together correctly, it's also possible the system requires an engineer reset due to the tamper fault; even tho it maybe out of contract with ADT. -
We do not provide defaulting or manuals here as per our guidelines. It's possible it's decommissioned for a reason, they aren't designed to be just switched off and on from the fuse and just work. Best to have an installer recommission it, but expect them to recommend an upgrade.

No!! -

sixwheeledbeast replied to Naeem ahmed's topic in !!..DIY Installers..!!
I think the point is you can get bad copies of anything on Amazon, Ebay or the like. They need to be disposable reputable batteries to be confident it's a device issue. -

Are they disposable batteries? I have had Scantronic contacts flatten batteries in 9-10 months regularly but never as little as 6. -
Texecom Premier Elite 24 systems alert fault
sixwheeledbeast replied to Apache24uk's topic in Guest Forum
Well defaulting the panel will mean you need to reprogram everything from scratch so I'd start there... Maybe concentrate on removing what you did and getting it working again if your not sure? Wired incorrectly is likely for Zone 9 but you don't say what they are wired into.
