  1. Don't think those Zodiac's have internal resistors, but it's not something I fit. You don't have to replace the sensors if they are functional but it would probably be best to do so for relaiblity. Even detection without resistors can be installed with 1/4W resistors but they should always go at the detector end.
  2. Device Manager > Action > Add Legacy Hardware - then follow the wizard?
  3. As above, most devices have resistors built in now for our market. You would follow the detection instructions as to which are for power or zone.
  4. If your system is exempt from needing to register you won't need to contact them, they would write to you if they receive a complaint. ICO wouldn't get involved in site visits etc, that would be police or council. I don't believe you have done anything wrong, I just feel from what you have said your method of application has possibly provoked the situation. Also considering that there are always two sides to these things...
  5. ActiveX has been depreciated for years due to security issues but tat CCTV still keeps coming with it.
  6. Possibly yes. Best thing is to maintain dialogue with with police, council, ICO, solicitors etc.
  7. It seems like you needed to vent... but I wouldn't expect most to read a post of this length. PTZ and audio on domestic is generally a bad idea, people feel overlooked even if you don't use it that way. I have seen situations were councils have sent papers to have cameras removed after/during neighbour disputes, they seem to find allsorts of old legislation to back this up. Can be a loosing battle as they are looking for the quickest way to remove the issue. Fixed camera installations are covered under different rules to doorbells. This doesn't mean you can't breach privacy or DPA with a doorbell tho. Recording audio 24/7 generally creates these issues which is why I wouldn't recommend. I assume your system isn't registered with the ICO? What evidence do they have for branch of privacy? If you are able to hear audio from their property then I would say it's an obvious privacy issue. I think your at the point its time to find a good solicitor if you plan to stay and fight but expect to spend. Mediation would be cheaper but I doubt that it would happen now if you have pressed charges and he is contacting solicitors. Also bear in mind that post you linked is from 2015
  8. Not really played with Orisec much. Could they have dropped support for older panels on there platform for new connections, hence why you keep getting told it's not supported? Explains a local only connection? Is some firewall setup required? Most manufacturers will give installer support on the phone for a while after a product is EOL.
  9. Just consider permanently illuminated external sounders require planning permission, if the decal space is used. I would disable anyway. Make sure the controls are in full working order, charging rates, voltages etc; before only replacing the siren.
  10. So it is tat after all... Odd how different the PCB design is for a "clone"
  11. Do those support DP? Haven't seen a comet before. It may "work" then, even if I don't rate Rokonet. Still, everything else stands.
  12. Expensive tat? Never seen them before and there is no image I can find from a quick search of the internals. Doubt they conform to BS EN. No PIR is truly pet "immune", it also relies on the system design being able to take these replacements. Many would recommend the system should be redesigned to perimeter to suit your pets. In some instances they can work, I only rate Bosch for pet friendly. https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/intruder-alarm-c-36/movement-detectors-c-36_116/all-c-36_116_37/bosch-blue-line-gen2-pet-friendly-passiveinfrared-detector-p-2637.html I'd advise you speak to an installer to look at the system, if you don't want the hassle of false alarms.
  13. What sensors? Sounds incompatible or not for intruder.
  14. You'll take it all apart and it will likely (if working correctly) make noise until you have finished or until the noise pollution timer kicks in. There is no magic disable button or menu that makes it easy to disable, back doors like that could be exploited.
  15. 8 sirens? I would say the outputs are programmed incorrectly but can the panel even support all this stuff your trying to power.
  16. From what I see resistor will be required, from a TAMP to -ve in the new box. The relay would be in the panel labelled Sounder and the common side will likely be -ve. Old box has the strobe and bell trig wired together from what I can see these are separate in the new box, hence 6 wires not 4.
  17. You'll only need the 6 terminals with old wiring in if that helps. Is the resistor in the old box? Does the PX use the sounder relay for the bell?
  18. Never liked them in red, look nice in race trim. Yellow looks alright but I wouldn't have a yellow car, get followed around by bees and wasps on every warm day.
  19. It's ungraded DIY tat that sends all your data to Amazon?
  20. Installers are usually only trained on the kit they install, yes they are all similar to a degree but you pick up the little quirks each system has when you fit the same kit regularly. I would usually say if your not happy with your service tell them your not happy and why, if they can't resolve it find someone else. As you have started poking in the panel already your unlikely to get much help from them without it being considered a takeover so you maybe best to move on.
  21. I don't like throwing away serviceable kit but I rarely want to take on Risco kit; from experience it's flaky at best. No decent system is officially end user supported, they are pretty much all trade only products. If you want cloud accounts this usually has to be via registered installers. You'd be better to find a new installer than shopping for another panel, installers are trained on their manufacturer of choice. You may find one happy to work with what you have.
  22. Ear defenders and a big hammer until it's stopped making a noise? At that age fixings and hardware are usually seized. Disturbing any tamper circuit on a siren should trigger external and internal alarms. They are all different designs for the electronics inside, we are not a resource to teach people how to disable systems... The strobe is usually high voltage and will knock you off your ladders, so be careful what you poke.
