  1. So hack the smartphone and you have full access? Do you realise how easy it is to comprimse android devices and get full access without the user being aware? It's a piece of piss, and many are exploiting it. I wouldn't be putting my name to that sort of risk, especially something built to the usual chinese standards.

  2. I tried leafleting various areas, nearly all timewasters calling off the back of them, now i just leaflet the 2 or 3 streets surrounding my new installs/takeovers, that generates a lot of good leads, usually after they have spoken to the customer, deltabell x lightbox with my logo printed in translucent ink generates a lot of interest.

    Do you work in access control? Please list some cases caused by Chinese product. I want to learn about it. Thanks

    Many chinese power supplies, if the neutral becomes disconnected but the live remains, such as in the case of a severed cable or supply grid fault, the output side of the supply can rise to supply potential, giving 240v where only 12v is supposed to go. Fire and electrocution is a very real possibility, especially since so many chinese products come with no fuse protection and undersized wiring.

    about 2 thirds of the ones we investigated had underrated components, inadequate primary-secondary isolation, single component failures can cause either supply potential at output terminals or the device to catch fire. The plastic housings are of poor construction, a small knock can smash them leaving bare live unfused connections. Thousands of other examples but i don't have all day to list them. There is no regulation to stop these parasitic companies putting out dangerous equipment with falsified specs, in the uk, at least there traditionally has been a guaranteed minimum standard of quality and safety so people who buy on price alone still get a reasonably safe product that does roughly what it says on the box(except maybe british cars, maybe communist manufacture is the common denominator in **** quality?), dealing with chinese companies, there are no such safeguards, anything goes and there are a lot of scum getting away with outright theft. Until something is done about that side of things even good chinese products will be disregarded as chinktat unfortunately.

  4. It has no bearing on the uk market at all, although its not that hard to get a product through, at least it wasn't in 2004 when i was involved in getting telecoms, epos and gaming psus ul approved for export to the us working for a very small manufacturer, send the product off, either make any changes they request or argue the toss, to which they will change their decision if you present a valid argument to them. I can see how it would be difficult to get the majority of the dangerous chinese ***** flooding the market these days by them though, but that doesn't stop them putting ul on the label anyway.
