  1. Meq's? Wired in cat5 as well by the looks of it.
  2. You have tampers on those zones. Haven't fitted one in years. Are they zones wired DP or EOL? How is it programmed?
  3. I'm getting about 6meg down 1 meg up at the moment. My exchange is taking orders according to open reach but neither BT or Sky will accept a order for infinity .
  4. My street doesn't have fibre from VM and BT fibre has been coming soon for about a year. VM say there isn't enough demand to sort my street but the next street over has fibre. If I could leave sky and BT behind I would.
  5. Because getting a a static IP on a domestic can be a pain. Sky refused to give me one
  6. Why not just use 4 quad switchers instead of DVRs. Cameras into DVR.> Loop through onto switchers> 1 coax between switcher and TVs
  7. They aren't that difficult to do. Its not the router
  8. Its not the router it just how you've set it up. Assign the DVR a device name and then re do the DMZ
  9. Might have different termology I don't think you can turn it off tho. Please correct me if I'm wrong
  10. The loop back stops the customer from using the dynamic DNS we setup when they are on their own WiFi So they end up having 2 sites in the app for the same place 1-local (when on same WiFi as the dvr) 2-remote (everywhere else) So use the customers router. Had a few issues with Homehubs but nothing major recently same with the technicolour ones I've done quite a few now no issues.
  11. Done it with a Rio in a GD before. The G2's are a bit small for it tho.
  12. Technicolour are a heap of ***** but I've never had one that didn't work first time. I've noticed there's quite a few routers now with the loopback blocking turned on.
  13. Galaxy for almost all new installs and enforcer for domestic wireless.
  14. I think I was told a month off work, was never going to happen tho. An hr after surgery I was on the phone with the office and UDLing panels from the iPad for the other lads sorting things out and ordering gear. Kept getting told by the nurse my blood pressure was too high and I needed to get some rest. I'd agree with the 6 weeks for horses tho I was still tender for about 2 weeks after.
  15. Same thing happened to me last July. Thursday morning in agany by Friday lu CH time having key holder. Sh'll be fine after a few days. I was back at work after a week
  16. Used to have a set a few years ago wasn't aware they had stopped doing them. Everything is PDF now anyway. Didn't think anyone would want a paper copy
  17. Door contact on the front door is a preferred method for most. Yes the PIR can be set to delay. Did you install the system or was it installed by a company?
  18. Nothing wrong with the kit. Most companies will stick to what they know and are setup for as far as remote assistance etc goes. Get 3 quotes and go with your gut .
  19. I have the k9-85's installed at home. With a cat and a smallish terrier , Fitted loads over the years. Not had any issues. As long as the cat can't get within about 1mtr of the sensor you should be fine. Can't comment on the optex or texecom as we don't use them. Nothing against texe we have a few on the cards,just installers preference. Go with your gut feeling on the company don't just judge them on price.
  20. Just in the interest to comparability ive fitted some of the Honeywell wireless smokes. No issues and also have self contained sounder.
  21. Most installers will have a preferance. Galaxy for me tho. Get quotes from 3/4 SSAIB or NSI approved company's choose whoever feels right. Not nessessarly the cheapest. Its worth asking about warrenty(usually at least 12 months) and call out charges etc. Also might he worth asking if there is any remote assistance from your installer( we offer this as standard on Galaxy systems)
  22. That panel is obsolete now as has been for a while. I'd reccomend contacting a local approved company and getting it serviced. It will most likely require a new standby battery.
  23. Run 1 8core to each device. And screened cable to the keypad. Extra cable from panel into loft space. And run one into garage for keypad
