True, if I ever wanted a simple proscribed point of civil law clarifying the last person I'd ask is a copper.

The producer and his son, what a *******.

you was robbed!

Haven't watched it for years

I had a great way of blocking ads on the PC using the Hosts file. Unfortunately I need to see if I can do the same at the router for youview...

Hmm, sounds like PR chain rattling to me... Time will tell.

Yes, indeed it's easy to forget most JP aren't as stupid as the average alarm monkey!

Lets all go hold hands in fairy land...

Exactly, although good for attracting attention in hospital when theres no intercomm...

Alarmed cover, alarm which self-resets?

Im sure they could but will they?

Proper verification of trade or as easy as I got a risco trade account accidentally using my home address and email (auto form fill)? If it's as easy as registering online as Johns Security, 22 Acacia Avenue, it might as well be DIY.

Get paid? Slightly better effort than my smelly alarm joke How come they went to a security Co rather than broadcast? Oh yeah, cost?!

Used to use these when we did a lot of Cat5 stuff for someone I worked for. Horrible things IMHO.

Yep this is it when you're checking every year, it's not so relevant.

Was it something like lead carbon I saw in Rs last year, five times the price but a ten year warranty?

Has anyone ever thought of making a 7aH battery comprised of several bellbox batteries?

You're saying that, but £kitchen socket + £reconnection + £carrying on with existing monitoring = £? Vs. takeover and digiair = £? Could be drastically different over the long run. If ADT had offered a GPRS solution, I wouldn't have taken any issue with that, at all. I am NOT anti ADT (or any national) OP, the reasons the wireless extender is no good (and this may differ to how you understood it / how it was explained) is.. 1. It may not support the kinds of data the alarm transmits due to very tight bandwidth / clipping 2. It may or may not provide 50V when the 'telephone' (alarm modem) is perceived to be 'on hook'. 3. If the above is wrong, in that case it would almost certainly still provide 50V even when there is no outside line, so the alarm would not know the line had been cut / failed. 4. If the power were to fail (or, more importantly, be turned off deliberately) your alarm would not communicate, at all.

No, it sounded to me as if ADT had already given their options / reasons to the OP and he didn't like either of them. They also stated that to wire a socket would be very difficult if not impossible. So GPRS would have been a good solution.

Ditch ADT and get a contract with someone offering gprs digiair or better yet dual path monitoring. Telephone lines are yesterdays technology for monitoring. It all depends on the system you have, of course. Is it entirely wireless?

Yes just to be clear the speaker goes to the two terminals with the speaker symbol 'above' (on your upright pic) the Strobe - and + terminals. Not 'SOUND'. If you connect a speaker to the bell, yes, the speaker at least will probably go pop!

The SOINT1 is just a speaker... http://www.cqr.co.uk/images/stories/cqr_pdf/Internal%20Sounders/insound_soint.pdf Sure it wasn't a SOINT2? Or connected wrongly?

Suppose it depends if you are just trying to demonstrate an above average level of antisocial behaviour to plod / council rather than court as such. Still not the greatest kit though, even by budget standards.

+1 Axis are bulletproof, and no mickey mouse company to deal with either, which is a bonus.

Yeah thought that except customer says they got to choose the kitchen but were never offered an alarm Maybe some Co they had lined up pulled out Oh and there is a no bellbox covenant on the whole estate, oops!!
