Would depend on the cost of the module I suppose...

Yeah deffo looks like it.

Not in the sense there is no dial capture, and no way to add by the seems of it, unlike other models. I know Jim said the cost of such ICs, now becoming outdated, forced it to be an optional extra at the time on the main range, but assume CSL must be picking them up relatively cheap. I grant you Dial Capture is rather outdated but would have been nice for those with existing estates that don't support direct serial connections.

So targeted at 'UDL only' users as much as actual monitoring? I'd have to say this could be a step in the right direction - sadly, in a way, for domestic. Where they won't pay for monitoring but you don't want to have to call round when they decide the entry timer isn't long enough etc...

Get this all the time with BT tat - lucky all local sites other than Webways which obv don't suffer. They just seem to 'forget' the settings over time, poss after automatic fw upgrades.

Suspect he won't be back...

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.
