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.

We've got two of the ********. It'll be 4 when we move, I just know it.

**** that looks like Adi with a gun. Better get the tazer out...

Hi there, I deleted your duplicate thread btw - please only start a topic in one forum. Anyway, we've got whippets and I know Italian ones are usually really tiny. I have just done a job using Siemens e-Line with 6 cats, and all seems well so far. If it wasn't policed I'd say give it a cautious try... And if the dogs are like most sighthounds and the owner is like most whippet owners, it's not usually possible or desireable to confine them to small space.

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!!

Sized up a job this week where no wiring in a new build but a spur on a dedicated circuit marked alarm. Must have been for a wireless system but not even a keypad wire. Odd.

Im qual but not part p, as I try to avoid panels in bathrooms and Sheds! And non domestic isnt under the scheme as we all know. All paperwork using iet model forms.

There is absolutely no requirement for any additional fused spur being added to a ring circuit or lighting circuit to be doneby a Part P bod. But it should be a competent person and should be certificated for the tests that were done. Obvious exceptions would be; Domestics in a Bathroom or when any part of the cable runs outdoors with a junction box also being outside Connecting direct to the CU and prob lots of others....

It depends on the model - Rokonet has been Risco for some time now and a bit lazy if they haven't updated their info by now. I have no experience of the cheaper models but if it's the I-Wise quad PIR then I'd say go for it. The Texecom Premier is a good system. As Norm, you can save yourself £200 now which I guarantee you'll have to pay back over the next 2 years in extra servicing costs, which can't be avoided if they relate to detector batteries.

How about a PCB only upgrade kit?

Lol. Is that another TOTP with an intro Jimmy / DLT / whoever we haven't found out about yet badly cut out? The german subtitles suggest otherwise...! Topen das pophits...?

Lol, yeah thats the way to get their attention! As for sad but true... Don't get me wrong, it IS sad. But there are so many things I do now, that I couldn't do, with the handcuffs. And very little worthwhile that I couldn't. My ARC, for all the slagging by others, is well put together and professionally run. When I do CCTV, what am I gaining by doing a proper written spec, site plans, BS based handover checklist oh, but then having to pay £18 to someone for.... er....? And the chance they might bring up something about not using the correct font for the full stops, whilst the Gold guy down the road fits ungraded contacts on a G2 and does sticky ball tape joints in the loft? I'm always looking to improve my knowledge, and fire is definitely something I do want to get into and do properly, I'd rather spend the approval money on proper quals for that quite frankly.
