As I say hang about Ormskirk tip / best flytipping sites and you'll have the pick I'm sure

Pretty much sums it up don't it, 'sorry going to have to cancel the CCTV upgrade, now me and the wife have got mercs on the driveway we just can't afford it'.

Oh nothing, I don't bother with these sorts, I can see the way it would go. The fact he even wants £300 says it all. I know it's old tat but you would AT LEAST separate it into brands, no-one is going to want all those at once.

2 weeks later and 10 trips to the tip costing the idiot money...

It's Saturday, it's 9pm, it's time for... Timmy Westwood's Alarm Roundup! Now, is this actually a whole panel in a double gang plate, a bit like the A1 2-zoner that fitted entirely within a thick 2 gang faceplate, or just a very old skool keypad requiring 2 x 8 cores to connect? I think we should be told. Wonder what Kim is up to these days? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hamilton-Litestat-Burglar-Alarm-control-panel-BA1-Chrome-Edwardian-NOS/202888417466?hash=item2f3d1790ba:g:~oUAAOSwzYteLaAf Quite a long time, I remember buying one of these from this exact same seller 10 years ago.

http://www.touchpoint-online.com/content/control4-integration-now-live From what Mr H said it sounds like the alarm will be the cheapest part of the system.

False business contact details too Interesting items well done, what was the purpose of the Gent 'keyswitch interface', was it so that only when 3 fire marshalls agreed could the unit be reset remotely etc... that kind of thing?

Buy system from ebay, fix and then play with it until you break it again!

I know, they just throw themselves on you - and you've been told it's rude to push people away!

Which is why it only lasts the week?

Yes?

and rapper (& welcome OP)

The Texecom stuff is good, no mistake, if I was starting from scratch, I'd use it. The other alternative panel is an Eaton (Scantronic) ion 40H, you'll get 10 wired zones, wireless on board, free self monitoring via web app and some familiarity with the 9751. As ever, the kicker is that the wireless is mostly only 1-way, but it depends what you want to do with it, if you just want to add a few wireless fobs, these are 2 way anyway, as are smoke detectors you can add on, for the odd extra door contact or window vibe, e.g. additional perimeter stuff the 1 way thing annoys me greatly but doesn't put me off using it.

SOunds like a radio station Welcome!

I had to google Voltek but immediately recognised the kit esp. the beige twin PIRs. Blimey I remember them slinging this stuff in when I was at school (thats 25 years ago!).

LOL!

As SWB it seems loony to me to replace any wired detector with wireless just for the sake of it, in a room you want to keep detection!

Used to fit these back in the day. As SWB and IIRC Sapphire is a one channel system, with 4 zone indicators. So you may well have a detector on Zone 1 and Zone 2, but with only one relay for the lights(s).... Hence as above detectors have an output for the 'beep' and an output for the 'lighting' which will only be at 'night'.

Yep it's sadly rare to remove anything that I don't feel belongs in the bin with a few kicks for good measure... Even inside stuff is usually yellowed or covered in paint Or sometimes not even that old in the first place and so not that collectible. In fact I think it's fair to say I see the most interesting older alarm stuff when I'm on the ambo!

LOL yeah maybe!

Most of the houses aren't that old, more like Pic 3 above, but yeah one I did just before Xmas I was lucky it was proper coastal and oh so quickly painting (e.g. Scaffolding) time again, or I would have probably just had to leave it.

Oddly the only time I ever used them was when they were pumping out Eaton i-On RKPs for silly low prices, and not after they introduced the new shape ones, this was a few years back when the oblong ones were the only game in town. I thought it was a price error (it probably was a price error) but ordered 20, and got 20, exactly as described, all sealed and new. So may just be incompetent staff!

What gets me is how some of them managed to get it up there in the first place! Especially as the rest of the job always seems chucked in the easiest way, e.g. PIRS back to back, facing windows etc etc
