  1. Right, fair enough. 2nd guess then; 'British DigiLock Ltd.'
  2. As I say I'm going to guess. So, I'm going to start off by guessing 'Surrey Digital Lock Systems (1978) Ltd.' Quizmaster, am I right or wrong.
  3. I think I can guess who it was - the same people who made the one I took out of an old BaE systems place a few years back I suspect. I posted about it at the time, and was amazed to find the company apparently still trading with a very 1990s looking website. Their products also seemed to be rebadged by Chubb at one time, and the website had the same ones I remember from banks back then including the 5 digit ones that were like 5 typewriter keys in a row, no numbers, in a folded metal case to hide your finger movements.
  4. Love the bonded ADSL! Guessing it works just as well, and the only solution short of FTTD?
  5. I didn't realise that was a garage - seems obvious now, so yes to the ped. door contact and no to any PIRs (DT's or contacts would be much better) Whilst probably insulated, I assume the garage is effectively unheated and not 100% sealed so PIRs would not be a great choice. I would always put at least one PIR upstairs myself otherwise you could one day kick yourself, esp. on a domestic which I assume is 'bells only'.
  6. But suspect that Pete meant the OP buying a 'Zingui Best Quality 100% genuine CIA* approved access control system - £19.87 ship from China' rather than a damaged box Paxton though? *chondou intruder alarms
  7. I wouldn't put contacts on internal doors unless lockable or sprung shut (unlikely on a domestic) Do you have anything upstairs at all?
  8. Axis 1000 unit would be good for online 3rd party integration with membership etc... but no doubt it's all been done before and most gym memberhship software supports a certain manf's gear? For a gym, I wouldn't be honest be too bothered about anti passback unless a completely unattended situation.
  9. It doesn't look fake either, especially as they are not asking for any money nor creating any undue sense of urgency / threats of jail etc...
  10. Ah well, what shame, back to wired alarms then... ;-)
  11. Due to a dvla cockup i once had two parking ticket ntk's go straight to vauxhall motors, luton!
  12. The odd wording makes me think it was a temporary motorway 50mph speed limit, either roadworks or 'managed motorway' variable limit.
  13. Yeah but I mean it says the call came direct from 999 on a mobile after a power loss, so presume the alarm itself went off far too late?
  14. I guess that as it was a manual activation, the fire alarm was of secondary interest - however, there clearly wasn't anything in the CU cupboard...
  15. We used this years and years ago on a Docklands job. It was 8 bog standard but marked & branded LSF Cat5s, each a different colour, in a clear thin outer sheath. Not seen it since tbh. Cost a lot but worth it on a 'central london' job and saved a load of labour.
  16. Nope not a jot of difference, although arguably a lot more internal plastics to burn on a 90s 3 phase and if in a tiny cupboard...
  17. Loose N. That's how an otherwise very good electrician friend of mine cause £1m+ worth of damage to a new-build nightclub that hadn't even opened. He forgot to tighten the N nut on the main busbar and then as the occupier moved in and ramped up the load...
  18. Who is more tragic? Lets vote...
  19. Ah right, is this why there are loads of missing images, such as on this topic...
  20. AFAIK ComWifi should do push, but not sure if you need to make sure the panel has the absolute latest firmware for that.
  21. We are unable to discuss defaulting on the public side of the forum, sorry.
  22. We appear to be going round in circles on this topic. The exploits discussed here are widely available to be viewed on much more popular sites. Customers with a need for high security will already have their own IT experts (in theory) securing the network. If not, frankly that is their poor decision, not their 'physical' security suppliers, as most here will sell with a disclaimer re: open or remote access. Any business here who this sold this exact equipment* (very few, if any I would say) will of course have raised this issue with customers. It is highly unlikely this forum is a used or useful site for criminal activity. *Although I appreciate it's pretty much a universal problem, to varying degrees
  23. Not sure what you mean there. It's for discussing specific issues to do with the industry, faults, problems, business ideas. All very personal and with a very good reason not to be in public.
