We are unable to discuss defaulting on the public side of the forum, sorry.

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

And more of a known and attractive target

You clicked 'helpful' I hope?

Yeah

Lol

Seen the new Honeywell (branded at least) DIY tastic http://www.screwfix.com/p/honeywell-home-garden-wireless-burglar-alarm-kit/5314j

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.

It may very well be sensitive information, but we don't have any such duty of care at this time, and if we did, it is or was already front page news on regular mainstream, non security specific sites. Again this is my own personal opinion and other members may disagree too.

We don't allow engineer defaulting info as a matter of principle, anyone with half a brain could find them elsewhere in seconds more's the pity, but there you go. So I don't think we need to be over protective on this subject, that's my personal opinion anyway.

Yes as part of Caradon plc, they bought Chloride except the battery / vehicles bit afaik. Then Honeywell bought all the non building materials off Caradon, i think...

I saw an ADE ultimate RKP for the first time last year It was so big I assume it had just been left on the wall rather than make a mess removing, next to the working Gal keypad...

No, just loop in. But by using proper contacts like Knight https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/knight-g2-surface-contact-with-tact-tamper-and-selectable-res-p-3868.html Its all done for you anyway.

No version of Scantronic allows multiple FSL on one zone, at least, not without modified wiring as per the manufacturers instructions i.e Elmdene, Knight etc... Galaxy I believe does allow multiple 1k/1k contacts on one zone with no modification.

The guy wondered why he was getting 'tingling' in his hands when he touched the drainer when the dishwasher was on!

BUT it must still be compliant. So if the existing installation is unsafe, you can't add to it. A classic example is a house with rubber cabling still (very unlikely to see these days) but there were a few still around when Part P first came in and although we probably would have offered a rewire or walked anyway, with Part P you had to say 'no' even if it was just a spur etc... Another good example would be the one I found the other day with everything quite tidy but NO main earth!

There is no need to 'retrospectively' work to the 17th if, say, you are in a house done to the 15th, 16th etc... A case in point is fusewire type consumer units. The Electrical Safety Council (formerly part of NICEIC) are at pains to point out in a dedicated leaflet that this does NOT mean an installation fails a PITS / EICR just for having one.

As far as I understand from a 'justifiable' point of view, the HSE regard live working as acceptable only in the absence of any realistic alternative. So if you are live working on a fuseboard that is fitted with multiple means of safe isolation, but you don't want to use them 'to avoid pissing off the client' and work live, this would not sit well. For suppliers who have no alternative but to cut into live cables, then of course there isn't a practical alternative.

Even more experienced folk here will come back with tales of bricked panels, not perhaps so much on site but messing around on the bench. Texecom provide the updates foc and for the trade the cost of the flasher is negligable per panel.

Depends - if you've had a few power cuts (or more likely, power turned off all day for building work etc...) then the battery will last nowhere near as long if completely discharged.

Unfortunately, paypal, ebay, do indeed refund the minute evidence of sending any type of tracked package is given. I have even had someone 'return' something using the entered royal mail code 'Fukoffebay'. They of course got a full instant refund, although I did eventually get it reversed after a LOT of shouting...

If you are going to commit fraud, always a good tip not to plan it out loud on a public forum, don't we think?
