[gsm dialer recommendations]

The customer is a old dear not a lot of spare cash.

Old system and doesn't want it upgrading otherwise id stick a lightsys with module in.

TBH I'm not looking to make a real profit on this one,

 

[gsm dialer recommendations]

Can anyone recommend  a gsm dialler to fit to a customers alarm. They are ditching the phone line and just want something to dial out using sim card.

Have used the risco one before but is a bit pricey. Just need something basic and reliable that can call and maybe text.

[Company Insurance - Making a Claim]

Never go with the RAC for van insurance. Had someone crash into the back of me F.....G the van up. Spent 6HOURS on the phone through the day trying to process the accident, being passed from different company / department only to be told by the people who sort out the repair and replacement vehicle that they wont do anything until they have fully investigated the claim. Wasn't even my fault!

The guy who crashed in to me was with LV, so took up their offer of sorting it all out. 30 min later all sorted.

[Cat5E Sharing Conduit With Fibre Phone Line]

Yes as you can only go 100m with the cat5e with IP cam! but for running next to fibre no problem.

Thanks for the reply,  I should have said ft rather than meters

[Cat5E Sharing Conduit With Fibre Phone Line]

Does anyone know if running cat5e underground with a fibre optic phone cable would cause any issues with picture quality on a IP camera system.  The total run is about 200m with about 130m of it next to the fibre cable underground.

[Taking Fused Spur From Kitchen Socekt In To A Hall.]

I have a site that would like a panel in the hallway, there are no sockets in the hall that I can get to for the spur, however on the other side of the wall there is a socket in the kitchen.

Would taking the power from the kitchen be classed as part P, as I am not adding any power in the kitchen, just spurring off to a non special location. 

[Baluns Keep Failing]

Hi all, I have a site that has 8 analogue cameras. They are connected by cat 5e using all in one video and power baluns,

Ive  had 3  problems with cameras just dropping out. Each time it has been a case of replacing the balun.

 

The only reason I can think of is that 2 months ago one of the external waterproof boxes leaked and buggered the balun up. i replaced it and shortly after the psu died, possibly due to the balun outside shorting power out out.

 

All the ones that have failed since are internal, and are secure in enclosures.

 

Anyone had a problem like this before? Any ideas?

[Terms And Conditions]

I've started writing some, every time you think ive done it all I think of something else.

Its mainly for the "my sensors fell off when I was dusting" brigade who happen to be decorating at the time and want them re fitting for free. 

[Terms And Conditions]

Bet that wasn't cheap!

[Terms And Conditions]

Is there a standard T and C form for customers covering intruder, cctv etc that I can download anywhere, or does everyone create their own?

Thanks for that, its along the lines of what i was thinking. Call me thick but what's a PO?

[Self Employed Sub Contactors Rates.]

Im new to the subby game, and all the firms I have worked for have never used them so I am just looking for a rough figure.  I don't want to scare people off by being too expensive, however im not going to work for peanut's. .

[Self Employed Sub Contactors Rates.]

for the reply PSE. 

[Self Employed Sub Contactors Rates.]

I know this has been asked before but no one really gave a clear answer and it was a couple  of years ago.

 

What is the average daily sub contracting rates for doing cctv / intruder and access. I have own tools, unmarked vehicle, full insurance, own teeth etc etc etc.

 

 

 

[What Panels Are You Using?]

I use Gardtec cpx, 600, 601 lightsys 2.

[Risco Lightsys]

Fitted a few of the lightsys 2 they seem ok, much easier to programme if you do it via laptop.

 

 

You will have to fit a gsm unit if you want to send texts.  If you want it to send voice messages you will need to fit a voice module.

[Minor Works Certs]

Ive found a meter, metrel ML3000 that seems to fit the bill. Just over £400, bargain, might buy 2!

 

[Minor Works Certs]

Hi all, im looking to buy some test kit for doing minor works for fused spurs etc. Just wondering what other engineers are using as they are bloody expensive and most do stuff that only a spark would need.

[Risco Agility 3]

The touch screen is only really to be used by the customer for everyday arming / disarming. It doesn't have the speed to keep up with programming up systems by the engineer.
