  1. I pretty much have that setup Wired movement sensors in every room (including upstairs), these are used as room presense sensors for the home automation. All external doors have wired door contacts All windows have wireless shock sensors External sensors and doors trigger security lights and in alarm Im using HKC detection and controls. Linked to home assistant via output I/F and esp32 I do not allow my HA to disarm my alarm etc. CCTV is cabled and uses frigate (currently) for person / object detection. Use cat 5 to every camera location but take advice on locations as most diyer fit them too high. Use alarm cable to every alarm component. Your going to need an expandable panel and at least 1 additional psu.
  2. if that fuse is only feeding the keypad then yes. But id suspect its also feeding other things. It will be one of those devices. Id go with device rather than cable but as mr h says it could be a staple, nail etc penetrating the cable somewhere
  3. You need to disconnect something or run it on its own fuse to diagnose which bit of kit is blowing the fuse
  4. i dont know what it is but just saying it isnt, without saying what it is isnt the best
  5. what is it then?
  6. not anymore its something else. No 9800 keeps sounding with no power. But its 25 ish yr old so its more likely to be the old alarm vs the past it 10 yr old smoke/co2 etc detector
  7. And are the cameras happy dual streaming. Is the stream exactly the same to both nvrs
  8. as its a 2 yr old + plus topic id create a new one based on your circumstances
  9. I sort of agree, any tone does the job if it doesn't it doesn't matter how loud etc however I have internal and 2 external (front and side)
  10. do they, didnt know that. Most bells as SAB meaning they do draw from the panel. Id be checking the current in alarm to see if the panel can handle it
  11. agreed. It will work like driving with no windscreen but its not best. If you need more circuits use a bigger panel
  12. You need to open and close your final door by the looks
  13. SAB mode assuming the panel can handle it/ I started replying but i dont use adb etc, photo of each end please?
  14. you will need to enter the security code
  15. OK but fuses don't blow for no reason. Is it overloaded etc. Which fuse is blowing But yes you can reuse your cabling but if it has issues those will continue on the new panel
  16. I'd be wanting to find why the fuse is blowing, that's more likely a wiring or peripheral issue rather than the panel
  17. i assume your getting comms on the rio and the led flash rate is right (0.1s on 0.9s off)
  18. I have my birdboxes connected to a dvr. This is then connected via hdmi to the AV amp. You can also access via phone etc then if required. I also have them showing on alexa show devices. But at this time without audio.
  19. The 1k restistors should be in the devices not at the rio
  20. Why are you using it as a slave. That's for shunting etc
  21. The plumbing or m and e must be an issue too?
  22. Have they done the deal assuming the alarm isn't important so can't be much to take it over? Can I ask what other forums you have been on regarding the other bits of this contract?
