No its way different. Old ID was designed for very short cable on relatively big cables. It was for cars. It was then given to us in bigger lengths. Hkc use a completely different system but it's limited to 10 addresses on a single core. Mixing it on cores is not supported but I've done it on old ID systems I have

ADT sues Amazon's Ring over use of blue octagon logo
agreed but the market demands this doorbell height nickable tech. Ive already been asked to use the alarm to protect it after its nicked.

Just have decent cctv that doesnt wait till the perp presses a button (that has to be in easy reach) or just have a door bell. Few nicked the old friedland bell push

Disabling my alarm -help.
So to summarise all adt systems need a kill code, this code will only be used at end of support? Burglars can't wait for that, look for a tired, non maintained bell, break-in then enter this kill code. What a superb idea all we need is some kind of sign on the outside Oh wait does this mean anyone with an adt bell outside could use a code to......

Agreed, you own the equipment. You can do with it as you wish. Using your car theory you have paid all the payments and now own it. If you want anyone to work on your car its not going to be for free.

"Alarm Gross" HKC Panel
sounds like high res then. Whats the loop resistance of the circuit. Im assuming its double pole. You shouldnt have 16 of anything on 1 circuit tho
-
"Alarm Gross" HKC Panel
its a gross attack. your panel will report that its different to a pulse attack. Basically means 1 big impact rather than a few smaller ones but depends how you have it wired if you have a contact in series with the shock sensor or did you bang the window to open it?

Visonic Powermax Plus CPU low battery
It's a switched mode psu I'd check it still has output with load. Unplugged even if knackered it will give voltage, check it on load

Texecom Ricochet wont arm
Be cautious though as you said they only do ooh to contracts only. I'd agree with that. But if you have no contract you also have insurance issues

Texecom Odyssey 1 Bell Box

New home with an ADT alarm
Agreed on the above a well maintained system should not activate the external bell however it should inform 'a level 2 user' that it has an issue. As pj says all those alarms that activate externally show that they are not looked after, maintained or bothered about. So never armed if functioning at all. Never let your external sounder activate without decent cause or some might think its just a power failure

replacing an old scantronics 9800 with what?
imo you want to avoid network for the core system. It should function on its own routers need power etc so i wouldnt worry about the network side, just use it for notification etc
