Defensure

Hmm Gardtec. Spot on, thanks. Turns out its a Gardtec 370. I took over a newer Gardtec a few years back and that was a piece of junk. Slowly every function on the board started to fail.

Hi all I've been to look at a faulty alarm system today and I've no clue to the manufacturer and mode of the alarm system. I think it's going to be irrelevant as getting a replacement keypad for something so old is going to be a mission, but least I can have a look once I know what the system is. cheers Luke

Much obliged

Afternoon all Going to see a customers new premises and they have sent me a photo of their alarm panel prior to my visit. Any ideas what model it is? Many thanks luke

Hi all I'm currently looking at a CCTV design for a cemetery. Unfortunately it'e one of the edge of town cemeteries as a result of the churchyard full to the brim, and therefore theres no electricity. The customer would like a wireless battery system, but for what they want it for I don't think its going to work. They do have a shed which the NVR is likely to be located, and its got a decent sized roof for a solar panel, so I'm looking at a Solar solution to provide a 12V supply with a battery capacity for 18-24hrs backup. I'm aiming to use a low power NVR with built in POE, or a separate switch depending on power usage (seems like every Watt is going to count), and an LED monitor for playback. Currently got a couple of companies I want to contact for prices and designs, but thought I would see if anyone here has done anything similar, and if so who they used, and any feedback of the system. Many thanks Luke

Useful, thanks I intend to put an offer code on the leaflet so i can attempt to lure hesitant homeowners with a small discount. This first batch will likely be around 1000 homes, and I think I'd take 2 leads first time of asking. 10 would be amazing though, I'll aim for the magical 1% lead generation.

I'm currently knocking up a new leaflet to distribute around my area. Going to make full use of the Mrs being on maternity leave and give her something to do whilst she takes the boy out for a stroll in the pram! We live on a ten year old estate and in a recent power outage the number of alarms going into meltdown as their batteries hadn't been replaced in ten years was ridiculous. The number of bells still strobing after a month from no resets was even even more surprising. Since moving there I've had no end of neighbours asking for resets, services and quotes for new systems, so I'm sure I'll get a bit of business out of 30 quids worth of leaflets. Just wondered how any of you guys have found leafleting as a form of attracting new business? Luke
