You may not like the costs but it not a scam. I dont like it but you need to be careful saying its a scam when imo it isnt.
What if someone was to say what you do is scam etc.
It literally does fall as a scam
Convincing customers that it does something even though it doesn't
Verisure installers have advised themselves as NSI gold approved
they had a **** ton of adverts taken down for false information even including thier slogan "the most advanced alarm system on the market"
The dishonest payments even after the client has cancelled

They are not a scam, but it very well marketed stuff. But again as has been said many times just because something is popular doesnt make it any good.
Also bear in mind you understand these systems most people dont care and assume it meets the relevant standards
It is a scam
from all the experiences I delt with them you first pay £200 or £500 to purchase the equipment then the ever increasing monitoring fee they don't have police monitoring no matter how much they want you to think they do instead the "guard response" is where the installer drives to your house. Sits in thier car for 5 minutes then drive off
If you cancel though they will take the equipment you paid for with no refund and charge you £90 to remove it and oh yea the £50 monitoring fee doesn't get cancelled until you block the direct debit payments

people can buy ***** if they want ?
I am a horrible person however I'm not horrible enough to have them fall for the scams of verisure and possibly have thier insurance voided without them even knowing

Hi All
thanks for your input
if i was looking to go down the rout of upgrading my panel would you upgrade my current system with a
1) Risco Lightsys+ panel (without monitoring).
2) Replace the how system with Verisure (monitored system) (altho verisure do not currently have smoke detectors) they say these are very close to being released as my current system does.
we are a small business in a small shop on a residential parade.
Verisure is a scam company

Thanks James .
soot meaning is there a burnt mark, getting me worried now.
What is wrong with the wiring , so I can rectify.
It's a common problem with all texecom veritas panels with the voltage regulator it doesn't even have to be overloaded for it to get very hot I never seen one that has not had this problem its just the design flaw all of these have
Just make sure to replace the battery and check the charger

there are suitable roles for everyone regardless of your circumstance
by not being employed your limit yourself to be dependant on benefits / family to support you & limit your social circle ?
I often help out a decent family run company but they are not looking for new employees

21 hours ago, frenzy382 said:or...am i looking at the completely wrong set of instructions.....that's a possibility i suppose. Like James above was saying....lots of iterations. I'll keep digging to see if i can find alternate (but similar) instructions.
I would recommend getting a veritas or 9448 as it's alot less confusing

For your ability Logan I would employ you like a shot, but from reading your posts I dont think you would last very long working for me. You are definately are a very clever bright young man, with a talent for electronics, you have a good understanding which many people of your age and for that matter any age sadly lack. But I think you may well be pretty much unemployable (which is not a criticism, many on here that run their own business including myself are unemployable) just because its your way or the highway attitude, as you get older and get a bit more life experience that will change. You will do well though, to achieve what you have so far at your age is a big thing and I admire you for that.
I wouldn't be employable as I have autism and several other disabilities which would make me not wanted or capable of employment
However I'm doing quite well for business since I only change for parts and take a donation for labour helping people get alarm systems for those who wouldn't be able to afford it from a normal company I also been put off from working for a company (not saying all are but the 2 most local ones to me) as I seen so many awful installations and some that are downright deathtraps from these companies

Lets hope its not too late for that, if the battery has been pulling the charging circuit down enough to blow a fuse it may be your panel is unable to charge a new battery
Well I mean if you have enough patience you can replace the charge resistor

Thanks for your help I already ordered some new fuses so will give that a go
Don't forget a new battery aswell

Best tell the insurance companies then
Also there are reports of wifi jammers being used mainly to disable cctv notifications.
IMO most alarms without some form of signalling are a bit useless. Neighbours note the time it rings to complain about the noise. If any burglar knew no one was coming they are going to carry on
Most of my panels are not on wifi they are hard wired
Almost all of (in my case) domestic situations do not care about the whole £2 they get off a year they want it just as a deterrent they adamantly do not want monitoring or any other pay monthly system and the app is just frosting on top
Having the ability to just check up on the house even if it's not 100% reliable is better than a bells only system which they would have had instead
-
And in fairness any sort of external notification is a blessing as most systems I work on are just bells only when they really should have monitoring or they had monitoring but cancelled it
And for that 1% that it can fail doesn't make the other 99% not worth it
And be honest what is the likelyhood for someone to attack a wifi network and then break into a house at the same time or when the wifi is out to just to break into a house

not the same as polling and only any use when unset though
local failure reporting when armed would be a bit pointless
For commercial yes but for a small domestic how often would that happen
and how many customers are willing to pay £75 a year for commercial monitoring
You do get a panel offline message if the panel is disconnected from the Internet but that can take up to a hour to receive

Mobile signals can be jammed and IP could still have downtime or an attack.
Both the path or the manufacturer are irrelevant, the only way you know if a signal will be received is if it polls (uses/tests) the path regularly.
Orisec can detect line failure as I often get calls where a customer switches off the router and the alarm gets a fault
-
I would recommend a system with GSM comms however if you don't want to get a sim card or if you don't want to do that you can use IP comms often incorporating app
Some good systems for this are pyronix, orisec, and HKC

thanks, i will try that.
Will that also resolve the exit time issue that i have? Currently Prog 3 is in TImed exit, for 30 seconds...I want to change that to 10, but it won't even acknowledge i'm trying to get to that setting in the first place, let alone change it.
thnx
Go to engineer
You have to first choose what part set program you want 1,2 or 3
Next you need to set it to either timed or silent set
Once you do this you will now have access to the other menus

Go on then, spill the beans!
On a system takeover of a galaxy changed bell from ADT to one of my bells went in to test and tested bell and in the false ceiling above the keypad there was a master blaster I think you can guess what happened next
In my defence there was no labeling and there was no way to know without looking in the false ceiling

I have. I’ve got it working, it was a schoolboy error on my part. For some reason I got it into my bed that EE was the keypad so I wired it into there. Of course I should have wired it into data and clk. I’m embarrassed to even write that!
EE is the entry exit zone and ET on the keypad is exit terminator so it can be quite confusing
If you thought that was embarrassing you should have seen my alarm service last week

HiI’ve finally been able to wire this up today (new extension was delayed). But I can’t get it to work. They keypad buttons are illuminated and they beep when pressed, however none of the LEDs on the left are illuminated. Also, entering my user code does nothing, apart from the key beeps.
Can anyone suggest what I have missed? I didn’t understand the reboot comment above so I have not done anything besides the wiring.
Original keypad was address zero so I have set this to address one.
Many thanks.
Jim
Have you powercycled the panel

There are multiple older versions of apps for Texe all with different T&Cs.
What are we calling "tons", there is much more to business than knowing how the kit works.
When your taking over this user installed tat, your taking on it's liabilities as well.
Well I'm mainly reinstalling it or reprogramming it

So you agree to the terms and conditions that your an installer and that they have the right to revoke and delete any accounts that are found not to be an installation company?
Sounds sensible...
I have taken over tons of DIY sites where customers do this they don't care

Basically the same as saying I installed a battery smoke detector so I'm now firecert and BAFE certified
Close but if you say no they kill you
