Hopefully some of you fine lot will be able to assist me here.

We are a CCTV company, one of our main clients (a shop-fitters) have asked us to put together a quote for an alarm system in a medium sized high street retail outlet.

It will basically consist of:

Control Panel in Alluminium Casing with Remote LCD Operator Panel

4 x Dual Tec Passives

6 x Door Contacts

1 x Sound Bomb

2 x Belle Boxes

There will be no remote monitoring / connection at this stage.

I'd like to put a decent Grade II in here and wonder, specifically, what manufacturers and systems you recommend.

Thanks in advance.

Control Panel in Alluminium Casing with Remote LCD Operator Panel

alloy WTF?

Controls? galaxy would be my choice

Agreed

Why not let us sort it for you. I would make sure there is a few quid in it for you.

We cover lancashire and we would at least provide a SSAIB Cert.

Whistles offer makes sense to me ( its how we do our CCTV installs)

As already said id go galaxy but they will all be steel panels. i dont know of an alloy panel

sorry, ignore the alloy comment .. I meant steel.

Whistle, can't hurt to give us a quote but it would have to be on a subbed basis.

hows about you tell your main client to do the job properly in the first place (nothing personal against you Mr Hooner)

its more comman than you think for an alarm firm to handle the whole job from start to finish on your behalf - its only 6 months down the line when the service is due that the customer meets them

at some point the site will need risk assesing, certifying and insuring

Would recomend

Galaxy G3 - 48

Risco Iwise DT G3

Elmdean G3 door contacts

I would fit the above but cert it at grade 2 as there is very little price diffrence between G2 and G3 kit and you will find the Galaxy 2 only has 500ma of Aux power for your detectors.

I would not be intrested in subby work as i would not be able to issue a cert of i did it as a subby.

That answer could start a decent G3 G2 debate, but how can you cert to G2 without seeing the place and doing a risk assesment?

We would still do a risk assesmant but as we only use grade 3 on all commercial it would not matter what the outcome of the RA was as we could grade it 2 or 3.
