Oh Alarmguard, where have you gone.......

Thanks, anyone else feels a 10+ yrs old system warrants an upgrade.

Depends, does it work. Still have police response?

Why fix something that works?

personally id say this

imo 10 tys is about the expected life of a system. The following commenst would also assume it was a system installed and serviced by us as an example.

however if its contract and has been serviced regually then its the maints companys problem if any part fails I wouldnt just upgrade something that was passing service checks with ease and working 100%.

But if it was a high rsk site then maybe i would.

But no to generalise i couldnt say that a 10 yr system automatically needed an upgrade.

Having said all that it could all be had it (ie poor kit) and was past it when it was 3 year old.

Yes

Still have police response?

No - not a PD6662 and never have been monitored before

I am thinking, new facilities (like Proximity readers, LCD screens telling you in English what's happening, better security level, adding a smoke detector to alarm system, police monitoring option, and finally to avoid waiting till we really have to replace the system) I am just thinking loud here

Well, the system has never been maintained to be honest, and naturally the battery is dead. But, in all fairness the system never caused us any problems (except ofcourse when we get a power cut, cause of the battery issue).

hi if you want a good system then castle euro one easy for end user and sms to mobi (with digi arm card) and in as much info as you bare to recive eg zone area, set, unset, power fail, tampers, user setting/unseting ect ect this will also fastcom to arc,

I have older unit in my house the euro meridian 44 and was second hand

euro one retale at around

if you want a cerifictae then you have no choice but to replace.

If you had one before then its still valid, and can be serviced on that cert.

Its difficult as we have no real idea what you have, who installe dit, was it approved etc
