Just another quick question i am using a premier elite 48, do you guys tend to stick to the same manufacturer for detectors ?

Guy got done many years ago for wiring the grilles inside his windows to the mains, killed the guy that broke in.

Just another quick question i am using a premier elite 48, do you guys tend to stick to the same manufacturer for detectors ?

only if they are the best for your risk.

paul can we go back to the steam age alarm?

 

Well the first one was patented in 1853.

 

 

Yeah Adrian, a few over the years have  been done for "over voltage" and the use of broken glass in cement. IIRC one had his femoral artery done and bled out in minutes,

as antinode says,its not a dual tec as we know rather a dual frequency unit,still will be activated with shutters being kicked tho,personally wouldnt fit them with a shuttered window.

Sounds like the one writing the papers is the one that needs the training

Agreed

Shocking....

Lol

I remember in the days of ram-raiding, early 90s, on the local TV news there was an interview with an elderly shop owner who was more than happy to be pictured turning on the mains to bare steel wire strung across his shop before he locked up every night. The reporter reminded him what he was doing was illegal ('and we'd like to point out that the BBC do not approve or condone this mans actions') but it was never followed up.

 

Oh and more OT, in reply to Joe I do remember a combined breakglass and PIR unit years ago but that just looks like (as the kids would say) 'an epic fail' on the behalf of the examiner.
