charlie6 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 It's a bit of 'swings and roundabouts' really. There are occasions when there is no other option but to crash, and others where it is probably easier to find out roughly what the system is 'all about'.

abbz Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 We rarely crash systems on takeovers unless really necessary. Codes and tags being main issue and time allowed. We do fully test system and document spared out zones and advise customer of findings. Usually if they're unaware of zone programmed out were put it on test for a week and see what happens. Any faults found are usually chargeable to put right.

GalaxyGuy Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Once a code is programmed into a system, you have no control over who can read it (used panels on ebay etc). Hopefully you do not use common codes across all your accounts!!! If every account eng code is specific to the account, it would then be easier to trace the person leaking sensitive company information.

charlie6 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Galaxy Guy "... it would then be easier to trace the person leaking sensitive company information..." Do you mean like British Gas and ADT area codes ? if so, someone on their teams are leaking sensitive information, since I've got most of their engineer codes (I think !!)

GalaxyGuy Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 That's the trouble with area codes, too many people have them. Single site codes should only need to be known by a limited number of people. I don't know any panels that hold this information with any sort of encryption. Normally just plain ASCII codes in memory. It's funny when you look at a panel, it will normally have the name of the alarm company programmed in the banner too.

james.wilson Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 it will, but old school is common engineer/service codes. Its an issue now and decent firms have sorted it or in process Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

goncall Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 a simple action to site of an engineer on site pin or programming on signal would sort that out,most engineer codes are known by other alarm co's it isnt a problem unless its given to customers Quote Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/38823-engineers-codes/page/3/#findComment-425155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
