mountianrider Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Is this allowed? I had a installer tell me it's OK when I always install a unswitched spur Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/39312-alarms-on-plugs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Grading dependent, yes it's allowed. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

mountianrider Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Ok learn something new everyday, im surprised but as rule of thumb i'd install spur because it's professional? So having a panel off a switched spur is also OK?

al-yeti Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Cheaper to replace alarm fob than car fob though Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/39312-alarms-on-plugs/#findComment-433956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Yes but wasn't my point.

norman Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 But some will gladly spend £300 on the car and moan about spending on the house. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

secureiam Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) I dont like fobs because I feel they are less secure, but don't really think about the car keys. remote arming and disarming fobs are certainly as bad, as they will report back the status of the alarm and allow you to disarm it. But you still have to know the House to use it on even if you find the keys and the fob etc. Find keys in a carpark just point and unlock door and wait for the car to flash to say here I am? So the fob for the house is probably more secure than a fob for the car? I like the risco agility 3 remote fob as you can have it coded, okay so its only 4 digits, but requires two actions if programmed ie disarm and the 4 digit code, but that wont work on a monitored system as once you enable the standard the feature is disabled.

james.wilson Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Brake pad change on mine is nearly 400 quid, as it is I'm gonna get it done, but found some pads for a tenner need to find a carpenter to fit em for 30. Who needs to be secure in the knowledge they will work when I really need them...
