datadiffusion Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Oh yeah I'd forgotten that. It's ?£300 pricetag does tend to grind a little when you can get the TELL type units reasonably. I know they don't have customer-facing displays and all that but you can in theory GPRS into some of them and with all models send specially formatted, password protected texts to make changes inc. numbers.

Why is everyone scared to fit quality and charge for it. You say overpriced, I say a quality product that does it's job well and had no issues. Compare that against hassle you will get from the cheaper end of the market and it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norman Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 You'd be better installing something that's not tat or likely to cause you revisits and generates recurring revenue. Customers have no idea what they want. 3 Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy™ Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 admittedly i dont install / maintain that many compared to some of you, but of all those i have installed ive never had any problems or been called back to any faults with them. maybe im just lucky, which is rare for me. as much as id rather install a monitored alarm for someone, not everyone wants one and sometimes its a basic dialler that gets fitted. or bells only customers may not always have an idea what they want but id rather give them choices rather than telling what they are having 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing worse than fitting ***** that you keep getting called back for. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
