Did sub have a disagreement with installer and decided to try and do rest themselves? And your related? Zone 9 was set as door contact. Gap within tolerance, just but the door had play on it so removed to align a bit better. No Tamper Zone 1 PIR was on the wall above door pointing out of the window onto the pavement through vertical blinds, Removed to relocate. No Tamper I don't know if it was a sub who installed it. No log book on site and company did not say. Customer not aware of a sub just main contractor as a point of contact. Sure there wasn't a dispute between a sub and company because I was sent the EMCS Netport printout which shows Zone 1 PIR as an issue from install and told it was probably a user error. I am not related to these companies in any way. just got a phone call from installer and asked to do the call out because the customer wanted to be able to alarm the system for the weekend.

Think it probably was subbed out to a local company and at first, the installer from Leeds just assumed from the Netport signals it was an entry/exit issue that the user was not understanding. Because the customer was happy not to use alarm until the weekend and they had tried to get install engineer back to site but hadn't been able to, probably because they were busy on something else. As I say I am relatively new to this game and so have no particular allegiance to any other companies so am finding the big companies have started to ring me when they need something done in a hurry. I don't do sub-contract work but don't mind helping out someone in the hope that one day I might need some help.

scrimshanker Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I had that happen quite a few times, to reset a fire panel or swop out a DVR. But the phone call has never been direct from the sec company, always from a recruiter first.

Company rang me directly, presume from Google as so far away to ask if could help out then sent down email with details on of site etc and Netport log, enginners code. and contracted rate. I thought this was the norm as only started this topic because some of the gear was Orisec which I hadn't seen before.

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I thought you'd either have to be approved by NSI or suitable screened to be a sub contractor rather than found by google ?

scrimshanker Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 You'd be surprised! Only one national I've worked for has done a proper vetting. That was Stanley banking division, working on a contract which specifically stated no contractors !
