Thanks for the replies, a basic design I had for a bell box was this: 

 

I would like to think that it has been designed well with encapsulated or even potted electronics, designed for any weather or condition. I could look at making a bell box or shed alarm first? Before trying a full main control panel? 

At da allot of the soldering got subbed out in the end , was prepared there and then as we say the "aunties " took them home lol , although they could solder better than the men ,

 

You would do the same sub it all out and have lots of agreements in place 

 

 

Oh these alarm gorillas here are really all house bashers under cover

So your alarms were made in house? rather than using separate companies to make them?

I'd also assume if you had the ability to produce intruder alarm controls you would make a lot more doing something different  ?

 

 

 

What else could be produced, I can see the main things needed for a panel could be injection moulding facility and a PCB manufacturing machine?

If I was insane enough to get involved in the manufacture of alarm stuff-

 

Happytronic would import cheap & cheerful tat from the far east, say sounders or lead acid batteries

 

if this proved to be successful the most simple product to start in house manufacture would be an tampered extension speaker,

 

I suspect creating a commercially successfully alarm panel manufacturer from nothing is very hard ...

Thanks, making things in China would be cheaper, but making stuff here is good too, I am NO Brexiteer, but this it employs people here so that is good, but buying things from there cheaply is good. Yes, it might be hard, although I do want to start a company, could start an eBay business I guess, selling those dummy LED modules.

Consumer electronics ?

 

or something like a room thermostat is 1/2 the price of 9948 but the development & build cost must be way cheaper

 

An expensive thermostat is about the same cost of commercial controls & keypad but the development cost must be way cheaper & in your warehouse you can fit 20-30 in same space as metal endstation

Produce a pp3 power standalone shock sensor like we used to buy in the early 90's

 

Produce commercial controls which network together rather than panels & expanders ?

 

Produce an 8 zone wire panel with  onboard keys, which is nice & slim cuase it got a NiMH battery

 

There loads of stuff which could be made, the hard part would be making money

Oddly they can do it with fire I thought and all expensive , no one would buy the panels even though cheap to make would be sold to expensive lol

I agree and even harder getting the money to do it in the first place, only thing I can think is a bank loan? However, if it was successful, it would end very well, for person starting the company and the products being made would be better.
