sixwheeledbeast Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Bellboxes take a beating; either by weather, temperature or burglars. Discrete components are more resilient to this.

james.wilson Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 As 6 it's the hardest place for a component. But no reason for it not to be microprocessor based, our cars are for instance. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Gabs Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Yes, I understand this, maybe discreet parts are better. As engineers, have your companies ever thought of making your own bell boxes, or even just the covers? My idea would be to design an ultra low-profile cover , get it made, screen printed and then fit it over a CQR MultiBox? In the image shown, it is a normal CQR MultiBox, with my custom injection moulded cover fitted on top Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/42729-start-an-alarm-manufacturer/page/6/#findComment-483901 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the cost of you producing a custom lid will probably have premium over CQR producing a custom lid. However the concept of the multi box is a good idea but I don't see that many, the largest user & only one I can think that has a custom lid is secom ?

Gabs Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Yes, but it does give a look of individuality, having something that no one else does, look at ADT, there is like a black market for them on eBay, people want them. CQR already have the tooling, so they indeed could probably make and screen print lids, I wonder if they do all of the mouldings in house, or the Far East?
