Yes hikvision   but they still manufacture their alarms here in the UK

All of it? 

Have a look on a box and see where it's made

Anyway that's not the discussion I'll keep this one on topic

Its all bollocks, Tat like Yale or ADE sell very well & do it outside of any EN std ?

 

the 3rd biggest economy in Europe is Britain

 

Britain is a crime ridden crap hole & probably the largest world market for domestic alarms ?

 

What European brands exist in the UK,  Bosch / Siemens ?

 

Neither is major play within the UK or Europe & I assume are more interested in the US market ? 

 

Meh...

Interesting document but pretty much what I expected, do testing in UK as before but get product stamped at next

nearest English speaking EU fweind.

 

Now, off topic....

 

Nah Logan people are just buying Nest / ring / ArgosChinkTat plug-n-pray 'home monitoring' 'solutions' now.

Buy it, plug it in on lounge table

Forget you are paying £2.99 a month for 10 years

Send heartwarming footage of cat / dog / toddler captured by tat 'burgling' that gets 10k retweets c/w brand name of tat

 

I see zero future for someone trying to start a traditional alarm business now unless they are b2b at a corporate level, which

of course you'll not get easily as a OMB new starter now (or then without some serious contacts). And even then Norms tales

of Gunnebo are slightly surprising to me.

 

etc...

 

I don't even see a future for older Yale type products* for much longer. Either that or they will be self-promoted in the field as 'semi-pro alarm kit' ;)

*And nor do Yale - looks like they have just launched a le-sucre like model called 'Sync'.... I wonder if they will simply ditch the 'traditional' range.

 

TBF Can't really blame them, how can you argue a £700 CCTV installation complete with wires and a big black

box vs. 2 x £159 wireless Nest cams back to back with nearest 13A socket... I've even seen some new houses with upper floor

USB 13A sockets in slightly odd places I am certain to to allow easy and fairly neat wifi cam installs.

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

Don't get me wrong I did my first few installs for the price of a pint + equipment, but I literally do mean the first few. And even then usually as an add on to my own electrical work at full

price. (Shortly after I mostly worked for the same contractor anyway for a few years.)

You'd be better off begging in a shop door way

 

True some of the guys we come across on the ambo have got bundles of notes hidden away.

TBF as a consequence to ambulance work over the years I've abandoned any desire to actually get a licence, which I once quite wanted to.
