datadiffusion Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) ^^ Whats the private meter for, the dungeon? 15 hours ago, MrHappy said: I miss these... Yeah I remember those, we very occ. used them on flats where they didn't want anything outside at all, or for big houses outbuildings that sort of thing. I had one of the matching SAB speakers left over for years, no idea why I kept it, finally used it on a commercial job a while back. I can find a picture of the ones I've got (their buried) but they had the same guts in a very slim case, which was semi-translucent (it had a strobe). Internal use only.

I agree more working space is nice, I'm used to bigger cables but I don't see any additional wires of boards going in here that I've not already got?

If the choice was between you & AMCO to do my alarm, I'd choose you mk7 & mk8, strange... mk7 is cheaper and will be in the server cupboard, whereas the mk8 looks nicer and will be in the hall . That's assuming you're wondering why i'm getting both. Yea I wasn't going to let AMCO touch anything in the house, even run cables. The agreement I made with them was to literally install their speaker setup and into the panel and then monitor it 20 hours ago, PeterJames said: Are you saying you used Cat6 for the alarm cables? haha no! that's for all the points around the house, APs, CCTV (all PoE etc), TVs etc. Edited April 17, 2020 by sg86sg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it looks alright, better than the MK7 I don't see the touchpanel warrants any extra money, looks quite cheap to me comparing it to devices like Nest stats etc. It will literally be used to arm/disarm because everything else can be done from the mobile app anyway And I'm not going for the Prox one because that just seems stupid to me from a security standpoint, like if you drop your keys, loose the fob, or leave your keys by the front door which my wife will prob do all the time!

sg86sg Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Just now, james.wilson said: This viewpoint always suprises me, what do you do with your (or wifes) car Thanks Well you are spot on especially with these extenders and such these days I don't leave my keys by the front door. However surely this depends on what is more valuable right to determine the risk. I also just don't see a huge convenience of placing a fob against the panel over typing in a code, unless I'm totally missing something here!

james.wilson Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I use a fob, but I don't have my address on my keys. It's a bit like contact less payment it's just easier but I do use a code in the morning or tge app on the phone Also chances are your car is worth more than the stealable contents of your home Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Just want to be clear on that's how it works Of course it would be stupid to leave them accessible but accidents happen and it seems like a huge issue to me. I guess everyone's homes, cars and lifestyle are different so who knows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On galaxy range code is faster on exit, and fob is faster on entry In exit there is a delay when applying the fob , hkc is fast both ways You could use both fob and code on entry not sure if that is an option on the flex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
