For true detection, video analytics would be my weapon of choice, although not for the faint hearted as the cost is prohibitive 

Really? AI CCTV is cheaper than you think and its getting cheaper all the time the tech is in the basic kit now for some brands.

And why would you think I don't know anything? I don't have much exposure on the lower end security market you seem to occupy but that doesn't mean I have no idea!

 

AJAX isn't cheap either, orison and texecom are cheaper and what you would consider a traditional system. What are the issues with AJAX, easy to slate something you've never assessed yourself!

 

Its a security forum, I have trouble understanding what some of the northerners are saying. I had the Ajax rep in the kit looked nice enough if you like non compliant one way wireless tat

How is it none compliant tat? I thought it was grade 2?

 

The one way thing is a bit **** though.

 

I was talking about analytics such as davantis or ipsotec, facial recognition such as Hertz, Server based pro systems, although I grant you the Chinese tat does do a reasonable job if you're happy with a bot on your network.

Peter, out of interest why do you call it tat?

 

is it the plastics?

 

the interface?

 

or just the different why in which they see the industry?

 

the fact the keypad has no prox is a massive f/up in my mind.

 

you all say its for the diy market yet you can't buy it on the diy market, well not main stream like Screwfix etc

Diy

so by that definition  texecom, visonic, pyronix and Galaxy is also diy!

 

just because you can get it on the internet on some shady site and Ebay, you could say that is the same thing, doesn't mean its diy or tat for that matter!

We are talking about ajax , we already know about the other models being available

 

You need drugs or.need to get off then , you said it wasn't main stream DIY ???????

Yes anything available on mainstream market is also available for DIY 

 

Although you will have trouble getting support for allot of issues from some manufacturers

I'd class it as prosumer better than yale response etc but not a 'pro' bit of kit. I would also say that market is merging for the DIY+ market they know they can't get the right stuff from b&q screwfix etc

at last a adult comment, thank you James Wilson.

 

Norman, you seem confused the reference to the 5 - 7 response time is if you run their monitoring software and dispatch your own guards, guessing its a European thing, or at least eastern European 

 

as for my English language friend, what are you on about! ive already said I don't fit this stuff, or in fact any alarms im not in that industry!

 

you comment about support holds true for Ajax as it does for galaxy, you have to be a company to get support. although Honeywell never check what you tell them!

Why would they advertise your response times, they have no control over them?

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

I don't like this attitude, condescending to rule out everybody else's opinion as childish because it doesn't align with your opinions. Maybe your not but it comes across that way.

Remember most trade contributors have decades of experience screwing boxes of electronics to walls with some effort of providing security and detection.

If this is the type of answer you are looking for then it's a different topic of conversation about the industry as a whole, it's a massive bag of worms difficult to put in one post...

You contradict yourself in the same post, your not in the industry but they replied to your support ticket. I'm not surprised BTW.

I don't think any company can truly ignore a request for support it just looks bad, this is where they have to strike some balance and were installers would prefer they at least had priority.

It's always been the same anyone can get hold of any kit, I don't feel you can withhold basic support in this instance. Just like with any other products not in the industry.

 

The issue is you can't teach someone how to fit a "pro" alarm system via a support ticket or a forum, engineers have had years of training or apprenticeships to understand how it all fits together and apply it.

This is were prosumer or DIY falls apart IMO, it's not just about the product it's about the knowledge and application of it. The "pro" gear has also had years of tweaks, specifically for the UK market to make it adaptable for every installation and engineers are trained and get support on it. You can't condense years of installer knowledge on security into a prosumer product or make a DIY install manual.

 

The grading thing your asking about is sort of irrelevant for this instance, you can only fit a graded system as a company. It's the whole fitted system that "becomes graded", the component parts of the system have to conform but the system is graded as a whole. So outside of the industry it means very little unless you understand what each grade means and have knowledge of each standard that parts correspond to. We also have different variations on top of the EN standard in the UK too, we refer back to BS4743 and then we have BS8243 as some examples.

 

The other points Al alluded to is who tested the kit conformed? Has it had third party testing for the UK market? At best it's unproven along side established products.

The UK market is very different and why I believe lot of this "tat" is pitched as prosumer/DIY were I could see a company fitting it in the rest of the EU. It's also pointless to try and break into a market that has plenty of options with a new product that does similar to what your engineers are trained on.

Also any product could claim it's two way but only have one component two way (cough, powermax tat) this is where marketing comes in. Unless you understand how this type of kit functions in a activation, what the spec sheet or marketing says means very little.
