Guest heliart Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Good practice or not to also run a door bell button to a spare zone on your panel, and have that zone set to chime. Seems to me to be a good idea, especially if you have numerous keypads and speakers all over the house. No more missed visitors. , Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not every visitor (when you're out) will set your alarm off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul P Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 We did add it to some Gardtec panels but found the caller did not press the button for long enough for the panel to recognise it so no chime. Didn Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 My Galaxy has 2 exit terms, one on each door, they double up as doorbells and also trigger the CCTV to switch to the relevant camera. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cyberprog Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 A nice idea, but my doorbell is hooked into the house PBX anyway so I can find out who's at the door without leaving the comfort of my bed.

Guest Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Another part of the installation outside of the protected premises Exactly the same position as an exit terminator, in fact, use an exit terminator as a bell when unset. Do you put a DT outside to cover exit terminators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lectrician Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Exactly the same position as an exit terminator, in fact, use an exit terminator as a bell when unset. Do you put a DT outside to cover exit terminators? All chubb systems seem to have an exit terminator button - doesn't look too dis-similar to a door bell. Although they do place them high up out of the way on the frames on the ones I have seen.......umm, what if your disabled?

Guest Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 what if your disabled? You probably couldn't reach the keypad to start the exit timer anyway so I wouldn't worry about the terminator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
