You've lived a very sheltered life then. Nice mains btw

He's talking about the deterrent value though, you wouldn't know it was a real system until you'd passed the point of being 'deterred'

bless you....

On a Sunday morning ? Probably staring at the ceiling from bed not always looking at phone? Or he's in church staring at ceiling praying you stop doing his head in?

I've removed one & chucked it in the bin !

TBF that sounds like the last ten years to me!

ADT dummy box more of a deterrent than a working system? If that was the case hardly anyone would fit a system. [Logan: ADT is whole different topic you can't compare a national to a local like that, start that topic somewhere else, please] Considering the knowledge you have shown about the components and operation (areas/zones) of the system and my experience giving advice here, you'll probably struggle to DIY. Minimum requirement will be batteries (probably replacing the bell at the same time) system checks with a multimeter (knowledge how to do these), walk test, beel test, operation checks etc etc. Even then you will have to hope the programming is to your liking, otherwise you'll have to learn how to program a system with limited access to manuals or the terminology in them. Someone that knows how to program a Menvier could likely recommission everything in less than an hour. Consider all this before you leap at the task of DIY, your playing with a safety system that could annoy your neighbours when you can't shut it up in the early hours, you've then lost some of your deterrent factor.

Logan is 13 or something dude , just for clarity (no offence Logan of course )

No worries. I can take a look at the server side to determine the issue for you if you need help. Although SelfMon costs £1 a month, it gives many options for filtering events and directing to different devices/people depending on the priority. It also checks that the internet path is up, testing receipt of an hourly test signal and sending alerts if it's missed.

Especially with ADT since they don't sell dummies, and even the dumbest most drugged up crim will probably recognise the brand / box. Hate to admit it but Yale have the same effect - see a Yale box, 9.5/10 it must have at least been a whole system at some point. Granted, probably badly installed / not working / unset now, but you won't know until you try.
