Just to elaborate on the brief reply above, it probably only needs a service and new door contact.

Scope was one of the weapons of choice back when I used to repair TVs, couldn't be done efficiently without one. The one we had in the shop was a clunky Radiospares one iirc. Never used one as an alarm engineer although ADT had one in the stores.

Doesn't answer my question though.

What if I'm present and don't want my lights to come on?

lol, everything is available DIY nowadays.

Hello

Are you confusing a restart with a default?

I listened to Cressida Dick on LBC yesterday, don't be fooled by the wording 'Could' they have to investigate every complaint. Personally I'd let the police reverse back over the little fuckers.

Only if they are running around the front garden...

A complaint to the SSAIB would be my port of call.

Most I've had was the neighbour putting his rubbish in my bin. Talking about hit and runs, brother in law's cctv picked up a neighbour keying another neighbours Alfa, again the police wouldn't take action as they said it was only a probability even though you could see he came out of his house and walked right up to the car and down the side then went back inside. They interviewed him and he denied it so they wouldn't pursue it until bil's neighbour got the local MP involved.

I've always said resi cctv (and some comm) is useless in most scenarios, have a look at all the cctv of van theft and break in's, every scroat expects it and covers appropriately. The police are not interested in it, my sister in law had an accident last December, non fault and all caught on dashcam as clear as day. They got a letter 2 weeks ago saying they were suggesting knock for knock as there were no witnesses, they'd not even reviewed it. (I know dashcam footage is different but the sentiment is the same)

Not always, the same thing could be said about nationals fixing and indis condemning.

?

I read it as you've had it 4 years? not a long time in real terms but what type of maintenance contract do you have with the maintenance company? Sadly the sale of goods act offers no protection for lifecycle of supply, nor is there any legislation that I'm aware of.

^ please.

Hello and welcome Poppy, If the battery is 6 years old it would require replacing, this is recommended every 4 years, so I would suggest getting someone out to replace the battery, service the system and carry out the alterations all at the same time, this should save you numerous call out fee's. Post your general location and I'm sure someone on here will be able to help. Hope this helps. Steve
