Hello and welcome

Movement will cause false alarms, detection inside would also not be ideal for the same reason.

Why do you keep saying you can't afford ADT? Also, are you confident that they can't listen in at any time?

It could also be something as simple as a fuse though...

Battery is recommended every 4 years, however as you rightly note the loft is a piss poor place to fit the panel (thousands are fitted in them though) but the extremities cause premature wear so I'd arrange a new battery whilst you are up there. The battery wont be the cause as the unit is dialing but I'd check voltages and loads in alarm both at the speech jobby and phone lines. The unit itself sounds like it's goosed and the only thing the speech and mic have in common would be the processor so probs not worth fixing.

When was it serviced last?

I agree ref the nuisance but if you have it installed and maintained properly your neighbours won't know what your alarm sounds like. Does seem a bit scientology to me though...

@JonJR if you are happy with it and are aware of it's limitations then good for you I say, but this is nothing like the offerings of a proper company. Ref the repair I guess it's not under any sort of maintenance agreement that covers call outs?

The majority of bookies have bells only, hardly a good example of a company who takes security seriously. You're comparing apples with pears.

At what cost?

I'd be looking at external beams

Used to gently but firmly bang on the window for the low tone and press the tester simultaneously for the high tone, as above I dislike these more than shocks.

Oh I don't know about that, I've seen Al Yeti logged in in the early hours...

Hello and welcome, have a read of the rules and apply for trade.

All down to risk, a dialer should be set up to send a test signal imo but that usually adds cost.

Lol, Hello

Can't remember tbf, but a lot were generic modules in those days

Yes points towards the wall

Yup transparent iirc

Yup, usually by window fitters thinking they were alarm men.

eyes like a shithouse rat.

Pyronix enforcer

Used to look after loads of those, they worked fine tbf.

So do I.

It's youth slang for sorry I must have been wrong old chap, please accept my apologies and I'll take myself outside and give myself a jolly good thrashing.
