The job we are doing in the morning is a prime example, customer saves a few quid and buys a CCTV kit from Costco. He fits is and then realises its cr@p. Tomorrow we are pulling it out and fitting replacement IP CCTV Buy cheap buy twice.

£1000.00s In fact 10s of £1000.00s

See them come and go round these parts every couple of years. One of the local nobs tried to take over one of ours. Grade. 3 dualcom, 2 visits with URN for intruder & pa much less than half of the market price. I worked out by the time he paid for the URN transfer it would have cost him £100.00 in year one just to win the work, now that's how to run a successful business.

I can't remember last time we fitted an alarm on a domestic.

Your going to have to chuck a massive amount Yale tat in to make any money. Just imagine how many times your going to have to go back while its in warranty to sort out this cheap tat.. From day one we have fitted Galaxy and good quality dual techs on every job, we get very few callouts.

95% of the Galaxy's we fit are the GD48

We only fit galaxy and the amount of calls I get after a mains fail of line fault is shocking, as said not the most user friendly but they have been rock solid for us.

I am an SSAIB man in an estate car

There must be something in the water down that way Chris Murphy.

One of the worst job we have on our books was fitted from scratch by Pete's error of judgment.

Haha I am just enjoying the moment as tomorrow morning it's back to the knob head customers who think fully comp cover means they don't get charged for deleting there own fob in error.

Yes our turn over is great turning that into profit is the biggest task. And then of course paying the least amount of tax on it.

Ok so weeks before I left a large national to start up I had the following in place, this was almost 10 years ago now. Car already signed up Loads of stock All of the tools, ladders etc A years wages saved up in the bank as a backup Loads of contacts potential customers I had met over the years Accountant in place Ltd company set up and ready to trade Docket books, invoice books etc printed and ready to use. I think it cost about £6k to put the above in place excluding the years wage I had saved up. Then a lot of very long hours to get things up off the ground and running and finally never give up just keep going and trying. And get approval ASAP. Would I do it again, NO WAY.

At least you can't disable the anti mask on them

Bluetac, well if it wasn't broken it will be now.

Why not put the detector at celling level and feed the cable from upstairs. If you are doing it from the floor up it doesn't comply and it's just rough.

My god, if any of our lads did this they would be in the office for a disciplinary

Hi and welcome mate.

My mum and dad have a sterling 10 still running perfect after almost 20 years hardly ever serviced, doesn't make it any good though.

We have fitted 100s of Axis cameras with only one not working out of the box, some of them have now been fitted 3 years and not a single problem. Also the Axis video encoders and I/O mod's have been 100% trouble free aswell.

Died for good had to be sent back for replacement.

Yes. Still having problems with LEDs not working on certain cameras on the system. We have had 2 machines die completely.

We have had nothing but trouble with Hikvision. For now we have stopped using it.

But surly under 2m it should be mechanically protected?

Lol
