  1. Yes but why do 20 domestic jobs with all the hassle for the same profit as one job on a commercial site with very little hassle. Work smart not hard.
  2. Wireless domestic earns us the least amount of revenue, so much so we try to avoid the work altogether.
  3. £0 and we can't keep up with the work we have.
  4. Wouldn't it be better to ask what value of invoices have you raised so far this month, this would give a better idea of how much work is going on.
  5. We are mad busy but I can count on one hand how many bells only domestic systems we have fitted in the last 12 months and every one has maintenance or I have no interest in selling it at all.
  6. If in tameper the Nova 4 LEDs flash faster and not one side to the other.
  7. That will be the cheapo abacus 8, same case as the rebel 8. They also did a metal abacus 8.
  8. Ha ha it's on my house and as you must know that's the last place that gets any work done on the alarm. I have a galaxy 48 ready to fit, it's been there over a year as I can't be arsed fitting it.
  9. We had the pleasure of removing a fully loaded abacus 64 from one of our sites a couple of years ago after a flood. The Galaxy 96 that replaced it is a god send to work on compared to that old piece of tat.
  10. I am sure we have a job with some comet LP passives fitted. When you walk test them they stay O/C for ages after being triggered.
  11. Yes you could use a splitter and make 2 zones out of one, zone 1A and 1B. Mine is a 8/80 I looked after 1000s of them at a company in Manchester I worked at for 10 years.
  12. Mines still going strong here.
  13. Email, then posted agreement form with T&C etc then fit, once fitted a paper copy of the full specification left with customer along with all the other paperwork.
  14. It might of been wise to fully look into the cost of setting up and running a business before jumping ship. If you get approved by SSAIB you can pay them about £60.00 / £70.00 per year to have access to all of the regs online.
  15. All the samsungs we have fitted have been preset 95.
  16. I have flashed bells with 240v many years ago. This kills them instantly.
  17. Here's another
  18. Our intruder cables are fixed with plaster board fixings with a p clip and a tie every 1m. At least I can hold my head up on site as our bit is spot on.
  19. Today we have been 1st fixing intruder on a brand new build on a retail park in Dundee. Sparky on site is fitting the fire alarm. He thinks sticky pads and plasic ties meet the standards as 99% of his cables are fixed this way. No wonder we can't compete with these guys.
  20. Hello and welcome.
  21. I use my laptop as a test monitor for IP, although I need an extension lead to power my mid span if it's a POE camera.
  22. I would 100% agree with Peter on this one, do at least 5 years with an SSAIB or NSI approved company 1st.
  23. We have loops not earthed, panels not earthed batteries dated 2006 etc etc
  24. We have just taken over a large college with 8 mx advanced panels. No paperwork, no plans and nothing marked up. The 1st visit will be 100% with all devices marked up on plans. Then a full report of things we need to do to bring upto standard. Haha it's going to be a long list.
  25. If I was you I would be looking for a new maintainer. They leave a panel tamper on the system after a maintenance visit and then tell you your panel is faulty.
