well I guess that's me on the naughty step - If you want to be an alarm man get a job with an alarm company. You not going to get any much experience buying tat from ebay, reading books or asking on an alarm themed forum

Apps - making life harder for alarm co's & providing little or no revenue. As for progress, will your app signal without power to the premises or the line cut ? App ain't really suited for security...

alarm apps- "meh"

That's the thingy...

dunno, too busy ?

no.

chinese ebay thing ? I certainly can't recall surface components on Bell Module I've ever seen... louvered...

There was going to be a "BSIA" open protocol of sensors on a shared data bus or something ?

have you considered buying a dog ?

good info

I suspect you'll have to buy a proper alarm

sorted ?

or you've been unaware it does'nt work for ages ?

Can I get new parts for your product from a reputable source ? you was robbed.... If your fully comp £0 if your paying for new £600 ish ?

When my phone system is broken you still get a ring on the callers line.... Your alarm calls a SMS Gateway, it may turn many turns w/o succesess & be quite pricey on billing the provider of the SMS gateway gets no income, there are a legacy service & many networks turned there's off years ago... Its comparable to a carrier pigeon, the day you really need it to work it gets eaten by next doors cat PTSN is dead, all the copper in the ground is getting moved to fibre & the network is going VOIP, which mean modems in burglar alarm & faxes (remember them ?) won't work as the timing & tones is really critical to signalling You need to signal via IP or a SIM card, better stuff uses both.

PTSN is dead If you don't have a one.... find a proper alarm co. who will maintain & monitor the alarm via single path stand alone device However if your looking for a new provider a euro meridian could or cira 18 yrs old, some might refuse to support it

0 then eng code 0 Ent then eng code If you don't have the eng code, the book has defaulting instructions However the 500r is old tat, personally I'd kick it off the wall...

Was the seller wearing a mask ? as they robbed ya....

if the dualcom is in the loft & is working.... the modem may have been for downloading, remove it or find a something to make it think its connected to a telephone line ?

I'd assume dial capture was how the dualcom was working ?

2500 is cira 20odd year old ? eh? any module, modem, keypad or zem ect... connected to the system is fault monitored, should it be removed you will either need to program if off or default the system & reprogram it with out the device present whats are you attempting to do with the 4 outputs on the endstation ?

I did a repair today, battery fault (12 yr old) New build block of faults, the system has never ever been set.... As the sensors had been wired n/o ! I wonder how many of the other 50+ flats have never been set or commissioned proper

Pick up the phone & call xyz alarms they'll repair it & place it on maintenance contract, oddly the maintained alarms give much less problems than unmaintained alarms ? or lob a battery at it & wing it.....

no, its probably most people don't like alarms ?

nick 'em from every job....
