Some of them mean fields per second not frames 25 frames is realtime. Women and Germans are impressed by big numbers so thats why manufacturers like to put high numbers on stuff

Hi and welcome

Hi and welcome

Says Yorkshire

We have motion detect on with 5 fps with pre motion and 8 on full motion, the recorder is recording all the time but saves 10 secs pre motion @5fps and then jumps to 8fps

They dont quite work the same as Galaxy, all keypads make the arm/disarm noises regardless of the area.

But you paid for a security system and you were happy with the volume when it was installed, it wasnt the installer fault you had a baby.You could ask the installer to change the engineer to a default code. However, I would advice against meddling with the programming of your system, the programming is a large part of what you paid for when you had the system installed. It isnt that hard for a trained engineer to coc up the programming, and so you may end up paying two callouts one to default the code the other to program the system again

The installer is the only one who knows it, its unlikely he will tell you what it is as it will leave all the ret of his customers vulnerable, if you want tro reduce the noise on the cheap tape a cushion over the speaker

We have been using the 1070 for over two years now and would say it spot on, areas are a bit dodgy apart from that its a great bit of kit

apparently so P50 readers I am guessing though

LOL

I always thought that, but its a different story when you get there. I have been lucky enough to see this industry from three sides, an Indian, a Squaw, and a Chief, and being a Chief is no different from being an Indian apart from the problems and misery is ten fold. But.....should I survive to retirement Ill have more funds than most , but knowing my luck by then someone will have invented a paint that disperses burglars and my co will be worth nothing.

Mine are EM not Mifare Thanks for the mention though Jan

Gaz will love this but I blame Thatcher LOL

Cough!

LOL you're beginning to sound like the OP Yeah its really easy anyone that seen a picture of an alarm can start their own business

I admire your guts, but remember 4 out of 5 new businesses fail in the first year. Gaz is giving you good advise, my first business failed miserably, and I had over ten years experience before I went it alone again, I had managed other peoples businesses for several years too, 14 years on and I am still learning new stuff

I have always known it but sometimes idiots are hard to spot, and even though you believe that everyone should have a chance, But dont just take my word for it ask any employer here, we have all employed an idiot or two, the last idiot I employed has gone on to work for four more employers, and he has been with the last one for nearly a year now, they must know he's an idiot by now it only a matter of time

Yes your right Gaz, but sometimes you employ an idiot that lies his way through the interview, and it takes a while to find out he's an idiot because one you dont want to believe that your that stupid to take on an idiot, two he is quite good at covering his tracks he may be an idiot but that doesnt mean he is stupid, if he was an idiot and stupid you would have spotted that straight away in the interview, and lastly if you are a nice boss you will give him the benefit of doubt, and a chance to prove you wrong. But I will never employ someone with those traits again which doesnt mean I wont employ another idiot but the idiot wont be as much of an idiot

Turnover is nothing we could all be busy fools you need to make profit not turnover I assumed it was the one he quoted

I said Most Gaz, you are probably the exception, and everytime I have lost an engineer I have got a better replacement ....though in some cases that wasnt hard

Are you sure that the readers are not multi format readers? I think you will find they can read Mifare

Everyone is replaceable and usually by someone better, because the boss learns from his mistakes and knows what to look for, a good business is ever evolving. That said I have yet to find the perfect employee, most are successfully running there own businesses

I was only saying to one of my engineers just the other day, you boys think its easy for me sitting in a nice warm office, drinking tea made by fair maidens, you forget everytime you have a bad day I also have a bad day, the problem is theres several of you,and sometimes several of you have a bad day on the same day and that means I have a bad day several times the size of your bad day. Then theres the customers, they do their level best to get out of paying, "but the engineer said its the service guys fault" or " I pay £79.00 per year so call-outs should be free" Then theres the admin staff "I didnt send an invoice because the engineer didnt sign the paperwork" or " I thought I would order an extra one of those for stock because we didnt have any" never mind the fact that we have only used one of those in the last twenty years and its likely to be twenty years til we need another then. Yeah running your own company is a barrel of laughs most days. Still at least I have plenty of £50.00 notes to light my cigars with

My advise would be start off as a subbie this way you will have work while you are doing your own thing, as a one man band you will never earn enough to pay your way otherwise
