Your right.................................. I live in Brighton LOL! Hi and welcome, there is a trade side with far more activity and fun, you are more than welcome to apply to join apply here

I think they would soon suss there is only one customer on the app and switch it off

Panels with apps are available but they are not available to the DIY market as you need to have an account to log into the web software to set up the app for the panel.

General Public? / Joe Public? Whats the difference They have keyswitch inputs for arm/disarm

I would say for a max budget of £500 the OP would be looking DIY rather than approved route (or even good co non-approved for that matter) Texe is a well known established brand ( I dont used Texe but thats more by choice than having anything against them) To find a system with all the features of remote arm disarm GSM and other bells and whistle's your choices are rather limited I would be looking for more than twice your budget to supply and install such a system (Mind you I would be installing door contacts at least on your entry route) So my advise would be: Texecom is fine, fit a door contact on the entry exit point, read the instructions thoroughly, dont expect to get too many bells and whistles for £500, there are aps available but most go via a cloud, so would require some installer intervention ( Manufacturers do not deal directly with the end user they dont buy enough kit to pay for the support required. Yale etc will deal with GP and are set up to do so) you can get a gsm dialer, but if you use a PAYG sim dont forget to regularly top it up otherwise it wont work when you need it too.

I look after the alarm at one of the producers houses, he wanted CCTV and we got talking

We had to use a clock radio in the bedroom swapped the standard leds for ir ones thats why the ir is all over the place, his wife told him she was testing it for her mother, the clock radio is quite funky though you can only read it at night. The other two we used black IR the one in the kitchen there was no where to hide the IR so there is no ir

Funnily I thought that, apparently they had been planning this for some time with his wife so they new what he wore in bed. I was also concerned about the privacy issues of between him arriving home and going to bed.

Been up all night working on this, but the final edit turned out really good really please with the 1.3mp cams they did a great job

two more posts to go LOL hi and welcome

Bizzare because in the early years NSI frowned upon their use Welcome BTW

Craig, the public side of this forum is miniscule in comparison to the trade side and there are many members that are trade only that cannot even see your post. You are welcome to apply for trade.

Hi and welcome You may find a used one on ebay but that panel is long obsolete now

If the bell still sounds when you down power it then why are you changing the battery? Its not essential that the sa battery is replaced unless it is really u/s, the chances of someone breaking in to your property and completely down powering the alarm system is low. The bellbox looks like a Nova 6 so there is a screw behind the blue lense if you look closely you will see there is screw cover in the lense. Personally I would not bother until the battery fails completely

I have nothing against ADT, however, a local would just quote a GSM or Wifi solution for a lot less than £800, now ADT may also be a lot less than £800 but engineer should have called the office and quoted the correct price. At the end of the day its about giving the customer the right information so they can make the right decision

Pleased to see you are giving as good as you get there. As for the fault I have never known any addressable fire panel do that with no faults but I cant see how you have it wired or what its wired too. I would test that it works ok firstly then secondly look to see which relay is clicking if it has one Im not familiar with Gent, there a closed protocol system.

Two weeks to six months take a wild guess! Anyway looking at your picture you dont look old enough to be employed just yet

with audio?

It would if they want the CCTV to be admissible though. Domestic can do what they like so long as they are not breaking any privacy laws. But if you want the CCTV to used as evidence it has to comply

That said the question is about data protection and CCTV Hi Sophie The ico does not like audio recordings with CCTV system besides anything else it also breaks a few privacy laws, and unless your system is fully compliant with the DPA the CCTV would not be admissible in court anyway It sounds like you are having environmental problems you can get more information on what to do here https://www.gov.uk/local-environmental-quality I would swerve the swan kit like my life depended on it.

One of them was Gaz probably the black one

There is nothing in the standard that says you must or must not have flashing leds. Most modern hardwired BB do have flashing Leds, most wireless dont. There are hard wired box's available without Leds. It depends on what type of intruder you are likely to get as to whether he will even notice if you have an alarm, a professional burglar will have done his homework, and a drugged up opportunist wont notice the bell at all until its ringing.

DMZ to the local IP of the DVR, thats all you can do with Technicolour

£10 pcm no call charges? are you paying less than £10pm on mobile calls currently? Also if you dont make enough calls to warrant the sim what makes you think you're going need to call two mobiles at the same time?

There used to be a Modem type thingy that you put a sim card in that connected to you pabx and everytime you dialed an 07 it used the modem all other numbers used the standard line. Cant you do something like that?
