  1. That where I buy my batteries from too!
  2. It is a big problem, we had several CCTV recorders running on XP, we still have albeit they are not connected to any networks. The same goes for win 7 machines we have a couple of systems that we cant upgrade to 10 because the hardware required to view the cameras doesnt work with W10. We have told the customers that they either need to upgrade all the cameras and the recorder, or go with an off-the-shelf hybrid recorder.
  3. They only have the albion in Brighton
  4. I have always lived on the outskirts of Brighton, the office has never been in Brighton it was Worthing its now Storrington.
  5. My last house I had lights curtains and heating connected to my G500, it used to open and close the curtains switch lights on and off and control the heating on a timer along witha separate digital temperature thermostat. You could do anything the the outputs combined with JK flipflop and a few erl timer relays. My remote app was Galaxy gold back then, I used to have to stop the car, connect my lappy to my phone physically and log into my alarm in order to switch the heating on on the way home.
  6. I use RF lightwave you can more or less instruct it to do whatever you need using IFTTT Frost protection is never overridden
  7. Studies have shown that people who have more Birthdays live longer
  8. Battery life is the main reason for two way wireless, but there are benefits to two way comms they are more secure when it coms to jamming, the panel polls the detector instead of the other way around, diagnostics like range ect, you can put the detectors in walk test mode from the panel just to name a few. I use Alexa for home automation, I have given much thought to using Alexa to arm and disarm, she recognises my voice over others in my family. I may use her to part set arm only but at the moment not disarm. I have been experimenting with wireless locks (not for home) and part of that I have purchased some of these cheap wireless locks to take apart and redevelop. One of them came with an App that has an Alexa skill, I thought well it may be useful so I tried it. To use it you tell Alexa to unlock the door, Alexa then asks you for a code, you say the code and the door unlocked. So anyone in earshot can here the code and unlock the door, not so secure. I do use my alarm to switch on various outputs though, when the alarm is armed all the lights in the house and outbuildings are switched off, when I come in the hall light comes on so I can find the keypad, when my system is armed fully my heating switched off I can override this function if I am just poping out for ten mins You can integrate your CCTV to your intruder app, but I haven t bothered my CCTV app already tells me what I need to know, I dont mean it lets me know if something is moving in my garden trees are always blowing around why do I need to know that? it tells me in a person size object (not next doors cat) is approaching the house, it alerts me before the intruder so no need to integrate.
  9. 1. You cant see your ears without a mirror 2. You cant count your hair 3. You cant breath through your nose with your tongue out 4.you just tried number 3 6.When you tried number 3 you found it is possible but you looked like a dog 7, Your smiling right now because you were fooled 8.You just skipped number 5 9. You checked to see if there is a no. 5
  10. Optima 2 is not the same as a concept 6
  11. With respect Logan unless you are 100% sure that a product is compatible, you should not comment. If that guy had purchased the Honeywell keypad, and then tried to fit it, he would have at the very best scenario a waste of money, worst scenario buggered his panel.
  12. Its obsolete Im afraid you might get a used one on Ebay but they stopped making that panel around 20 years ago
  13. Upgraded
  14. I do the vetting but never log in as vetter its a PITA I have to log out as me then log in as vetting and remember passwords and all that old bullocks, I get the PM via email, it is all under way although it would have been quicker if you had sent James Wilson a stool and urine specimen I can provide address details if its your preferred route, but I warn you now he requires large samples.
