  1. Sounds a bit fishy, either someone walk tested the system and found blind spots, or the system was unset and the CCTV times have been adjusted to make it look like it was out of hours. The log logs when its armed and when its not Id be getting a print off and checking the CCTV very closely to make sure that the clocks are all correct. The only times Ive seen anything like it always turned out to be an inside job.
  2. Hi Niki You would probably need to get your installer to set this up for you
  3. Still better than a verisure system though
  4. You have either pulled a wire out or not closed the tamper switch on the lid properly
  5. I get this all the time, cutomers save a few quid buying their own cheaper than we can buy for. But we have to buy from a proper source, and usually if something is a lot cheaper then its for a reason. We buy batteries direct we know where they come from they are genuine and we turnover batteries very quickly so they have not been sitting around for six months. Buying from Amazon Ebay or even the bigger warehouses like B&Q you have no idea how long they have been sitting on the shelf, if the staff have recirculation the shelf. People do not realise batteries have a shelf life and that there are plenty of fake batteries out there too
  6. Agreed with James, I too dont know ion stuff but assuming its two way wireless and lithium batteries you should get 18 months minimum. Are you able to adjust the rf poling? its the only thing that could be draining the battery, but in that case I would expect them all to be coming up low battery
  7. you havent wired the bedroom pir up correctly if you have a tamper fault
  8. As above, its not in the user programing settings
  9. Hi and welcome, CCTV has come a long way in the last few years you can get systems with trip wires and intrusion boxes, when set up correctly the camera will only inform you if a human, or a vehicle, or both humans or vehicles enter the intrusion box or cross the tripwire. To be clear it can be set up as either singular or both. Some systems can go much further than this you can have a system set up to alert you if anyone with a red jumper enters the site if you needed to.
  10. If your recorder has it you can also arm/disarm remote viewing from an input like say your intruder alarm, this would be overridden if a 24hr device activated like PA. This way the ARC only have access when the system is armed you can automate the arming using an output on the intruder so when set or part set the CCTV is armed when the intruder system is disarmed so is the CCTV
  11. If you need it monitored with Police response then it has to be installed by a accredited installer Put your postcode in here https://www.nsi.org.uk/company-finder/
  12. My controller and reader will do that, gimme a call Monday
  13. No Im suggesting you put your postcode in on the sites "search for company in your area" and contact the companies close to you.
  14. I have locked readers and fobs, they are wiegand so should work with paxton controllers alternately I have a stand alone controller the cost would be about £200.00 for controller and reader and the fobs are £4.00 ea as I have to program them specially
  15. There is a shortage of good engineers in the UK you should have no trouble finding something. As above the NSI and SSAIB websites are a good place to start
  16. Costly mistake spending a load of money on DIYing G3 stuff only to be told by the installer that they wont take it on.
  17. QFA if your battery has been knackered for a long time the charging circuit will not be able to charge a battery anymore. Under load that 13v will be more like 9v
  18. So long as the charging circuit is not knackered you could replace the battery and wait 24hours until its fully recharged, you should be able to turn the power off for around 8 hours without the sounder sounding, its either that or diss the sounder, but be warned the strobe has high voltage.
  19. What are you selling?
  20. It will if someone then enters. Also it wont be G3 if your not an accredited installer
