Seriously tho, I have installed the click to call extension it allows me to use my pc as the same phone extension, but I dont think it lets me control the phone

Im not building and extension Ive just spent a fortune on a carpark

Anyone else using 3cx? I a trying to get my PC to connect to my phone. I have the client working and I can make work calls from my mobi, but I would prefer to dial the phone from my pc

Have you tried switching it on and off again?

Its working okay except the external sounder doesnt work when the smoke detectors activate

If it reset okay last time then whats the problem ?

Did you check that fuse with a multimeter? It doesnt look blown to me. Check the batteries in your smoke detectors for the beeping

Strange as most who turn up here are experts after looking at a picture of an alarm system.

I would have hoped three years on he would be fully trained by now

Hi and welcome, the break seems a looooong time ago now

Hi and welcome The rules in the UK are a fair bit different to the U.S.

IMO quads are the better detector for domestic environments. I do use pet detectors, I have a pet myself and use the Bossch Blueline DT, never had a fa and the detectors see me when I walk around the areas that I allow my dog when the system is set. In my bedrooms I have quad detectors. We only use quads we wont use cheap detectors they are just not worth it to save £5 per detector. We use Optex RX 40 mostly (Optex only make detectors so they are good at it) or the HKC Quad if we are using ID wiring.

There you go again grade 3 must be better its a bigger number and it costs more. Seriously you dont want G3, I can count on one hand how many G3 domestic systems we have out there, nearly all our G3 systems are high-end jewellers and museums. HKC dont make G3 that's because they may a G2 system much better than everyone else making G2/3 systems. if you are going to look after it yourself it wont even be a G2 system DIY is G1. It sounds like the Bahnams Salesman has no clue if he has told you that you can have the engineers code, sounds the type that will say anything to get the sale. They wont give you the engineering code.

Id say that the quality of HKC is slightly better, the panel has a few more features than most. For instance, every panel with a smartphone app will inform you when your kids come home an unset the alarm. But very few will inform you that they have not come home by the time they were supposed to, its just a versatile well made panel.

Hi and welcome to the forum, one tip shorter posts encourage people to read what you have written, I understand you have a lot of questions, ask them one at a time . You really dont need a dual tech in your kitchen, DT's are made for hostile areas like garages barns ect. People think because its made up of two technologies and it costs more it must be better. They dont understand that its made for a different environment, the only time I would use DT's in a domestic environment is if I am using pet tolerant detection where the microwave is specifically designed to prevent false alarms from your pet. Quads are the better detector for domestic non quad if you are on a budget. Texe imo is not the best you can get, but you are already fairly confused on what you really want so I wont put you off.

Can we rename this topic to "Ive seen your ring"

Now theres a blast from the past !

I dont rate any of the the Uniview kit that I have seen. That said I have some very old system q stuff that is rebadged Hik that I would have rated quite poor at the time compared with the likes of Mobotix and Axis which was what I was installing top end at the time. There is a market for cheap end CCTV and if you look how far Hik have come because they sold cheap tat, there is always room for another cheaper brand for Sony to sell their seconds too.

Hik and Dahua are a slightly different league from Uniview. I would go as far to say Hik and Dahua are a mid range product, Uniview is more base product bit like Floureon or Swan

Hi and welcome

Roger welcome to the forum, please familiarise yourself with the rules before posting https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/guidelines/

I would hope after four years he would have fixed the fault by now

When was it last serviced?
