Your paying for them to fix it, what you paid for the system doesnt cover free callouts forever.

You wont get in with 7890 the engineer code would have been changed. Have you tried calling your installer? If its not been serviced since 2002 its likely your problem will be battery related, it should have been replaced four times since 2002

Sorry Martin no defaulting instructions can be given out in the public areas or by PM to anyone that has not been screened as trade, for obvious reasons

I know someone who used to sell for them, he was with them for around five years never heard him complain. They let quite a few engineers go a couple of years ago as they lost a big contract, we were flooded with CV's with service guys from Romec at the time. I think they all found jobs soon enough. Dave Partridge works for them not that you ever see him on here nowadays.

Knowing the age of the panel its probably assumed that the bell is of a relative age. The advice given comes from the voice of experience, the panel over 20 years old, it has been on all that time, armed or not, it has been on, therefore its tired. If you left your tv on for 20 years would you expect the picture quality to be as good as new? Even well serviced alarm systems become unreliable as they get to the sort of age yours is, yours hasnt been serviced for several years by the sound of things. The problem with alarm systems is they can be a nuisance when they start making noises in the middle of the night and the owner cant stop them, engineers dont like being woken up in the middle of the night to attend to alarm systems that have become a nuisance because the owner tried to save some cash, hence when you come here and ask we give the right advice. If its not what you want to hear thats not really our problem, we can only tell you what is right, because you wont thank us if we just told you what you want to hear, when the thing is going off at silly oclock in the morning and you cant stop it.

I love those, with the little bits of nuts and nougat all covered in a solid chocolate.

They look quite good, pity theyre non compliant I would use those

Καλώς ήλθατε στο φόρουμ

I saw an alarm engineer vacancy at £80k a while back, but I would guess a pound of flesh would be the requirement for the wage.

Not after a few days it wont, you need to test it under load ideally with a load test meter, failing that you can current test the panel. The only way to test without a meter is to remove the mains for a few hours and see how long the panel stays live for, once the bell starts ringing put the mains back on for 24 hours, then remove it again. If the sounder sounds immediately the charging circuit is fooked.

How will you be able to tell after a few days?

Its possible to do it by drill but it takes practice. Hand is the safest and to be fair the easiest way. Once youve done a couple by hand youll be a dab hand.

Nice pen, Montblanc?

Yeah but there is a sweet girl there apparently

Croeso!

Nah

If you do security you should have efficacy insurance and there are only two companies that provide this. We use Camberford Law, I cant remember who the other one is

I think that sooner or later it would be difficult not to charge. They are seeing a slow down in the sales of smart phones, mainly because the phone of this year is not that much better than the phone of two or three years ago. CCTV I think peaked at 2mp anything higher res than that you are just wasting HDD space in most cases. The point of CCTV is to identify and on the whole 2mp does that unless you put the camera on in a stupid place, or you trying to achieve two cameras worth of pictures from one. So sooner or later CCTV sales will start to fall, not everyone in the UK wants CCTV and those who have it will not see the need to upgrade as they do now. So therefore sales will start to drop, and thats when apps will become costly to run, and the cheaper Chinese apps will stop working and the Hiks of this world will have to charge, port forwarding is the safest bet rather than cloud.

Hi have you applied for trade yet? I think most of the free ones are, or will, soon be charging, it costs money to run and up keep a cloud server. Like everything in this world in order for someone to get something for nothing, someone else got nothing for something. We have always used the pay for apps and steered clear of the free apps, think about it if you are relying on it to protect something you care about why would you use something thats free? What come back have you got if it failed to operate? You cant even ask for your money back. Dont get me wrong I think out of all the apps Ive seen the Risco one is one of the best. I just dont trust it, mainly because it is or has been free

Its not a funny story if your posting it on a forum where everybody has heard it more than a few hundred times

I reckon it will be fine for twenty years until one morning when it doesnt start, think of the money you'll save

Risco were the only people doing this for free, every other manufacturer was charging for it. The signals from your panel go to a cloud server and then gets forwarded to your app, all that kit is not cheap, and it was on the cards that it would not be free forever. I was told that it all depended on sales on when they were going to start charging, I am surprised they went as long as they did without charging to be fair. All those cheap Chinese DVR app servers will follow soon

I used one as a doorbell in my old house with a sound clip from the fast show "this week I have been mostly eating raspberry poptarts"

system q have one but its not that loud they have the pre recorded message too

I dont know, this one worked fine until about the fifteenth century then it started losing time.
