  1. I used to love charging big caps up on rainy days then throwing them in puddles on the way home from college
  2. I used to fix TV's and videos not as a trade as such, more as a hobby, I used to meet up with a couple of mates one who had a workshop with a scope and tone generator ect. No money in fixing them nowadays, you can buy one for what a couple of hours labour would cost.
  3. You're lucky this is public and jeff cant read this as he will punch you in the face too
  4. Family Fortunes we asked a hundred burglars........
  5. LOL No! Although I do wake up at 4am occasionally and think to myself this is the life, I have another couple of hours before I have to get up.
  6. Well there is at least one person looking at them that not in this industry then I was going to say its an age thing, but my eyes have improved as I got older, apparently this is not unusual.
  7. Me too I never looked at a bb until I worked in this industry

  9. I havent looked at her page for some while now, since she dropped her FB page She still has her FB page and I am still on it but I dont get the updates?
  10. Hi Jack Welcome Love the picture, there are one or two young people that are into collecting old alarms on here.
  11. Hi Dave welcome
  12. I never used to install equipment supplied by others, it provides all sorts of warranty issues. We once had a large video entry system to install, the whole building project went over budget and the customer was looking to make savings. The customer asked us for a discount but we were unable to assist. So the customer then asked the electrical contractor if they could supply the kit, we did not want to fall out with the contractor so we agreed, and still made as much on the install as we would have if we supplied the kit. The job was installed with no problems we were quite impressed with the kit supplied by the customer, but within a few weeks tenants started moving in and the kit started to go wrong, each time we went back we charged for the privilege, we removed the failing part and give it to the customer to return under warranty, and then we would return when the customer got the replacement and charge again. Since then I have looked at the supply of customers equipment very differently, the customer takes charge of the warranty and takes the risk when things go wrong then I am quite happy for them to supply the kit. Mind you after telling any customer that asks the above they rarely want to supply the kit. I have had on occasion customers wanting to supply their own batteries. I always make sure that they are aware we only buy branded batteries and that we do have a high turnover of batteries, therefore they never reach their shelf life. Batteries are available much cheaper on auction sites ect, however, these are often close to shelf life or unbranded poor quality, we would be happy to provide batteries supplied by themselves, but we will not warranty the batteries, should the battery fail before the next maintenance is due we will charge them to return and replace it. Most let us use our own batteries, two customers have used their own and had to call us us to replace batteries before service was due, one was a couple of weeks after their service, suffice to say we replaced all the batteries on both occasions.
  13. You need an internal sounder module which you wire into the external sounder outputs, this will only sound when the alarm is in alarm IIRC it follows the on-board speaker which sounds every time you press a button
  14. The speaker output will follow the button presses, if you want something that just makes a noise internally when the alarm is activated you need an internal sounder not a speaker.
  15. When asked for a break down I ask, why, it will not make any difference its the same price!
  16. Did you mean the internal sounder?
  17. How did you wire it?
  18. You're most welcome Imran It seemed to work well here and I have not had any returns on the ones Ive sold so far. Its not a £1000.00 dome for £100 but they are not bad value for money
  19. Yes Technically you dont need a monitor with a CCTV system if you are going to view it remotely using client software, but how are you going to program the remote client settings in the first place? The OP is asking if he has to buy one or not, of course he does he cant program in his ip setting or put it into engineers mode even without one! Mind you if he is asking the most basic question as does he need a RKP or not, I think my question would be does he need to start somewhere a little more basic, before he starts throwing piles of cash at it.
  20. Its telling you the left patio door is open, if its not open then there is something wrong with that circuit
  21. Well done for spotting that, you would be really surprised by how many people apply before they have posted once. Unfortunately forums dont work if no-one posts, therefore we only allow those that do post to join,it also helps if the proof of trade is a bit shady
  22. I saw that, it must have been a bargain
  23. LOL no I dont sell on ebay!!
  24. Did you still want this one? I am sending the instructions and software by WeTransfer now
