Chime on

There are several things that could be causing your problem as follows: 1. Auxiliary power failing. Loose fuse or poor connection at the panel down powering the vipers will cause the circuit to go open giving the impression that they had activated. This is why its important to know If the pir were to activate along with the vipers when the system is fully set as this would indicate that it is a power problem. 2. The cables to the vipers may have a fault on them, the fact that you have nt had a tamper fault would suggest that the 24hr loop is okay, if you swap the pair both ends and you start to get tamper faults then you know its the cable. Although it could also be an intermittent short between the tamper and alarm circuit. So if the false alarms continue it still maybe a short between alarm and tamper, To prove this I would remove the wires from the tamper circuit and fit a link, if the fa's stop its a short problem. 3. The panel itself. It could be just the zone or it could be dropping power 4. The vipers. As there is two of them it is very unlikely, but not impossible. My money is on 1 or 2 the detectors seem to work as they should when tested and the panel operates correctly, but an intermittant fault can be difficult to find especially without a multimeter.

So the pir has not been armed so you dont know if it is false activating as well? Or have the vipers activated whilst the property was vacant and the pir was armed

okay this narrows it down a little, do you have other powered detection, motion detectors or beams ect?

On the walk test do the lights latch on? Do you have a button you have to press to reset them or are they reset when you set the alarm? Blitz is a good company in Kent if your thinking of changing

Could be many things, so a bit more info is required. If its not wired eol then it may be a cable fault, it may also still be a cable fault if the power is dropping. When was it last serviced? How old is the standby battery?

Hi and welcome

Ive known numpties to put their hands up, to stuff not knowing it cant be used against them, more so now there is less legal aid

okay then a judge falling for it

Sometimes its the way a person walks, moves around that people can id from. The kids that smashed my window came back a few days later and pulled a cable from one of the cameras, this time they were wearing hoodies on but they were wearing all the same clothes they were wearing the day they smashed the window. So we already had the ID pictures you could tell it was them without doubt. In a court of law you could that it was someone pretending to be them but I cant see any jury falling for that one.

I didnt know him but the Police did. That time I had Mega-Pixel cams all the other times they were analogue, but the cameras were positioned correctly. Aimed at getting faces and not tops of heads like many systems I have seen. I forgot to add the cameras on the shop also got two really good images of a couple of burglars that broke into a house up the end of the road. In fact we captured the whole thing only the house was too far away to get the number plates of the car.

?

I must have been lucky with mine then, three times Ive caught people who have "accidentally" damaged my car but not said anything. I caught the kids that tried to break into my shop, and I identified the kids that went around my village stealing from cars, because they came onto my driveway. The only thing I can say is in all those occasions the people committing the crimes had not planned the crime to begin with. I would say its lower than 90% overall but yes CCTV is quite easy to overcome if planned. Oh and those cheap safes are worth leaving around in plain sight with nothing in, twice now I have heard of customers who have had break ins and all they took was the safe that was empty. It would seem that once the burglar has found what he thinks is your valuables he gets out.

They were not aimed at anyone, topics often go off topic, nerds tend to chat

Thats right, it has been updated I had not realised

Or tell the insurance co its installed to BS4737

All depends on the risk of course, if you are known for dealing in used bank notes with random serial numbers you would need a proper alarm, if you only just have a pot to urinate in then the Yale bell box will do just fine. Anything in-between those two requires more or less kit. It never ceases to amaze me that people are must have the latest iphone regardless of cost but dont want to spend any money on protecting the contents of their home. The enquiries we get after the event, people have lost their irreplaceable jewellery left to them by their dear old granny, and their wide screen TV, and someone has left them a small brown package in the middle of there new lounge cream deep pile, for the sake of saving a few hundred £. I even had one customer that had to move because his missus refused to go back. The misery of a burglary versus the money it costs for a proper alarm, it just never makes sense to me.

You think we are as stupid as you are obviously

Really, I think your original post was a deliberate attempt to pose as a genuine customer, yet according to your website you sell very similar security and you are based in Australia. I think you have been caught out and now clutching at straws. This is a security forum, its run by professional security experts, we already know more about you than you do.

Eh pot kettle black. you started it with the bollox about how good Verisure is but your own email is linked to a website that has its own security company. This is a forum not a site for advertising your wears. But your little plan has backfired, anyone reading this topic will read it exactly as it is, and see straight through your recommendation and know exactly how Verisure operate. The irony is if you had come here and been honest you could have posted verisures details without any detriment

And the fact that your email address is linked to an Australian company that supplies security systems exactly the same as Verisure would be nothing to do with your recommendation?

I think you will find most professional companies offer everything Verisure can and more, and for a national company they have no accreditation, which in this day and age its the equivalent putting your money with Northern Rock

20p a day sounds reasonable to me

Your not going to save much on £72 per annum?

Swerve solar powered, and for that matter anything in B&Q, they do have a wide range of goods some good and some rubbish but most of the electronic security they sell can be found on ebay for half the price (not that I would suggest you buy your security from ebay either. ) There are wireless systems that have bellboxes that just require power, so the wire only needs to be run to the nearest power source and not all the way back to the control panel. I am not sure which brands do this as I do not sell many of the smaller systems so I am less familiar, but I am sure someone will here know.
