The Vanderbilt rep got back to me, he say these guys are in your area, checking their website I cant see that the are NSI or SSAIB though. http://www.vidionics.co.uk/

You are welcome

The installation is not the problem, its the fact that Reading is too far away for us to be able to provide the quality of service that you would expect. If there is a fault or problem with your system we would struggle to give a same day service, an out of hours call-out would be a real pita for the engineer on-call. Although we can log in to it remotely and program bits, it still doesnt resolve all hardware faults that may go wrong. I would much rather turn away work, than take on someone we cannot look after properly.

I have just emailed him

If you want a really nice keypad you could glue an ipad to your wall and connect it to a Risco panel via the app LOL I shall call him in the morning

Reading is a bit far for us otherwise I would send one of our chaps up to quote. I can ask the Vanderbilt rep who your nearest installer is if you would like.

I didnt mean to do that, I was just saying that the Risco panel is okay. The Seimens would normally be £100/£200 more than what we would charge for a budget system. We normally use these panels on commercial and very large domestics. They are very good quality panels though solidly built. Medium to large domestics we use the HKC again more expensive compared to Risco (Around £100) but better quality.

If you get an installer that knows Risco well, the Risco panel will be fine. Risco is our budget system, and to be fair they did go downhill for some time, and the programming can be unnecessarily complicated if you are not familiar with programing them, but touch wood I havent had any problems with a Risco panel for the last 9 months and the app is one of the best. Our premium systems are HKC and Vanderbuilt (Siemens) and like for the like the Risco app is as good if not better in some ways. The only thing I would say is that the keypad is a bit cheap looking on the Agility.

Crap detectors crap bell crap panel for £150.00 I pay that just for a panel! Mind you I dont have to keep going back to stuff under warranty

Add detection, bell, cable, internal sounder, battery, and VAT and you still wont have much change from £500 though.

I was told that Hik made an offer on Paxton but it was turned down, they are in the market for a UK access Control Co

I wasnt talking to you

We can delete your account but I cant think of a good reason as to why you would be worried if we do or dont. You are completely anonymous so nobody knows who you are or where your from. Unless.....you are an employee of Swann and hoped posting here would be a free advert but its back fired. It is well known that products made for the DIY market is generally not as good as the stuff the professionals use. That said I cannot imagine why anyone would entrust their security to a DIY product. If you have something you feel is worth protecting (You obviously do otherwise why are you bothering) so why choose to cut corners? If I am buying something that I have no prior knowledge of, I at least research before I buy.

Your talking about car alarms, Moss were okay car alarms

LOL

You have just gone down in my estimation Steve

You couldnt rely on them to prop a door, let alone secure your property Compared to the Omicron it was probably worse

Hi and welcome Sorry but I doubt that anyone on here has done anything with the swann rubbish apart from rip it out. from what I have seen of the junk you may as well have posted £200 down the nearest drain.

Maybe best I sell up now then

Well hello sailor! Lets see your "huge " collection then

I got bored on the first para tbh. Why do you say in two sentences or less exactly what you want to achieve then we can tell you you need

Apply for trade Ron its full of people that dont know much......as far as I can see anyway

No never heard of Terry, I do know a fair few people locally in the industry, but I reckon theres a few hundred I dont know.

I helped him with one. I own Wakefield Security
