Hi you will need to make 5 posts before the PM system will open. Feel free to browse the forums and contribute to the site.

I don't believe Scantronic will support multiple shunt resistors. So maybe two zones or different controls?

Faulty Battery?

Generator for temporary mains supply seems sensible?

Not any more, there was a thread a few months back about it. The domestic exemption only covers your property now.

Call the installer?

Welcome back. 1) Maybe consider the rear left corner instead? (position as if facing the front door) The sensor will be of no use if hiding behind a curtain. 2) Are you considering a keypad upstairs to arm the system at night? If not the sensor will need to be a walk-through zone anyway, could be front right adjacent the door but opposite the keypad. However, if you arm it upstairs another option is make the hall full alarm and leave as post 5.

Shouldn't matter about DDNS on these.

As a rule:- Best Quality possible. Limit the frame rate for your duration. Anything over 12fps is pointless IMO. The guide I use is 1-5fps scheduled and 6-12fps motion/alarm (if available), depending on storage time. Better to have 2 weeks of quality footage than 4 months of useless high fps rubbish.

Yes all buildings, but if you read all the regulations there are a few situations they could be used.

These require good knowledge of IT and Premier Panels to setup. Sounds like you have the panel or ComWifi incorrectly programmed. Best I can offer is start again and follow the manual for the ComWifi word for word, reading several times before starting. External Dynamic or Fixed IP will not matter if setup correctly.

Why not?

Audio causes issues with privacy and should be avoided. They need to be clear of the purpose of the audio recording, needs to be a justified reason.

To each there own, I can't stand Galaxy. You will find every installer/company has there favourite products that suit their setup.

Well the controls could be moved if it's a wireless system, it depends if every devices is wireless. Should be more to an alarm than sensors. Wireless phone extension will not work for a number of reasons, wouldn't even bother. Let us know how it goes with your ADT rep.

Well I wouldn't choose either of the three options. If there is no hope of cabling the line I would ask if they have a GPRS/GSM monitoring solution suitable for your system. Failing that you are only left with option 3 or removing the signalling.

1) there is a volume control I think you probably haven't found the right one. 2) Yes 1, 2 or 3 3) Not sure what you mean there but yes probably. 4) You need to use part arm for lower exit tones, this is probably why you are having 1) in the first place. Configure in the Part Arm menu.

You shouldn't feel tied to ACE. If you own the panel a one off charge and you can switch. The engineers code is a simple way to provide some security to them and there customers but also importantly yourself. They need to know that only there engineers can program the system, to provide you with the best service possible. It's the same for most alarm companies if you switched.

Codes in general are low tech, but why reinvent the wheel? Anything better would have a higher price point.

You get what you pay for, there's much better kit out there, you just have to sell it. I believe only one of the LED's in the cluster flash.

A Strobe would flash quickly =>1Hz. I bet if you work out the cost of Visonic Batteries the separate flasher would pay for itself after a few years. Better to wire the bell if possible IMO.

Best to use the actual equipment to field test IMO.

So what about when you need to send a faulty panel back, your voiding any warranty when you start hacking at the piezo. There's expander modules and wireless sounders available look at them just add them to the bill. They're cheap wireless kits so I wouldn't expect them to have all the features of wired kit built in.
