  1. If it's disarmed it's likely to be a tamper fault, can you get the installer to come and check it over?
  2. These signs have reappeared again. Looks like there website is down as "business has gone from strength to strength, thanks to our great clients, and we are currently upgrading our website" Maybe passing off as NSI approved is profitable...
  3. It would depend on the alarm, wouldn't fit spiky as standard and wouldn't normally used screened cable either
  4. The state of some of the roads at the moment, you can loose a small car down some pot holes.
  5. HD is the name generally used for 720p, 1080p and also 1440p but could be used for anything >480p UHD is the name currently used for video better than HD, most common is 2160p referred to as 4K
  6. H264 is just video compression it has nothing to do with HD or not.
  7. It appears there are 1080p cameras available in CVI. I was informed CVI in it's design couldn't do more than 720p and was lossy, maybe this has changed. Still it's proprietary so your stuck with Dahua if you go that way. All the CCTV manufacturers claim there protocol is better, they all have pros and cons, (cost / transmission length / picture quality).
  8. It will depend on the DVR. From memory the Vectus will do D1/AHD/SDI on any channel.
  9. I would disagree, I would avoid CVI and use either TVI or SDI. I prefer SDI myself. Never had any issues with SDI on good coax, can have issues on CCA tho. Yes as my post above regarding quality, but it will depend on the camera. They only work with there compatible equipment, some can do multiple formats.
  10. I rate the Vectus G TBH, the new model is hybrid so you can replace the DVR now and then replace each camera as required later. As for the differences between HD over Coax:- HD-SDI is digital, others (AHD/CVI/TVI) are analogue. Only HD-TVI can offer up to 1080p of the analogue options. However, SDI being digital has a lower transmission distance compared to TVI. CVI is proprietary so I wouldn't recommend.
  11. Do you not have a log burner or pizza oven you can dispose of them a drawer at a time? Also remind me not to come round when you have your "bomb fire", Lol. As to where the shredding companies get rid, I imagine you buy your waste back in the morning when you get your paper.
  12. If you have a Texecom bell press Omit in the bell test menu.
  13. You are going to need to know:- What the alarm system is and if there is an output available for that. What the lighting is, how it is wired and how much load the lighting is. A simple mains relay may fail switching heavy loads.
  14. Random Attribute is the easiest way as explained above. Set Random System Timers to 1 sec and 2 sec then add the random attribute to your intruder.
  15. "Texecom Premier Elite" doesn't give a lot to go on, there are may different models. Is it wired, wireless or hybrid? Why was the system left half finished? Have you tried getting quotes from local installers that support Texecom?
  16. Issue with shocks is they can be triggered from outside the premises, so therefore cause false alarms. Issue with cats is they jump on furniture and false activate many "pet friendly" PIR's.
  17. Only TS700 keypads will work on a 700, they are getting rare. You could change your code if you want a bit more life out of it. Probably recommend a Prem if your looking to upgrade. Easy, if you know what you are doing?
  18. You can program it however you like if you know how. It's there a sensor to start the timer on the ground floor? Have you considered a part arm bell delay or an extra keypad in a better location?
  19. Yep I recall FSL as a Scantronic thing. There is only ever one EOL resistor anyway. When you think about it, DEOL and TEOL seems odd/inaccurate terminology.
  20. Different terminologies for different manufacturers.
