Buy cheap, Buy twice. With something like cable it's not going to be easy to replace.

I thought it would be something like that. Yes you won't stop stuff like that with just a firewall. I have always been happy with letting the router do all the firewall/management related tasks mentioned, I just keep it's FW upto date. Allso use ufw on each machine too. I have always found Clam a PITA, the last time I used it I remember it being very heavy on resources.

I have used macchanger before now. This is a CLI utility which you can add the flag --mac= followed by device eth0 As James says this kind of thing will only work until a reboot. You will need to add a script or change the configuration to keep it. Not well up on CentOS but Debian would be in /etc/network For issues like this, would it not be best to have the modem going via a router then to your server. Or do you have a reason for it being setup in this way?

Possibly, no copyright issues etc..

Yes, I don't see an issue, I assume they're just buying the modules.

Mr H, top pics a Belle PCB BTW. Bottom pic old Gardtec as you say.

24 Poly use keypad zones? You need to split or drop a contact from zone 1

Sorry, I should clarify. You need to be registered with the ICO to conform to the DPA, if your storing images outside your domestic premises.

CQR Pro.

I agree here maybe you should reconsider your protection requirements. You should keep one zone to one device. Bigger panels will be professional kit only so you may get limited support/manuals on pro kit. I imagine the current system if a basic Texecom Veritas will not have EOL resistors so you can choose whichever system you prefer that supports DP.

Will be in trade anyway? http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/forum-trade-access.html

DPA domestic exemption rules have changed, you need to be registered with the DPA to store any images not on your property.

Obviously a RA would be done to assess the protection required but this will be balanced against cost. That is if you are talking about professionally installed systems. There not an intruder until they enter the premises. Possibly, however there are chances of external incidents causing false alarms. Bird strikes, window cleaners, post(wo)men, pets jumping at doors/windows, all this and more would need to be assessed in the RA. Any detection of this type would need to be setup correctly as well this takes time, so therefore perimeter protection would be a lot more costly too. Again, all down to risk and the customer. The layout of the property is also something to consider. This would be a popular option on a low risk property. Much better to have the downstairs armed than the customer feel "trapped" and not used the system at night. Probably, again this would need an RA to determine. With having animals you would have to install perimeter protection in some parts of the property anyway. Ideally, I would install perimeter protection in addition to PIR's. If they get in somehow they could move around freely if you have not sensors in the rooms. Another thing to consider is monitored systems, they will need two detector types in an area to trigger the police. Therefore, perimeter protection only would be useless in this instance.

TAP messaging isn't to be relied upon for signalling.

One Way => The detection device blasts it's message out several times and hopes it is received by the panel. Two Way => The detection device and the control panel can communicate and receive messages in both directions, acknowledging them.

Passengers always complain about my passengers footwell. I just say that's where the **** goes, they soon stop complaining.

That's like my van without the dead Optima and C type bellbox in the footwell...

That's what I said. I would say QXSX is on the right lines, but again you need to be careful when copying configuration over between different versions. Download and save a copy, then connect and change version. Wintex changes how the data is stored on the panels memory in the backend.

Hi This is a UK based forum so it is unlikely anyone will have knowledge of that system. Your more than welcome to ask any questions.

I am confused how it is a new Elite but from 2002? Are you upgrading a Pre-Elite to an Elite? You have to be careful if you are moving the programming between different firmware/panel versions.

Maybe you'd like to expand on that...?

Stick around and you'll be plumbing and welding like a pro.

Possibly but think about the labour saving of using existing infra. I don't understand what you mean about a third core tho?
