I would think less about the kit and more about the installer. I would go Texecom but only because that is preferred kit that I know very well. Different installers will use different kit that suits there company and they are trained and experienced on.

Inspectors make there own rules up...

Would only use pet sensors as a last resort, best to install perimeter protection in those areas. Bosch ones seem to work well.

Eh? Anyway glad your sorted.

Assuming they're wired devices, it still sounds like a programming issue. It should work OTB, maybe if you can't find the attribute that's been changed start a fresh. I would also start to consider if the detectors are in the best location.

Something is programmed incorrectly. This shouldn't happen. Call a local installer?

You can't that would defeat the object of the alarm.

I agree, this is a case that the ICO have been watching closely. They are currently working with the MoJ on how this is to effect UK law, but no update has been given AFAIK.

I think you will find there are outstanding changes as of December last year. ICO have updated there website to reflect these changes.

That is not how the ICO interpret it, since the exemption changes last year.

Mains could have surged when they put the power back on.

Time to start selling iD biscuits for £50 each then.

Do you not have a WP to test?

Most guns have a power lever to adjust depth.

Yeah there's Lead Carbon, Sealed Gel but also LiFePo batteries are getting popular for mobility stuff and available in 7Ah I believe. But again is it worth the cost, really the system needs checking yearly anyway.

Lol, bit tricky to get the right voltage. You can get other types like gel and lithium but are they really worth the extra?

Removing the hold-off for a minute or so is enough to check the battery. If the sound dips or has a low output it's likely it's near to failure. They are Nicd so last longer than the lead acid type batteries in the panel. Depending on the box you can't disable the sounder triggering. It will have at least one fixing screw you can't have something like that in the elements only clip on.

CIE Fault is basically the control panel "crashing" and will require a power cycle to clear normally. You will also notice the time resets as well. With faults like this it is best to isolate one thing at a time to diagnose the issue. Personally I would start by ruling out if it is the comms that is causing the issue in the first place. FWIW all the CIE faults I have had in the past have been mains related, mains spikes, prepay meters/MCBs tripping out, noisy equipment on same CU. Does the timing of the issue relate to any changes or new equipment?

@OP Do bear in mind the Swann person you spoke to on the phone was part of there "sales team" so his initial interest is pushing his cheap DIY gear, not the Data Protection Act.
