  1. Follow the manufacturers instructions and choose the best position with that as a guide. Post 2 was generic so advise would be the same upstairs.
  2. If red is radiators then SW would not be facing windows from your diagram. However, I did say that the plan doesn't help. They cover 90 degree so it can be a waste in flat.
  3. Facing away but across any windows would be best. Both to reduce the chance of sunlight issues and cover the potential break in points better. Adjacent a radiator could be an issue whereas facing one on a wall opposite would be less so. You could also fit DT's instead if there are concerns with FA's The plan doesn't give the full picture but SW corners?
  4. Your looking at kit that the installers you have quotes from may have never fitted. If you are really unsure from what we have said so far, the only other things I can think of is:- Mesh, Texecom is Mesh based this maybe a good thing or it maybe a not so good thing. Generally you need more devices to increase signal security, with the idea that devices talk to each other not just to the controls. In a normal house the mesh will make little difference either should work fine. Range of devices, I know that Texecom has a large range of kit from Outdoor PIR's, DT's, Smokes, PA's .... As for others I don't know them well enough to comment on there range of kit.
  5. The usual advice is get at least three quotes from approved companies. Choose the one you feel comfortable with and suits your needs, not necessarily the cheapest. Have you also compared warranty periods, maintenance procedures and service costs?
  6. 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.
  7. Would only use pet sensors as a last resort, best to install perimeter protection in those areas. Bosch ones seem to work well.
  8. 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.
  9. Something is programmed incorrectly. This shouldn't happen. Call a local installer?
  10. You can't that would defeat the object of the alarm.
  11. 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.
  12. http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&docid=160561&pageIndex=0&doclang=EN&mode=req&dir=&occ=first∂=1&cid=17282
  13. I think you will find there are outstanding changes as of December last year. ICO have updated there website to reflect these changes.
  14. That is not how the ICO interpret it, since the exemption changes last year.
  15. Time to start selling iD biscuits for £50 each then.
  16. Most guns have a power lever to adjust depth.
  17. 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.
