Travelling time and hotel?

Sounds like detector fault indication to me.

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.

Wouldn't ever use a Sound Bomb. Extension speaker. Oh and when asked what panel, we mean manufacturer and model...

Yes. Terms vary between manufactures. Quick key... Zone = An alarm detection circuit Area = A group of Zones, can be armed as if they were a separate system. (E.G 'The House', 'The Garage', 'The Shed') Part Set = A way of quickly omitting zones within an Area before arming. (E.G omitting upstairs zones of 'The House' Area)

Exactly. You will need a couple of inch clearance on the top.

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.

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.
