Not easily no. The Excel is a fairly basic panel so you cant program the outputs to do what you require.

I wouldn't rule out the panel being faulty if there was power to it.

I suppose the question is why did the fuse blow in the first place. Here's some links to get you started. http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/forum/240-northamptonshire-security-installers/ http://www.nsi.org.uk/directory/ http://ssaib.org/security-provider-search/

Sell it as Spares or repair?

I think I should give up the day job and start emptying the loft.

Suffolk! Your on your own there.

Only 2 hours left to bid... or dd will win it at 99p

If you mean UDL yes over dial capture so that means needing a digi on your panel of choice. Not looked at the Solo but would assume it's the same.

Not looking good I am afraid. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-30614090 Not the best time of year for people to be worrying about there jobs.

Hopefully, it's not coming via City Link... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2887074/

It is definitely set to PAL? Have you tried other channels on the DVR?

Yes

Anything FOSS describes everything you mention. Free, Good, Developed, Supported. Some parts that use Linux or FOSS parts like Ubuntu are funded in the background by companies like Canonical. However, many distros are keeping afloat on either donations and/or free hosting.

So you mean a smartphone application linked to the panel, like a remote ACE? TBH we have customers that are so lazy they want the alarm to know they are offsite or in bed and arm themselves. Then automagically disarm for them. I doubt speaking to the alarm is the overall solution. Still I doubt we will see the end of the keypad for some time yet.

Montex, I never thought of that. More like setting up your own ARC, I wouldn't call that private reporting personally. Interesting to hear about the push notifications, will this become the new IP speech dialler; time will tell. Do you know if it will require new hardware yet?

It doesn't currently do private reporting AFAIK.

This is the DIY Section after all. I just think it's worth pointing out it's not always the best option.

Removing the head has obviously disabled your CO protection which isn't the cleverest thing to do, no professional is going to recommend you do that. Also you have now disabled your alarm system arming as a 24 hour circuit should be active. If you press reset the alarm will also start sounding again. Overall the system should have been serviced regularly, then the replacement date would have been spotted before causing you an issue. If the system was serviced and under contact, an engineer would have been available to fix it there and then giving you piece of mind.

It is connected to a 24 hour circuit, so no you can't isolate it; purposely. Just because the boiler is "off" that doesn't stop you being poisoned BTW.

CO detector! Are you sure your detector isn't doing it's job?

4499 Christmas Day, 3am? Kids peeping out the window watching Santa cursing and smashing a C Type with a hammer.

A white one in the wild. There was also a GSM version in the same case, had a battery on top. No idea if any of them are about still, all swapped for something else here.

Swapping the controls would have been cheaper?

Same here with the Vantage VRD's
