There are plenty of landlords that have a system for when the property has no tenant and wouldn't include it in the lease. I agree with above regarding getting written permission if you want to go that route, but expect to take on the responsibility of it including having it serviced annually, any repairs and faults etc.

You shouldn't play with it, get your landlord to sort it out.

PoE standard is 15w per port for PoE and 25w per port for PoE+ (Type 2)

Yes it is

You'd need an external power supply and use the EOL zone and output bit like a Powermax, been a while since I worked on one tho. They don't take the expander module from the 30, just a relay board.

Upto you on the aesthetics really, clips look terrible on render like that. Personally I'd be thinking white 20mm conduit female ends straight into vandal resistant domes. Drill through the corner for the back one. This is all if you can't do it from inside of course. I imagine if someone did it on cost, cable ties down the drain pipe lash it across the flat roof but you did say you came here for professional advice.

Larger PoE Devices maybe PoE+ aka Type 2 (25W) this means you may need an injector depending on your switch or NVR.

Most drives recommended operation temperature is 5 - 50 C, however the hotter they are the more likely you will get a failure. I wouldn't put anything like this in a loft you have the temperature changes but also dirt and dust being sucked into the machine. They are a server treat them like one.

External grade cable probably in some containment like tube if low level would be good practice if you need to run externally. Would normally try to keep the cables internal where possible, rarely needs "loads of holes" if your a pro and know what your doing. I don't see where you mention having the NVR in the loft but I do agree for the reasons above. These vague questions are tricky to answer really without seeing the job.

Usual protocol would be like any distribution system, numbered references for ports and/or cables and then a separate schedule. For security reasons this separate paper/spreadsheet schedule would only be available for the people that need it.

Ah, that's possibly the default now then. Wouldn't think it's that just make sure Guard Attribute isn't on. Yes, they filter DIY into another queue but you should get through to someone. Your unlikely to need the lead again so it's up to you if you want to bother. Option A is the simplest route, depends if it's critical to have the entrance area as instant alarm on full set, or if waiting for the timer to end is fine. If the Entry timer 2 can be kept short then it's probably not an issue.

You shouldn't need the Entry/Exit 2 Attribute on that zone as Guard Access. The report is that Guard Access would not function at all after you part set several times but would work correctly again after the next full arm. If it is definitely the issue your options are:- a) Do not use Guard Access Zone Type and use the Entry/Exit 1 or 2 Zone Type. Using E/E 2 only has the benefit of selecting a different entry/exit time to the full set. b) Purchase the kit required to update the firmware (flashing lead), contacting Texecom seeing if you can get a copy of the latest firmware to you and flashing it and hopefully not messing it up. c) Get someone in the know to do Option B d) Purchase and install a Smartcom which has the option to firmware upgrade via the app now I believe. e) See if where you sourced the kit from will help

Attributes for each Zone I would expect only (Omittable and Access to be on) Version number should be on a sticker on the main processor. Or menu and 4 together You "may" have run into a software bug if you are on version 5.01.02, this was patched in 5.02

Is it an intermittent issue? Do you have any other attributes enabled? Are you running firmware V5.01.02?

You are manually omitting those circuits that's how it should work, omits are temporary. Permanent changes are done with programming or wiring them out.

Do the buttons not function at all (no beep) when you press them? Or is it just the wrong code.

The posts above cover everything. It's a TS series Menvier. Could be either a 590 690 700 790, either way...

Sounds right to me

You are relying on your employees but you wouldn't have taken them on in the first place if you didn't have some trust in them. Your going to struggle to stop people keeping there own lists but this is only the same as having individual passwords for every website login which is recommend. Having the "app" on your company website behind an engineer login portal is another option.

Unlikely to be possible if the bell is in full working order.

That's the idea. The seed wouldn't be known and if the engineer left the company they wouldn't have access to it.

The way I understand it, audio must specifically be required for the original crime prevention purpose you need at design stage. Saying that you have realised audio is enabled means there was no requirement to have audio so therefore should be disabled. The quote above covers it word for word. Maybe in the grand scheme of things no-one notices or cares for years, but when an event happens and evidence is released that will be when it all boils over, with a good chance the local authority may enforce complete removal. Leaving you with no system.

Any panel can be put in wrong, different areas seem to have there own sparky panel of choice. Kit options as in the panel is modular by design with an array of module options for every problem. The aesthetics of all the kit is far superior too. Some of the things I remember are lack of:- wiring types, custom outputs, output types, users, log events and on the bigger panels Areas and Zones which is a niche use case but I have fitted 640's in the past.

Didn't rate any of the HKC stuff I am sure it's functional but to me it's not a flexible both on kit options and programming to the Premier. I did a HKC course a few years back and fitted a couple software is nothing to rave about IMO. I have less and less care for GUI in software like this as time goes on, give me a panel I can program from a terminal I'd be happy. I would prefer browser based just from a open perspective not seen Eaton yet, I know the Texe software will work without Windows with the correct lead so no need to jump anywhere if this continues.

Sure I have said this before but there are two things with the Texecom menu structure that I think confuses people. *The first is there are multiple ways to do the same thing or reach the same menu *The menu structure has been consistent since pre EN, so many more features have been put into there respective menus they could be confusing to find. IMO both of these things only affects the casual users, it's completely logical for someone that fits them regularly. For example all the main menu options on the Premier do have a numbered shortcut and these have also been kept consistent over the years as above, you don't have to scroll around if you know these. I rarely break out the laptop to program them, can program most of them quicker then I could boot a laptop up with Wintex.
