Some manufacturers have an output option of "Zone Mimic" which you then just select the zone you want to mimic. Job done. I'd imagine you'd have to use Links on a Gal, I'd be surprised if there isn't an example for something like that in the manual...

I don't play with Galaxy much but you just want Zone Mimic outputs?

Clickbait article with little substance IMO. Yes, it questions something we believe to be true I suppose based around the pigeonhole theory, but it's down to how may holes (datapoints) and how many pigeons (people). Article changes topic into people unlocking each others iPhones as "evidence". As I'm sure you've seen in the field the issue with biometrics is that the more processing of datapoints the more processing power or time it would take to make a decision. Also user issues with false positives or negatives based around us being squishy humans with skin changes during the period of a day, so it's using a relatively low amount of datapoints on devices like that. Forensics these are processed differently from what an AI would be doing. IMO AI should be seen as a powerful tool but only to assist with actions that are to be reviewed by a time served human in all cases.

So what happened 6 years later? Hopefully, a stand alone fire system and not what the topic says...

I wouldn't be messing about arguing with a customer and looking at a website at the side of the motorway. If already paid I'm doing it or not and then GTFOASAP. Agreed, complete idiot of a customer and the terms seem fine considering your paying for the convenience of call out with equipment and danger of working in live traffic. Altho TBF tyre is cheap Chinese thing replacing a Bridgestone, but he's right they are a stupid size and like a rubber band so probably an arse to fit. Does it matter to get you home and off the motorway... the longer your on the shoulder more chance a HGV wipes you out...

You on about Mr Dingers on insta? Most stuff over here seems to disappear, most likely into bits in a container to somewhere... Youth joyriding is more bikes of all types and powertrains.

Still huge pieces of the puzzle missing... is the system wireless? is this an entry route? how much CCTV footage did you see? If wearing a thick parker would avoid detection then the devices wouldn't be FFP, as it would become a common attack. Thermal cloaking is in the realm of military tech, not your average burglar looking for till cash. A confirmed system I would be wanting overlapping DT's in confirmed areas.

You've not really expanded on the questions in the thread. As above I'd be checking efficacy and looking at what was quoted on the spec. If they are just PIR's then I would would be thinking poor system design for the risk on policed. More likely to have checked the coverage in the days prior and avoided detection than any sort of blocking.

Also who called the Police...?

So the alarm FTA for the break in?

The cabs are similar and got refreshed while on the original version. The date sticker has been removed... sus. I assume the green sticker says 8.xx ? One Network with OP 4/5 = 88 What label?

It's a Premier 88, not Elite. https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/intruder-alarm-c-36/security-control-panels-c-36_102/control-panels-all-c-36_102_41/texecom-premier-elite-88-control-panel-p-369.html Don't buy junk from ebay...

They are usually panhead self tappers, if I were to guess a size 6ga 1/2" ? The lid screw presses against a tamper lever which must be closed for the system to clear. Even if you put it back together correctly, it's also possible the system requires an engineer reset due to the tamper fault; even tho it maybe out of contract with ADT.

We do not provide defaulting or manuals here as per our guidelines. It's possible it's decommissioned for a reason, they aren't designed to be just switched off and on from the fuse and just work. Best to have an installer recommission it, but expect them to recommend an upgrade.

No!!

I think the point is you can get bad copies of anything on Amazon, Ebay or the like. They need to be disposable reputable batteries to be confident it's a device issue.

Are they disposable batteries? I have had Scantronic contacts flatten batteries in 9-10 months regularly but never as little as 6.

Well defaulting the panel will mean you need to reprogram everything from scratch so I'd start there... Maybe concentrate on removing what you did and getting it working again if your not sure? Wired incorrectly is likely for Zone 9 but you don't say what they are wired into.

I mention this to customers they rarely remember until they call to say it's not working... It's the same for any equipment that serves your services to the internet. CCTV is another example. Just copying the SSID and Password doesn't always work for all equipment, the cipher type maybe different on the new router so you can have issues. Best to remove the device and reinstall.

You don't mention much about the system, I'm assuming it's a Texecom Elite with a Smartcom and that it's connected with Wifi. If so and you have replaced the router as per what the ISP have said then yes it's very likely a new router will require the Smartcom reconfiguring. If the system was setup with wired Ethernet it should remove this issue. Sounds like you also need a new installer if unreliable, the app is tied to the installer they are not end user serviceable. Although suddenly and 6 months in the same sentence seems odd...

There isn't one, C&K is long obsolete. Panel and keypad required.

What happened before it started sounding? Data cable or something on the network is likely damaged causing the keypad to lock out. Would need investigating further, there is no magic off switch.

Maybe consider the spec, I know it seems easy to throw stuff where it is now. As much as you may wish to DIY, correct placement and design could see significant savings with better and more usable footage.

It will only record in analogue resolutions even if converted, not recommended. Some machines are "hybrid" so you map IP's to the channels, this usually requires PoE elsewhere and detecting cams from the WAN. Just replace the lot with new Samsung. Seems a shame to get rid of a decent DVR but if 960H isn't good enough now (new cams?), you need to start again.

Not much you can do as an end user if you don't know the code. Removing the mains should have made it run on batteries and then trigger the outside siren if it's completely dead. If not of that happened then something is broken. Alarms need servicing regularly this may not have been done and other things maybe faulty. Either leave it powered down or call an alarm company/engineer to service and reset everything.
