  1. If you just want a deterrent - buy a blank box from ebay, preferably 2nd hand with a real name on. Or buy a £99 Yale kit and sell the rest other than the bellbox. My advice really is that simple, as there is no point having to maintain, install and support essentially a rubbish system. The cheap, nasty Chinese stuff is exactly as you say. I wouldn't trust it to guard a cat. And as you say if someone still wants to break in, they will. That's my honest, genuine advice.
  2. Hi there, I deleted your duplicate thread btw - please only start a topic in one forum. Anyway, we've got whippets and I know Italian ones are usually really tiny. I have just done a job using Siemens e-Line with 6 cats, and all seems well so far. If it wasn't policed I'd say give it a cautious try... And if the dogs are like most sighthounds and the owner is like most whippet owners, it's not usually possible or desireable to confine them to small space.
  3. Yes, it's very variable how sockets are powered up, both car and van are on ignition, but my Defender (2010 reg) was live all the time.
  4. Aren't there various oddball rolling / non rolling code versions of the 727 - that are not obvious without careful inspection? Perhaps 16 had a newer firmware / RF chipset?
  5. As above, modules from fleebay are actually quite well made too, and the arduino craze only makes it better pricing and quality. Just bought 3 mic modules I would have made myself in the past for pennies, and they use proper branded preamp ICs
  6. Yep used to have a home tank, the lot. Stopped using it when I moved, sold it to a radio ham and not really felt the need since
  7. As I said before Tracker just use a single diode on a 7ah, thats the sole component.
  8. Get paid? Slightly better effort than my smelly alarm joke How come they went to a security Co rather than broadcast? Oh yeah, cost?!
  9. Our factory fitted caravan Tracker has a boggo standard 7ah yuasa 'charged' via a massive diode from the caravans nominal 14.4v supply. It goes into storage twice a year with no mains and main battery isolated, for 3 and 5 months at a time. Tracker still works 3 years on (lifetime sub), will check 7ah battery when I remember to take the tester...
  10. I'm guessing it does support multiple keypads? Just reminded of a lot of the more basic Menvier stuff, sold well into the early 90's, where it was one only.
  11. Used to use these when we did a lot of Cat5 stuff for someone I worked for. Horrible things IMHO.
  12. Once local round here always does bells in 4 core. Must save at least 4p a job.
  13. Hold up, DO NOT do this >>> Strobe + - ASSUME connect locally to Supply + (12V) Connect NOTHING to Strobe + It doesn't need anything. Also is there more than one Micro S terminal??
  14. When the original cable got chewed, it could have forced 12V down signal lines etc... before the fuse blew. So they could all be shot.
  15. Ah, I think in my UK days I never managed to push the prox much
  16. Yup it was xxxx then it changed to xxxx and finally xxxx and welcome!
  17. Tamp out - TR Tamp In - connect locally to Supply - (0V) Micro /S - god knows Supply - - 0V Supply +- 12V Trigger - BELL Strobe + - ASSUME connect locally to Supply + (12V) Strobe - - STR Please note I don't know the Flashguard at all, but the terminology seems pretty normal, except for the Micro /S?
  18. Its always been that way without an EE trigger. Can't be changed.
  19. Using the exact same on a barrier system, what happens in test mode testing everything individually? Youve not set eol on Rex by mistake?
  20. I've fitted a few DTs as EE recently, not getting lazy just made sense. Might be the way forward?? Either that or Grade 3 on EE door mandatory.
  21. At least Paxton relays are free Although I notice t**ts are putting them on ebay, nice one, they'll just stop giving them out.
  22. Shame Paxton don't have a 'hold' or 'wait' wire like HID
