Hi, welcome to TSI

Hi, welcome to TSI, however this is a UK forum so not sure how much you are usefully going to learn if you're US based. I have also moved your opening post as it was on the back of someone elses.

Meanwhile all the idiots fit plug 'blanks' because the fools think it makes the sockets safer. THINK OF THE CHILDREN! Only last week in a cafe I saw where a 'safety device' had been snapped off, leaving the L+N pins permanently open due to the plastic peg stuck in E... Nice one.

Scantronic no good for wireless at the moment, Visonic 1 way too, as above Texe would be fine.

Well, one slight difference is that factored parts often have the benefit that they are copies of what could have been a design that cost *someone else* thousands of pounds. With alarms however, it is a little different, with designs being exclusive to most manufacturers. As above, what you have is pretty low end, tbh.

Welcome to TSI, where such is the expertise that most members at least know the difference between PAL and STD.

Well, as long as it's not Jeff, then they get punched in the face... Yes, they did exactly this. The BSIA did a survey amongst recently released house burglars and published the results approx. late 80s early 90s. You could buy the report from them, or at least you could when I did around 2000 time. It wasn't cheap and you could choose the summary report or the full results including survey statistics etc... I paid for the cheap one and they either accidentally or intentionally sent the full 100+ page report, in a lovely retro 1980s faux-tan leather, gold embossed BSIA A4 folder. The basic upshot of the narrative part of the research was that burglars DID recognise many brands and had a good idea of when a alarm was DIY tat that was unlikely to work. However, I would hapilly accept that the days of the 'professional' burglar with faculties intact have pretty much sailed and todays are likely to be opportunist, drug addled smackheads / spice enthusiasts that wouldn't know an ADT from a Yale if it came round their house and lit up in neon. Have just checked the website and there seems to be a 'scorched earth' policy of anything published before 2014 https://www.bsia.co.uk/publications/publications-search-results.aspx?PID=1206&evl=0&CategoryID=51&CategoryName=BSIA-Publications

If it is set to PA, it precisely explains this.

Or perhaps, for a start, the contacts are rather incorrectly programmed as PA (PANIC) ZONE?

No new updates for about a year now, ours was published posthumously and has been nothing since. https://burglaralarmbritain.wordpress.com

No need to be sarcastic, I have on good authority his boxes use electric bells now, so no need for a miniaturised steam plant with every system anymore.

Pic is from Burglar Alarm Britain (I assume), worth a visit, also assumed you had.

He probably even makes YOU look cool H. No, seriously. You manage to dispose of the body without getting caught?

Bank loan territory. For slightly less mazoolas you can have Buck Rogers ACTUAL alarm Psu! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ELMDENE-230V-AC-24V-5A-SECURITY-ALARM-CONTROL-METAL-BOXED-POWER-SUPPLY-SYSTEM-/112355182498

No, really. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-STEEL-RINGER-MODERN-Security-LIVE-Alarm-Bell-Box-WITH-sTROBE-/172696493322

lol

Better than your previous offer of a £10 dome for £100 though.

I think it might actually have been *me* asking about it, at the time (10yrs + ago) I was considering Guardall (laughs...) They used to have a 'mini keypad' that only had 4 keys, a prox, and an LCD, I imagine you could enter a code 'car radio style' (up, down, enter) in an emergency but not do any progging without UDL.

So a texe panel wouldn't complain with nil RKPs then? Wow.

This is an old post and AFAIK the original poster has never been back. But surely any Texe panel needs at least one keypad, doesn't it?

Lol
