  1. Not really, the best tool for a survey is the one provided by the manufacturer themselves, although not sure how many do any more other than scanny. Suppose at worst you could do no more than place a panel demo case (Enforcer for example) vaguely in the final location at the property and take a TX to the furthest point, etc... The explorer IMHO is only of use for troubleshooting after a recurring but intermittent or persistent RF error or alert.
  2. If it's a 3 wire, why not? No different to using it to connect a 500w floodlight. Whether its done properly is another matter obv.
  3. If its the only place, I wouldnt worry too much
  4. Still better than an airing cupboard though...
  5. Well, Clik is a local co but not convinced its truely 'there'for fire and security use.
  6. I do. That's from Crimestoppers.
  7. You'll be fine with the right primer and enough sanding... Last time I went to an open day they were actively encouraging spraying their stuff, although that might have been one specific model...
  8. As above, cheapest quote = crappy cables thrown in - guaranteed. And crappy kit too.
  9. I think the square Scanny keypads with flap were the best ever design of any company - they did win a (non security industry) award for them to be fair.
  10. Binned an iWise pet a while ago, absolute junk. 18 months on and not a single known pet FA from Siemens e-line
  11. Ah right, specifically as it's overloaded with a reasonably complex set of commands to execute?
  12. Give yourself a Quality Street from the tin
  13. Would you be happy using an 18+ year old fridge, microwave, computer, toaster, etc...? Would you keep a car for 18 years having never serviced it once? Is your central heating boiler 20 years old? I would say yes the battery is long dead, your neighbours must love you for that, but I would suggest a newer system for the most expensive asset you own.
  14. If you are able to convince yourself you will get 'peace of mind' at £200, I genuinely, and this is no joke, would not actually bother with any of the rubbish you'll get at that price point and spend £10 on a dummy bellbox. It will be just as effective at stopping a determined intruder as it is at warding off a casual one. But better yet it will never false alarm, never require servicing, batteries, or the hastle of telling friends and neighbours how to operate it.
  15. Quick question Tony - roughly what is your house worth - forget the contents, just the house?
