  1. But surely bells customers don't particularly care about getting their installations by approved co's either?
  2. I'd actually they want smartphone more than IP signalling, but Enforcer can take a Webway Nano, as can Texe, so it's way behind the curve. Just fitting an iOn 40 today which will go straight onto Webway.
  3. 16 is a dinosaur, you can't update it and you can't add IP type signalling unlike every other model. Amazed it hasn't been replaced by an 'ion 20' with the same serial port as the rest and a couple of wired zones Before anyone says 'and 2 way wireless', agreed, but the stupid thing is, it's been 2 way capable since launch. The fools just haven't released any non-control type 2-way devices for it other than (recently) a smoke alarm.
  4. Depends - if you've had a few power cuts (or more likely, power turned off all day for building work etc...) then the battery will last nowhere near as long if completely discharged.
  5. Yes, it's a bit like these companies that offer fullbody CT scans with no preexisting symptoms. Who's to say you won't see the same interference on another site that never has and never will have issues?
  6. I would have thought quality gear would have been OK - the wireless chip scanny uses was developed intially by a division of GEC-Marconi (their Essex based EEV division) which did a lot of commercial spin offs from defence work, was possibly over specced and/or benefited from the input of the sort of scientific genius probably far more than is needed for the average 'consumer' product. Texecom is a lot newer so no doubt designed with 4G in mind from the start, whoever the RF chipset provider. However, perhaps Honeywell gear, although I'd have thought it decent, has it's RF origins in a US product that just happens not to be going down so well with 4G? Risco, I have no idea. That's all totally off the top of my head. Chinky stuff will undoubtedly suffer the most, even if the RF IC sections are blatent clones of EU designed chipsets. of vague interest - http://rsgb.org/main/files/2012/11/EMC02-final.pdf
  7. Certainly it's got TV suppliers paranoid enough to filter and modify a lot of their gear...
  8. Unfortunately, paypal, ebay, do indeed refund the minute evidence of sending any type of tracked package is given. I have even had someone 'return' something using the entered royal mail code 'Fukoffebay'. They of course got a full instant refund, although I did eventually get it reversed after a LOT of shouting...
  9. If you are going to commit fraud, always a good tip not to plan it out loud on a public forum, don't we think?
  10. Does anyone remember those ludicrously biassed 'cost of two wire vs conventional systems' comparisons in trade mags where they used to quote 'EOL units' at £150 each for the conventional price?
  11. If you want to keep your neighbours as friends, I would call an out of hours pro now. The battery is faulty, almost certainly dead after all these years. If you find the main control box, and disable it, then it's possible the external siren will then start to sound for up to 20 minutes. Smashing it up, or disabling the keypad, will not help I'm afraid.
  12. I had a funny dealing, on the 'M' also that 'lid tamper' inc case and modules was always an eng reset event? Whilst of course you could set zone tamper to user... Not sure if that's right but had a play with an M600 last week prior to scrapping.
  13. There, you answered your own question Nope, not a panel that's well liked - (except by norms BiL and whistles parents)
  14. Hi there, welcome! Have moved your post to a new topic
  15. Better take it up with the ICO then - it's very clearly laid out on the 'domestic CCTV' section of their website.
  16. Any time public space is included, even if it is a small overlap i.e pavement in front of garden, the domestic total exemption no longer applies.
  17. It will very soon, although have admitted enforcement will be few and far between at this stage.
  18. Always the sign of a rush job isn't it, bracketed PIRs sat in the middle of the ceiling. Used my 2nd one ever last month, moving an existing IR120.
