    On the takeover, or bacon sw on the first day It's proper rare, some sell laminated as it but real bullet proof is huge. I did a gkn contract where they made it for hummer windows must of been 75mm thick a weight was as expected. In a shop window I'd say unlikely. But I was wrong once etc

    But not behind a 'bulletproof" window with risco detectors done as a diy job Sounds like a setup for a film. No one tries diy on high value goods surely? Remind me risco do the cheapest stuff or the best stuff?

    We should do a simplisafe vs verisure review

    Is that someone who thought dummy CCTV is like a grade 4 alarm system? But at that angle unless it's near an airport I'd wonder what it's looking at

    Sorry we don't give instructions for burglars to disable alarms on a public forum. It isn't as simple as removing a fuse for obvious reasons

    Glass break detectors don't usually work on bulletproof glass is it actually bulletproof? Grade 4 signalling is available but grade 4 detection isn't. What are the insurance requirements? I'd suggest shock detectors would be better and quicker than glass break assuming suitable ie not a main road. Also if you have installed it check chubb will do the failure to perform cover.

    Popular cloud account then with nothing in it?
  9. james.wilson
    Also what's the risk you are protecting. You mention grade 3 but it looks like it's DIY or are you the installer?

    How are the break glass fitted?

    Not knowing the application 'if' I just wanted to monitor an output oscillating I'd either use 2 trans relays with timers or esp32's However if I was life I wouldn't I'd want an output from the device because if I modified it and something happened I dont think I like prison

    Double knock doesn't comply. Windows tend to only break once too. You might be better with window foil. I hate glass break sensors generally but I'd suggest a different glass break detector assuming you have it sited correctly.

    An option but not the same as polled dual path signalling. I know selfmon does this just dont want it to look like signal availability is the same as use able path
  14. james.wilson
    Agreed does it not have an output. What is the device you are trying to monitor?
  15. james.wilson
    Is this a security warehouse complaint? I have scanned the post mind
  16. james.wilson
    Sounds like a comms issue between panel and keypad. If you wire the keypad locally does it do the same?
  17. james.wilson
    Call the service provider?
  18. james.wilson
    the tamper is probably global, not just the tamper spring on the panel. One of them will be open circuit either the sab you have replaced or the tamper input
  19. james.wilson
    Also have you entered the code when powering it up?
  20. james.wilson
    Agreed who told you that?

    I use ha but if I wasnt an alarm pro it would be way down on the list. Look at the forums present is more important than authorised present.
  22. james.wilson
    The ha thing is impressive we all want that it's the only thing that knows when we are out I bed or in

    There is a huge security issue of letting anything control an alarm. Think insurance liability in our world. However it should be doable having a pro system with integration. It is doable but needs more imo. However the standards currently prevent it. Some integrations require engineer access between which is daft. I would watch this space I'm working with a manufacturer with this in mind
  24. james.wilson
    You need a hi lo sounder for that I see the benefit of connecting the to home assistant or mqtt etc but use a proper panel that can do that rather than bolt on a bodge
  25. james.wilson
    yes most panels have a speaker output for alert, setting unsetting, chime tones etc. Some panels this is a switched output like a bell on others its a speaker output usually for a 16 Ohm load
