Very Much Reality...
james.wilson commented on Joe Harris's blog entry in Electronic Security & Technology
Gus mentioned using keypads for advertising many years ago on here. I think that many in the industry can use this and more to reduce initial cost to the end user. However i dont think currently its a starter. The problem with using a security based appliance as an advertising front end is the lack of time spent with it. IF we were to catch up and be at the forefront of automation, energy saving etc then the security system 'could' be the portal used to access this infomation. Unfortunatly the industry is still managed by the old school and do not understand there is any need for revolution. Joe, can you get your crowd back into the BSIA and get yourself on a committee or 2?- 4 comments

Electronic Attacks Vs Electronic Security
james.wilson commented on Joe Harris's blog entry in Electronic Security & Technology
J, Very interesting, and covers a lot more than your direct interest. Im assuming you think the final mile (ie the arc) is an easier attack point if its known than the individual site/system. To minimise the exposed footprint from send point to recieve point what would you suggest? Private circuits or VPN's. From the transmission point of view its easier to attack the fixed line (pstn) side than anything else but also the gsm side can be vulnerable. Id of thought that any high grade system based on regular polling would be immune to the reporting (not the attack) but if using an ATS 5 device if the device was attacked this would be shown in less than 3 minutes. However if the end that handles that reporting is attacked what would happen then? I assume a DOS style attack on an ARC would be more effective if it swamped it with false signals. The more i think about it the more it seems the arc is the most effective attack point? James -

If I recall the galaxy slate ones should be fine -
that could be useful. but id want it cover more than signalling how far does that go?

Axis do courses. You could look into that

As above I wouldn't put it on high and you need the jumpers set for double pole mode -
No as it coundnt work. I have seen specialist cameras that spin an outer some to repel water. But if its an issue you need a camera with a flat glass to use a wiper.

Personally I'd put a contact on the entry door. Then you can delay the dual tec only after door opening Disarming from a remote will need a high end panel which you really don't need As its diy I'd use Control panel honeywell optima compact Dualtech honeywell dt 7550 or 7450 Door contact knight or cqr grade 1 surface Sounder whatever you want -
Updated this to work with windows 7 and some other clean ups. Does not auto install .net now. So you need to ensure you have at least .net 2.0 installed from microsoft. Id assume pretty much everyone does now. Ive also unlocked the risk assesment options for those that are interested

Aritech Cd34 "call Alarm Company"
james.wilson replied to Sausage's topic in Control Panels (Public)
I dont know the panel, but you need to remove the engineer reset or remote reset attribute. However i would say its very good of any company to visit you for free to do this for you. -

Update on this. As breff stated due to its age this unit as tested is a G3 unit not a G3s unit. The G3s unit was launched in late 09 and this dualcom was installed in early 09. I have attached the old and new pdf's that show the original grade 3 unit reports dual path failure in 5 hours. The G3s states that it reports this within 1 hour. I have not tested this yet. As a note the grade 3 requirements are that a single path failure is reported within 5 hours and that both paths have failed within 25 hours. Obviously reporting a dualpath failure at 5 hours exceeds this. This unit reported that both paths had failed at 5 hours. Id assume that a G3s unit will report this at 1 hour. My own thoughts are that even 1 hour is too slow. I will update in other posts the same tests on redcare secure 3, webway grade 3 and 4 and I plan to do a grade 4 dualcom.

Ok i see what you mean now. But i dont agree its the reg writers. I think its a belief that all dual path systems at any grade are similar. Some have always known that. Some have just thought that g2 is cheaper and still dual path so that will do. re the polling issue etc. It can be done but the lower grades allow longer times before detection. IF you think back to pre en this wasnt regulated but there was only really redcare then which turned out to be a grade 4 signalling system. But redcare gsm is a lot more per year to run than say a G2 dualcom/redcare secure. BBut its the grade that is key here. ie we cant compare a G3 dualcom to a G4 redcare GSM. The redcare unit will obviously perform better but it also costs more. Horses for courses etc. I must admit mate i wasnt fully aware either. I knew i wouldnt get a confirmed line fail in any useful time on anything less than a Grade 4 system. But i did expect to get a single path failure within minutes. What is key to this test for me is how a G4 dualcom performs and how a G3 redcare secure performs in this type of attack.

Never done it but i recall it being a jpeg on the sd card. Probably has to be a certain name of file
