  1. I'm glad we are getting automation questions the alarm should be be presence detector in most setups
  2. Yes and the concern is if a panel can be easily undone it's going to be. We need to accept its good that a panel can't easily be defeated. There will be a test case at some point. I feel it's best that no controls can be reset. Let's leave that to verisure and the DIY market. Professional Security devices should be secure.
  3. A digi is unlikely to work, very unlikely to be reliable. A dialer unlikely to be reliable. Main question why are you considering something that isn't 100% reliable for your security, or is 95%good enough? Also these things need power, firmware upgrades etc. If the perp turns the mains off then it will be 0% reliable
  4. If your getting 12v on your meter between bell trig and 0v the panel isn't driving the bell. Touching the bell trig to 0v in the panel proves this.

  6. I'd continue though as what you have inherited is decent. It's a prosumer type system and there is plenty that can work on it. Have you not got any codes from the previous?
  7. Also remember that it's the installation and his skills etc and support for 12 months I'd also say it's more like a day than half a day too
  8. Are you arming all groups? Check it's all just group a1 maybe But to make things easier I'd do a topic per issue rather than a list in 1 topic
  9. When was it last serviced? A power fail shouldn't cause any issues the fact it has points to a problem imo
  10. You should be able to use a 3rd party reader and is better way than using the access to arm etc
  11. Never had this issue, is it a pay as you go sim?
  12. I doubt the old sonys are onvif? How old are they.
  13. WHat do you have the internal siren programmed a, if its bell it wont when unset
  14. Sorry i have no idea what it is, thats possibly and probably my limitation, is it progeny based?
  15. ring and simplisafe etc have burglar guides on youtube, look yourself for howto guides on defeating
  16. Keep the data lines free and flowing make the powers short and together. You will know if you are happy with how it looks if your not do it again. Imo never make cables too short. Im not a dressed fan imo it has to be functional and practical. Stand back after and either be happy or move stuff and redo it
  17. Agreed app solutions are great for notifications but that's it. Give it time I'm sure it will improve, just like it got better with 3g then 3.5g then 4g now 5g. None of them cover the country tho yet. I'll say it will work well enough when WiFi isn't needed because we have 11a...
  18. On a wired system you can just replace the control panel. However how old is it all?
  19. Battery should be sized to meet standby req without knowing the system currents you can't size it correctly. I would go with the size you need. I'd also advise a decent brand, failing batteries kill panels. Nasty one fail faster and harder. I'd also say it's the panel battery as its showing 0001
