  1. as above its knocking on mid 90s
  2. im sure many maintainers have calls for the same when its battery powered stand alone devices, smoke alarms, alarm clocks in draws, heating systems. I even had a call to 'music coming from all rooms with a pir' turned out it was her birthday and she was walking round with a singing birthday card
  3. id go with the above, the intruder alarm is always first suspect but often isnt
  4. im not so sure, id say diallers will mostly still function, digi's im less sure about. But imho we shouldnt be using old tech for alarm signalling. id expect a shift to single path sim / dualpath bb and sim for everything going forward. I dont use the built in pstn on my hkc at home etc
  5. On a serious note I assumed diallers would be immune from IP core changes, it appears they may not be
  6. i recall this happing many years ago with orange. when you switched phones did you switch networks?
  7. many years ago we organised a tsi meet up but it wasnt something the members wanted iirc
  8. id say the 'average' doesnt go that deep. If installing product from the same manufacturer etc then it will work as the testing etc has already been done. Where the good guys do well is knowing how to make x work with y. However most customers dont check on ability or dare I say care.
  9. As this is a public post this is not the way to remove any sounder Logon Post useful content, not misleading content or dont post at all
  10. you will be able to do most things you should be able to do that, you will get tampers etc but you can silence with the user code.
  11. What's the difference between a wooden socket and mounting it to a wooden surface? I'd be more concerned about the 2nd hand, bin found etc stuff connected to a socket in a shipping container
  12. id say the lightwave option is cheap its a 1 way tech that is horrible to keep reliable. But are you looking at £15 and a plug in device or are you looking to do it properly?
  13. unfortunately your only choice in prosumer world is texecom with their sockets however this might be your issue what is too expensive?
  14. you could use these for straight switches https://sonoff.tech/product/wifi-diy-smart-switches/sonoff-mini but id change them into their other mode to keep privacy etc look into home assistant to do it all yourself
  15. The 3-2-1 backup strategy simply states that you should have 3 copies of your data (your production data and 2 backup copies) on two different media (disk and tape) with one copy off-site for disaster recovery. granted tape isnt used much anymore but the principle remains, 3 copies of data 2 backups and at least 1 off site
  16. Dont know the unit but id try switching the holdoff. Im guessing its an scb by default?
  17. backup left on site is one option, but its like sage, word etc its up to the client to backup unless they are paying for a managed backup solution off site etc. Also should the backup be encrypted if your taking it and its found inside the pc etc
  18. Taking a backup depends on clients data retention etc too. Not a requirement afaik
  19. Agreed, I also feel bad you borrowed something you will never here the end of
  20. Ok so how did you activate it. IIRC on the eurosec the bell can be delayed on certain activations, ie timeout.
