  1. sorry I meant BMW or audi...
  2. runaway cos of changed provider? this will happen a lot with bt shutting down pstn imo
  3. No one can know all about all brands, I'd say a company can train and support a few well, all less so. Specialise in a few, train and know the products well. Much like cars you wouldn't take your merc to Hyundai garage
  4. assuming its a 50131 system and certificated to g2 then it should of been setup for daily test calls. I'm also assuming you pay your monitoring and maintenance to your installer not the arc?
  5. what zone is your entry door and hall etc on?
  6. is anything connected to it?
  7. if your an installer apply for trade.
  8. It depends which panel, i think they do a little one that is wireless only but they are defiently hybrid
  9. Install manuals etc are only available to trade members, vetted etc
  10. I have a hkc at home. Full Hybrid panel and rock solid. Also has rf pir camera. But you obviously need an installer that supports it. Other than that id go galaxy (used to have at home) or vanderbilt. But vanderbilt maybe out of budget. Do to the age id upgrade your wired components to probably optex rx40 or hkc quads. my 2p
  11. i would keep your wiring also. As with grant i wouldn't use either but if i had to choose between those two, id go for the Texecom. Just change the panel to a Texecom that is hybrid
  12. no it will work on anything. Wireless he would be right but not with wired in this case
  13. Afaik scanny rf is sh?te one way still?
  14. you will need to use matching ones if you are using more than 1 per circuit. I'd go for the viper
  15. hi
  16. Unfortunately making a profit and surviving seems a bad idea to some. But its the clients that loose out. Sia have just saved a fair few as the installer hadn't paid the monitoring bill for a fair while.
  17. I would think most started up. But people tend to do this on price, ie ill do it cheaper etc which just reduces margin. I knew of a firm that were charging £28 a year for monitoring digi. No longer around
  18. how long do you think a few hundred contracts that renew will take you to build?
  19. my 2p i don't see why the installer would want to stop you adding devices. It may be new to them etc id ask them to change it. But i don't know Pyronix gear so it may not be possible
  20. most fail Imo no reason it won't work but you would be on call 247 365 with only a handful of contracts
  21. also looks to be low grade signalling. I'm assuming this was adt installed but not with them anymore?
  22. amps you seem to infer that people care about security? If that's the case then its also about the backend too. ie not using dropbox for customer data. No data on the google linked phone?
  23. can you upload the log, its seems odd if on extended reporting you got the open as it was ripped off. As above what communicator, arc and polling rate is setup?
  24. hi
