If you want a door that I've ordered - to make sure the intruder can't get in, take a look at this )))) Phil

Hi Yep, all covered (I hope) lol

Pond & Sharks interesting idea ), if I get fed up with the neighbors...hmmmm Me: Come look at my new fish Neighbor: ok Me: Look at that one near the edge of the bond (wooops I slipped and grabbed the neighbor, forcing him of balance and into the water - Accidents will happen) - lol Shark: hmmmmmm dinner ) Phil

After the install and testing the Alarm fully, the only things I had to alter was the shock sensors sensitivity slightly and pet friendly pirs to option 2 (these ones I use have 1 - 3 options detection settings), since then I've had no false Alarms. Thanks Phil

:oP lol

Oh ok, I will do this ASAP, thanks so much for the information Thanks Phil

[There not an intruder until they enter the premises] - Good Point, They are of course if uninvited Trespassers; this is a gray area unless you have removed "Implied Right of Access" [DPA domestic exemption rules have changed, you need to be registered with the DPA to store any images not on your property] - This is an interesting one, I was aware of changes, but when I contacted them regarding domestic CCTV encroaching on the neighbors land slightly, I was informed as long as I had legal CCTV signs i.e. showing the operators of the CCTV and contact details, this would comply with the DPA, but I will contact them again and confirm this. I am also registered with http://www.whoiswatchingme.org/ [How long has the garage control panel been there, purely from a condensation or damp viewpoint] - The Garage is a brick and breeze block one - What I did was place damp course against the wall then wood panel, attach a IP66 compliant metal Box to the wood and installed the Panel in there, it's key locked access and checked regularly. I will post my full specs for the House Alarm and/or CCTV system if anyone whats it Thanks Phil

Thanks for the response The Garage (separate from the house) has it's own Alarm with Contact/Shock on the side door, PIR inside and Roller/ Shutter Door Contact at the front. I have a few week ago, installed CCTV covering front door, back door, side door, front drive, back garden (all wired with tamper circuit to a zone on the House Alarm) and a wireless CCTV Camera in Garage using a 5.8ghz transmitter (encrypted) back to the house. The images are recorded on and off site and as one camera does (very slightly) go over next doors drive, I have added CCTV signs that comply with the DPA, ICO and article 8 of the EU Human Rights act. The CCTV has full battery backup Ok, all this may sound a little over kill, but my family safety comes first above anything. Thanks Phil

Am new to the forums ) Hi!!! -- Is it me or are all (in my option) home alarms installed without maximum security in mind? Let me explain; Door Contacts only trigger after the door is open and PIRs only trigger after someone is in the house, shouldn't an Alarm be before an intruder has entered? For example; my home Alarm is door contacts with Shock Sensors, so if someone is trying to break in with any type of force the Alarm is triggered before entry has been gained. I also have GLX Vipers (shock Sensors) on all Windows and pet friendly PIRs in the home, this allows to Dogs to patrol without triggering the Alarm went we are asleep or out - therefore the perimeter and inside is protected - Isn't this a better & safer option? Also, I have noticed that people have PIRs upstairs disabled at night so they can go to toilet; this leaves a big hole in the home security does it not? I have remote keypads for Alarm in both bedrooms - This means no security issue upstairs at night. As I installed the Alarm myself the total cost was around the same price that some Alarm Companies charges for a basic Alarm - £525. Am I right in installing my way or over paranoid? Thanks Phil
