Hi, Is it mandatory to issue an NSI cert on a take-over once the system checks out ok & becomes under your company banner (maintenance contract)? Or if any modifications/extensions to systems are made does a cert get reissued? Kind Regards,

LOL

awkward

Any ideas if a Dahua HD-CVI DVR can stream to the cloud for offsite storage?

Not on the locks I use... Red unlocked, green is engaged.

Guys - quick curious question... What is it within a monitored maglock that determines the light to go either green or red? I had a door that seemed lock but didn't turn green, when it grabbed tighter to the magnet the light turned green which is correct. I was just wondering what mechanism it uses within the maglock to determine if it is fully secure or not.

Guys, New to the monitoring side of things so have a quick question... I have a scenario where I have 1 x Galaxy 48... with one emizon unit sending PA, Int, Confirm etc through to the ARC... It has multiple PA's on the Galaxy - do I need two URN's for the PA side of things or one to cover the whole site? Thanks,

Hi - unsure this is posted in the right section... I'm after an email address for Warwickshire alarm administration please (filing a URN application, struggling to get hold of them via the phone + used there "contact us" page with no luck). Cheers,

Hi all, Can anyone identify this fingerprint reader please?

Ok so there's no different variants of an "iClass fob"...? i.e. 16k bit or 32k bit. (not sure on what this means or even if it makes a difference operationally I just saw the difference on the web and thought id ask.

I can see that the fob is a HID iClass fob... My question is - is there many variants of this fob? Customer is looking for replacements - am I going to need to get a picture of the reader or is there one HID iClass fob type?

Could do but the end box's are still a vulnerability? Security screws maybe but majority of the time they are a waste of effort.

Am I right in thinking no cable whatsoever can be wired outside of the internal protected area? I have a scenario that has a corridor with multiple rooms which span off, I was hoping to locate all access controllers in one server room, this would cause an issue wiring through different rooms to each door... Would it have to be wired so each access area is higher than the one before? OR is that irrelevant and no cable should be ran through different areas to reach the final door?

Seems to fit the bill... http://www.riscogroup.com/products/solution/51034

Hi, Need a subby or team of subby's, we're based in midlands but work is UK wide... PAC/DM/Galaxy knowledge ideally.... PM if interested...

Volt drop will matter as I'll be running the power through the relay 200m away? Power will run from the "panel" through the relay 200m away then back to the LED which is located on the panel... so round trip of 400m... I'm just wondering if there's a better solution. Current is 20mA.. LED is the type is fitted on industrial switch panels?? if that makes sense.

Shutter is on a internal section going into a segregated part of the building so no use in this instant. Door is not alarmed.

I am attempting to indicate a roller shutter has been left open with an LED indicator located at a drivers desk (point A)... the roller shutter is at point B with a lever that when bolted across a relay operates to N.O. Distance from point A to point B is 200m. What's my best way of doing it i.e. voltages and size of cables.... I was thinking of sending a +24VAC down one core from a panel that were having made, running through the relay to connect directly back to the LED indicator. and have 0v connected straight from panel to indicator....

Site name could be used for remote access purposes to label the system? Not sure to be honest but that would be my guess - maybe a label for the APP to pick up on?

Agreed but in a less overjoyed way )

Something like that lol

Electronic security and networking as a general are like oil and water at the moment in my opinion...

You could still notify customers without broadcasting to the public. Even if all my customers were 100% secure, I'd still feel uneasy about such topic discussed in a public security forum. The customers that don't get notified are still vulnerable and there'll be many out there that won't. However unlikely it is to happen, it's still possible someone can gain criminal value from this topic. And that's not right no matter how you look at it.

I'm merely making the point that the site now shows back doors to any CCTV system in the public arena, if that's what EVERYONE agrees with then fantastic but I don't agree with it and that's my opinion. And that's what a forum is all about... opinions... It's hardly off topic debating if "the topic" is sensitive or not. Do we start a thread "the below thread - sensitive or not" not sure? No but your system will be ran through the mud and how funny if they got the info to do it from your own site... And it's not just the £300 brigade as mentioned above... The "expensive" DVRs can carry the same issue.
