Guest CNS Rawdon Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I would suggest you make a call to your Insurer as the budjets you are talking about would probably not get you the correct grade of system to meet the European regs . Doing the job on the cheap can cost you dear down the line. Insurance companies can insist on systems meeting a certain standard especially if a claim has or is made before or after you have a system fitted.

Guest Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 yes i would spend it on cctv first as at least you can see who it is aroun the property and not just hear that the place has been broken into. it gives more info like the colour of the vehicle is used, hoddie.......... yes we can see a car leaving on the cctv....... fecking hell its mine they broke in for the keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Engineer Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 this is not a fabrication, and just proves you DO get what you pay for, take notice of advice like this my security alarm system has operated faultlessly, even without a routine visist in 10 years, battery must be shot but the system is still working. smoke system fire 8 - 10 times a year every year.regs alan Same here! I wonder if thats the same of most engineers own systems. Never took the lid off since I first closed it Service Engineer My opinions may not reflect those of my employer, managers, colleagues, customers, friends, family or pet rabbit.

PThomas Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 The smoke sensors that fit into alarm panels, do these sound the normal break in alarm or is there a different tone? I would be concerned if the whole alarm goes off as we do occasionaly get false alarms due to cooking/burning toast etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PThomas Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 How many lines of resolution should I be looking at for a 'reasonable' image? And do most of the PC cature cards support the same resolutions? (Some seem more aimed at std PC resolutions like web cams such as 640x480 etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PThomas Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 420 tv lines for a reasonable image and 500+ for a high quality image.checked out that web site i pm'd you what did you think??? colin Some good stuff on there and keen prices. I'm still a bit unsure on the resolution issue. Yes I can get plenty of cameras with a resolution of 420 and more expensive ones at 500+, but most PC capture cards seem to quote 640x480 as the max resolution. How do these figures compare?

Guest Alarm Guard Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Yes to which bit? Seperate internal alarm or outside sounder as well? Depends on the control panel. The 'better' ones will allow the engineer to dictate exactly what happens on fire detection. As for the burnt toast scenario, good quality detectors sited correctly should not give unwanted activations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
