Gopher Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Yeah would be interested in helping out, I did try and write one not so easy when you know very little but a little more into it now, maybe try and help you out a bit, once my head gets around why translating a webpage from using tables to using divs is annoying when using certain "style attributes" Intruder / CCTV / Access Control Technical Support Personal Subscriber to the "K.I.S.S" principle, that's Keep It Simple Stupid, are you?
j.paul Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 The basic principle would be that the data would be stored on a secure server so there would be no backups to worry about, the system could be used from any system we write a client for, ie pocket pc, windows etc (to start with windows only) and as no data would be stored on the device there would be no risk of client data leaking etc.James Who's secure server would that be? And if its a online sever (eg access from the internet) would it be security tested to NSI/SSAIB and insurance companies standards There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
james.wilson Posted August 29, 2008 Author Posted August 29, 2008 Good point Jp, and one I had to consider before offering it. The server will be a secure SQL server using the same engine as citibank and various financial institutions use. I looked at High availability Mysql Cluster for the engine but finally decided on the closed source MS SQL engine for its enhanced security. Also all communications from client to server will be SSL encrypted (128bit which has 339,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 combinations) just like the Verified by Visa 3D secure scheme. But basically Yes securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
IPAlarms Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Good point Jp, and one I had to consider before offering it. James - do you know what you are letting yourself into ? I would think that running your alarm business, equipment business and this forum takes up a huge amount of your time. Unless there is a commercially viable reason why you want to do this, I'm a bit confused at why you would take on such a time consuming project. I know from experience that this type of project NEVER ends, so if you do take it on, be prepared for the long run. I spent lots of time myself and had a developer work on my MSSQL/web based alarm management system for 2 years - so I'm already well down the road to an online solution. That's not the reason I am trying to put you off - I have no interest in the UK market. You have offered me lots of useful advice in the past and I am just returning the favour. Speak to a couple of professional software developers first and get their opinion. If you decide to take it on - cool. Free Alarm Monitoring over the Internet from IP Alarms

But basically Yes Just checking and good luck with the project From my point of view I don't like the idea of another company holding our data (not that I don't trust you james) I could give you a example of how this could go very wrong but its not the place or time There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
Able Alarm Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 I have been looking for good software for years now, since i stopped using the IBM Lotus smart suite software that i just about managed to manipulate so it would automate my service letters. In saying that I would be very interested. I am currently using windows office 2010 (outlook 2010) but still doing a lot of duplication and cutting and pasting. AbleAlarmMan Able Alarm Ltd
Lwillis Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 id definatley be intrested. im running a pcc mac at the moment. but a windows version would still be a help.
james.wilson Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 ill look at bringing this back. The data would be hosted on the tsi cloud though its too hard to support for free seperate data stores. That may change your opinion. Im thinking of having a mysql tsi cloud backend that would be private and seperate. That way backups etc are not an issue. It also allows me to write mobile apps. Over the next 12 months SIA will be moving fully away from paper in the vans and have tablets. We will use these for all engineer functions and also for sales, quotes etc. I will have tablet gps tracking as part of this but while im going to test on a windows 7 tablet ill wait until windows 8 is released before its deployed. It will be 3rd quarter this year before i have anything to release and the free version will be limited as i will concentrate on linking it to our db which is useless outside of sia. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
alterEGO Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Im waiting on windows 8 for the same thing. I think we will be lucky to have a stable version this year tbh.
james.wilson Posted January 28, 2012 Author Posted January 28, 2012 i think we will have windows 8 this year but as is usual its best to wait for sp1 before deploying it securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
