The sad thing is that you are only looking at profit, most of us try to make a profit in doing our best to protect our customers, within their budget. I have no more to say to you, except that I feel sorry for your clients! n

You want to pass on the "cheapest" kit for mere/maximum profit with no knowledge of what your selling, grading, British or European standards (hence your Q) but question the ethics of the installers/service providers you ask and have asked the free advice of and brand the phrase "rip off" at us ?!?!?!?!?! Nobody says paying more assures better quality but even a deaf, dumb & blind kid could tell you they are assured a better quality car from Bently that TATA mate.To Avoid confusion your the TATA of the industry but unlike them don't even know what your selling?!?!?!?!?!?! Remember the advice given above and good luck selling on ebaY. I feel you won't get too much more free help from us TBH. C.
Cubit Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 do you actually tell your costumers that if they pay more they will be safer ? I only deal with customers. Seems like you're on the wrong forum - in more ways than one.
magpye Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 BS4737 and BS 6799 effectively ceased to exist a few years back in 2005, and was replaced with PD6662, which was a nod in the direction of EN50131. This was accompanied to some extent by DD243 (which concerns with remote signalling), and is now under draft as a British Standard (BS8243). I ordered a copy of "A guide to home security" published by the Home Office, April 2009. I've not given it a good read yet, but the first thing that jumped out at me is this advise from page 12 ..... Quote - " Talk to your insurance company about the alarm companies it recommends before you decide which best suits your needs. The system should meet British Standard BS4737 or BS6799 (wire-free) or the new European Standard EN50131-1." Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.
ma1211 Posted May 10, 2009 Author Posted May 10, 2009 i love TATA lol they employ 2 million ppl any how am sorry do accept my apologies
jamesthomas Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Thanks for having such a discussion. It is very fruitful and effective. Keep it up.

Price of kit don't equal quality or suitability, your kit will be ideal say for a garden shed protection or a student flat, which is only short term residence, where as 'we' are consentrating on quality and VFM to our client perceived over the longer term, getting a reasonable return for what we do and kow how to do - hopefully on the last one . you offer your products at bargain bucket low prices, but what about back up long term? i've traded 24 years and backup every single product i've ever sold, so i don't feel the need to be dealing with kit having a short life span. where i have done it becomes unavailable and so i'm likely left with a problem to replace it with far more expnsive kit at a loss. that 'ethic' keeps my phone ringing from new work over a long period of time, useful in a depresion would you not say? so no, i would not say more expensive means better safety, but perhaps better service and extended useful product longevity (well usually ). Arfur If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
