mma Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I installed a bucket load of alarms with audio verifacation. I wasn't totally happy with the equipment but do think the idea behind it is good. have any of you ever installed any and if so what did you use and was it any good.

james.wilson Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Have taken over some and converted them to seq. I personally think the theory is flawed from a false alarm prevention system. Also shows its security weakness when it has to be backed up by sequential. I think it does have a place in a few limited applications. Sequential is more general purpose imo.

james.wilson Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 too many false alarm causes involve noise imo. ARC's seem to police it if any noise at alarm time. also the subs make noise when setting it off. In some designs ie when using active beams or vibros to protect a wall / sheet behind racking etc then sequential is difficult to achieve and audio would be spot on. But other than that i think sequential is better. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

mma Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Domestics liked the idea and it did come in handy for elderly people to act as nurse call. I was never happy about installing it in commercial jobs though. Wouldn't always go through on the 1st attempt. There is a company up here who installs loads. As seen on tv. ( that's for ripping old ladies off for thousands of pounds for an alarm that should have been a few hundred) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 do you mean these un approved firms using the mic in the panel to confirm? Yes i suppose a complaint audio system domestically could work but id of thought a quad and a dt per room would be more effective, stable and cheaper? securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

mma Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 They don't get police response. The monitoring station aren't approved but sometimes if the police were board they would attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
