timmo66 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi guys, I am nearing the final stages of a relatively big monitored CCTV install, and for the first time in a long time we have used Redwalls. These are the new style (I say new - I dont actually know how new they are). We used to have a redwall tester to set the old version up, when that went missing I would wire up a buzzer. My question is to those of you who fit the redwalls on a regular basis - is the tester the only real way of setting up the new version's coverage? Due to the fact that you need the detector plugged onto the back plate, using a buzzer I think would be out of question. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new ones look a little hideous and the Aritech external DT's are 1/2 the price of a Redwall so we started using them. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmo66 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 These are exactly my thoughts, unfortunately I have to fit what I am given. Looks like a step backwards in terms of design, but possibly not technology. We use a monitoring company owned by Optex, I'm sure this is one of the reasons we have gone back to Redwalls.

alterEGO Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Yes they are giving them away, which is a huge saving on install. What is everyone using then? We have been using GJD D-tects for a little while now. Tried Riscos watchouts but they were not much cop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aritech ones are the D-TECs rebadged or with a Aritech wireless module if you use them with an ATS. Really like them which suprised me as I was never a GJD fan prior to them. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
