ADT System

[SFB Solutions]

Hi All,

 

I was wondering if anyone had any experience of taking over an existing ADT alarm system for a client?

 

I have been approached by a prospective client who has an existing ADT install of over 10 years old. They have decided to cancel their ADT contract and have asked me to take a look.

 

Am I right in thinking ADT install a different type of panel to most?

 

I know installing a complete new system is the belt and braces answer but I didnt want to quote for this unless it really was necessary.

 

Regards

Alex

Probably usual story they don't want to pay, probably well maintained but never been upgraded , what happens if your maintenance charges are same as ADT will they still pay?

 

Unless it's a lesecure or whatever it's called or domonial they all straight forward , those to stay clear

Thanks for the reply.

 

Its a long winded story and I wont go in to it here but it wasn't money (apparently).

 

Will ADT hand it over or will it be a case of a hard reset and start again?

Reset, ADT will for a charge sometimes

 

What panel

I'd be looking to crash and reprogramme any takeover liability wise.

 

Will ADT hand what over?

Probably means engineer code

 

But I believe they do setup as a standalone system on a last call no?

[SFB Solutions]

Yes I meant engineers code.

 

Thanks for the help so far

[norman]

I'd hope as trade he wouldn't expect a co to disclose the engineer code.

 

Yes if they are requested then they will default, but often the contracts are cancelled between visits so to speak.

No.

Assuming Galaxy would it not have custom firmware?

I am sure they would come out for a non-contract fee and default codes for you...

I am meeting the client soon and will take a look at the equipment to ascertain what they have, I must admit I'm expecting it to be a galaxy with custom firmware but we will see.
