You do know who owns Castle now pyronix?

Yes hikvision   but they still manufacture their alarms here in the UK

All of it? 

Have a look on a box and see where it's made

Anyway that's not the discussion I'll keep this one on topic 

[MrHappy]

Its all bollocks, Tat like Yale or ADE sell very well & do it outside of any EN std ?

 

the 3rd biggest economy in Europe is Britain

 

Britain is a crime ridden crap hole & probably the largest world market for domestic alarms ?

 

What European brands exist in the UK,  Bosch / Siemens ?

 

Neither is major play within the UK or Europe & I assume are more interested in the US market ? 

 

Meh...

[datadiffusion]

Interesting document but pretty much what I expected, do testing in UK as before but get product stamped at next

nearest English speaking EU fweind.

 

Now, off topic....

 

Nah Logan people are just buying Nest / ring / ArgosChinkTat plug-n-pray 'home monitoring' 'solutions' now.

Buy it, plug it in on lounge table

Forget you are paying £2.99 a month for 10 years

Send heartwarming footage of cat / dog / toddler captured by tat 'burgling' that gets 10k retweets c/w brand name of tat

 

I see zero future for someone trying to start a traditional alarm business now unless they are b2b at a corporate level, which

of course you'll not get easily as a OMB new starter now (or then without some serious contacts). And even then Norms tales

of Gunnebo are slightly surprising to me.

 

etc...

 

I don't even see a future for older Yale type products* for much longer. Either that or they will be self-promoted in the field as 'semi-pro alarm kit'

*And nor do Yale - looks like they have just launched a le-sucre like model called 'Sync'.... I wonder if they will simply ditch the 'traditional' range.

 

TBF Can't really blame them, how can you  a £700 CCTV installation complete with wires and a big black

box vs. 2 x £159 wireless Nest cams back to back with nearest 13A socket... I've even seen some new houses with upper floor

USB 13A sockets in slightly odd places I am certain to to allow easy and fairly neat wifi cam installs.

Lol it can't get much worse , even the worst housebasher doesn't charge like above if that's what he meant 

 

I talking bottom of the barrel scraping and all that 

 

 

[datadiffusion]

Don't get me wrong I did my first few installs for the price of a pint + equipment, but I literally do mean the first few. And even then usually as an add on to my own electrical work at full

price. (Shortly after I mostly worked for the same contractor anyway for a few years.)

You'd be better off begging in a shop door way
