To be honest I'm thinking of just going with the ERA guardian or the miGuard g5 and sticking with the foscam. I can just put the camera on a smart socket and turn it off while I am in there

Because one room needs additional security whereas the veritas 8 suffices perfectly for the rest of the house?

I like that theory, the only issue we have is that the veritas is already all zoned out and it already has a couple of zones with two sensors on it I'll look into maybe creating my own system though, it might be a better way to get what I want

The grade2 isn't a requirement really just a nice to have for peace of mind, I don't have an issue with getting an installer in but I agree with your reasoning so I'll drop that as a requirement. Maybe I'll drop the camera requirement as well, I don't think I can find one to match my requirements

Hi all, I have a single room in my home where I need to add some uprated security. Currently using a foscam ip camera which is OK but I want a fully redundant and proper alarm system. Requirements: 1- must call / sms at least three people using wifi(ideally but phone line ok) but must have a...

12v had been wired into a switched live and the system had clearly not been set up properly. All now working hunky dory thanks to my friendly local alarm engineer

Okie, so need to check the main unit and not just mess with the control panel.

Ok so I had (literally) two minutes between screaming kids to confirm: 1- I can access it with the engineer code still 2- the PIR have no lights normally or when the walk test is activated. I'll keep chipping away!

I have not, I was too scared of setting it off with a toddler and a baby in the house! Nothing on the PIR that I can see, I'll have a more detailed investigation ASAP

Ok thank you, all the magnets do appear to be well aligned and almost touching. Irritatingly zone 7 is a PIR sensor, but I am guessing the others are at fault anyway as they're all lit but 1

Sorry for another 'I've inherited an alarm' thread. I've read various veritas threads but I don't seem to be able to find an answer on how to resolve this, other than finding a local engineer. We've got the user code, I haven't tried an engineer code. It should all be working but this is the...

I appreciate that, I was merely looking for some advice on the possible scenarios and a clarification on my assumptions, I am not expecting anyone to diagnose the exact fault based on words on a screen. Thank you for the advice so far and I am glad to have some heating, I will pick this up...

Yep I figured that one, but I will let the HE do that correctly. Just wasn't sure if that was too much loss to be a dripping PRV, but I guess the measuring jug test tonight will tell me!

So this morning the boiler was back down to 'min' but not totally empty So I am assuming (and please correct me if I am wrong) that either: 1- the air is being forced out of the leaky EV valve and therefore the water side is expanding and thus the pressure drop 2- all of the air was...

hahaha! yes, and very happy with Tony as we seem to have heating again. Boiler seems to be operating nicely between 1 and 2 bar, will check in the morning though. Will get the HE to check it all over and change the schrader valve out on the EV :)
