Fingers crossed, the Ethernet cable, as well as communicating between the NVR and Doorbell it will supply the power to the DS-KV6113. I altered the firmware (model (C) only) in the I/O settings to output 1 to “mechanical chime” in the latest firmware version it’s “Doorbell” then connected the N...

I’ve got an iDS-7204HUHI-M1/FA/A DVR with 4 cameras connected, I’ve connected a DS-KV6113-WPE1(C) doorbell, connected to the DVR via a POE Switch which works perfectly. I’ve not got a NVR but seem to recall reading that it needs to be connected via a POE switch rather than plugged directly...

It really depends on how the system was designed. The problem with turning your boiler temperature down is the radiator sizes (if done correctly) would have been calculated by doing heat loss calculations for each room then sized accordingly, years ago this would have been based on a boiler...

Yes, it already has a sleeve fitted use a copper olive, do not use any paste

I wanted to do some alterations at my daughters house which involved moving a couple of PIR’s, her system was over 10 years old, I contacted the alarm company who said for security reasons (all the alarms on the estate had the same engineers code) they couldn’t tell me what it was. But they...

Generally the panel battery isn’t supplied with the panel, the battery should be sized according to the number of powered detectors etc. typically would be anything in the range of 1.2 - 7.0 Ah.

I always have a box of Dyrline Pro fixings handy, been using them for years now, never let me down

Have you tried the default engineer code, just in case he hasn’t changed it, highly unlikely but worth a try.

Providing the existing standpipe is a standard size, a HepVo valve fitted vertically would do the job.

Global tamper should be connected as attached drawing from Texecom manual, use either a connector block or gel connectors. It should be one continuous loop so that a break anywhere will trigger an open circuit tamper alarm.

Not sure what sounder you have but the Texecom Odyssey sounders have a “Hold Off” feature, I think the left LED only flashing indicates “Hold Off Active, Tamper Circuit Open”

Well, if some little Chinese guy or girl wants to watch me washing the car on a Sunday or watch my wife pruning the roses they are more than welcome to, not terribly exciting viewing. As far as government buildings / facilities etc it could be a genuine concern but surely access could be...

Swann doesn’t have the best of reputations for longevity, have a look at Hikvision

Thank you, but mowing the lawn is the extent of my horticultural skills, the rest is down to my good lady
