    New CCTV equpitment advice

    For the price that you can buy genuine Samsung techwin for, I really would not bother with the likes of rubbish from System Q / CCTV direct - its all chinese rebranded junk ...they give it fancy names like "alien", "hero" ect and then they charge top dollar. We are an NSI company and have now...

    Easy Fit SmartPhone Alarm vs SmartHome Alarm

    These are totally different animals and the decisive factor for me would be that you have more chance of fitting the Yale yourself as the manual is more friendly. However it is indeed a complicated bit of kit. I really think Yale finally have a serious product for the pro market. Would like to...

    Easy Fit SmartPhone Alarm vs SmartHome Alarm

    Hi TLM, we fitted the Yale smartphone alarm and I have to say it is very DIY compared to the Yale Smart Alarm grade 2 system. The app software is ok BUT I really cannot see the value of this internal camera system....its purely a gimmick! The Yale Smart alarm is a serious bit of kit by...

    Easy Fit SmartPhone Alarm vs SmartHome Alarm

    Chaps I think we are going a little off topic......The OP was asking about Yale alarms not internet security.....He's probably well "hacked" off and not fitting an alarm anymore :P All internet connected devices wired/wireless can be hacked into regardless.....just look at the 15 yearold...

    Easy Fit SmartPhone Alarm vs SmartHome Alarm

    Hi John, the Yale alarms are no more vunerable than any other internet based device.... The OP is basically saying that anything product with internet connectivity is vunerable to be hacked...BUT its the same for any device..... Personally I would not be concered......and its certainly not...

    Easy Fit SmartPhone Alarm vs SmartHome Alarm

    Wow thats a bit of a worry......... It just strengthens the case NOT to have cameras with remote viewing.... An alarm has one purpose and CCTV has another....the two should be kept seperate - IMO. Matt

    Easy Fit SmartPhone Alarm vs SmartHome Alarm

    Hypothetically agreed indeed......but if someone is ready to target you to such an extent, you should not be fitting this type of system.... I think we need to keep within sensible boundaries...yes its possible but 99.9% unlikely.......

    Easy Fit SmartPhone Alarm vs SmartHome Alarm

    I just downloaded the full manual for the above alarm and in all fairness it looks quite a snazzy bit of kit......... I really like the power switch.......I know it not a new concept but the ease of install...I think Yale could be onto a winner.. Will compare with smart alarm...... One thing...

    Easy Fit SmartPhone Alarm vs SmartHome Alarm

    I'm not 100% if there is an app BUT there was definately a LAN connection on the panel and there was a USB for upload settings and firmware update. When I had a problem with fascia panel I range Yale and spoke to a guy call Steve Wright...no pun intended...He was very helpful...kept his...

    Easy Fit SmartPhone Alarm vs SmartHome Alarm

    We fitted the Yale Smart Alarm system (grade 2) a couple of weeks ago after a customer specific request. Initially I was a little concerned as we normally fit Visonic .......I see yale as more DIY however this is certainly not the case with the smart alarm. The manual is also very well...

    Yale Smart Alarm

    We installed the above last week...first time fitment.... Initial thoughts - love the control panel, makes the powermax seem dated......the logic of programming is excellent and the manual is most definitely written by a brit. I do not like the door sensors being powered by a CR2032 and would...

    Yale 6400 alarm control unit location

    I fitted on of these on the weekend..........2hrs to install! Highly recommend using the remote keypad which I believe is the HSA6080......You can get from homebase/ screwfix You could use keyfob but I'd say the pad is a better choice as its fixed to wall....

    Texecom Ricochet or Visonic Powermaster 30?

    OK in all truth the Powermax has a wider selection of extras to add onto the kit. I would not both with powermaster as it is complicated. The powermax complete is more than sufficent and meets all the same specs as Powermaster. If you are fitting yourself then be warned the Visonic manual is...

    Yale HSA6400 or Yale Easy Fit Telecommunication Alarm?

    It is true any wireless alarm could be jammed BUT if you are worried about being targeted by a thief of this integrity, you should not be fitting an alarm yourself. We are an NSI gold accredited company in Bristol and normally we would always fit the Visonic powermax.......it is complex and...
