Ups did not see the answer: thanks I will do!

Hello everybody, back in December 2014 I installed a Veritas R8 (Rkp, external bell box and two sensors, one inside and one outside). End of 2017 I changed the backup battery in the main unit. What should I expect to need maintenance next (after 5 years)? The battery in the bell box? Or a...

I am an IT engineer and from my experience it is enough to enable the write disk cache on the hard disk... this way you avoid short burst of writing. My hdd (normal el cheapo WD elements on usb2) has been in use since 2012 with the two external ip camera (pir activated)

You can even watch all the event (videos and pictures) captured by the camera if you install an SD card inside it, just with the apps. No NVR needed.

Yes it is probably like this. I did re-program: - number of reactivations - external bell cut off time - double knock for the external pir - panic button activation - set entry/exit time The panel was programmed by an installer two years ago (who is out of business now) so I hope I got all...

I noticed that the panic button or the entry time were not set correctly... so I did reset most of the options just to be sure.

Battery arrived today, I just installed it. It all seems ok, I only had to reprogram it (is this normal?). Thanks a lot everybody!

Then they sold me an old one... I installed the R8 in january 2015... :( This model: https://www.kinetic-group.co.uk/kinetic_security/products/batteries/kb-1212_1.2_amp1/

I ordered the battery this afternoon, will be here by wednesday. In the meantime I opened the panel: the battery has a small crack on the side! :-( Btw the voltage is around 6... i wonder if the blackout broke phisically the battery. Thanks everybody, this is the most useful forum in earth!

Ok I am ordering a new battery, is this ok? https://www.reichelt.com/?MWSTFREE=0&CCOUNTRY=459&LANGUAGE=DE&ARTICLE=157003&PROVID=2795&psuma=Toppreise.ch Thanks again

Sorry, I am not ignoring, I thank you for your answer. I am just thinking... before buying a new battery I was analyzing more options. So you think the battery died with the 2-minutes blackout? Before the blackout I did not have the recurring doo-doo sound.

This seems logic also to me, what puzzles me is that it started after the short blackout. Doesn't a battery die over a longer period? Could it not be something on the panel circuit?

Thanks Sparkymarka, what is interesting is that if I disconnect the mains from the panel the external bell start ringing. Does that bring any more insight?

Update: from time to time it does a short doo-dooo sound like when it's running on batteries and the panel only led (green) blinks.

Hello everybody, this afternoon we had a short blackout in my building (a neighbour disconnected everybody's mains for like 2 minutes while having some work done in his apartment...). During this period my bell went off, this never happened before when the R8 was not connected to the mains...

Thanks for the feedback!

Hello, can you please tell us if you changed the battery and the problem disappeared? It is good for the next person who finds this topic in the future :)

Hello everybody, does anybody know how to disconnect these kind of blind parts? The common plastic ones you have to extract them by sliding them from the side. here I see some metal clips and I have no clue how to work on them. Thanks a lot for your help

The light is invisible, but I really have no clue about wavelengths... sorry!
