The house alarm started buzzing in the morning with the green lights on the panel turned red and flickering. I punched my pass code few times and it became quiet. After few hours now I have no light on the panel.
Theres is fuse box next it with 2 amp fuse which i have changed but still on life on the panel. Is it possible that the battery is gone off?
How do I check if battery is dead? otherwise what should i do?

I have an ADT alarm system that I inherited, I am looking to remove it.
It consists of 3 sensors in different rooms, an external alarm box, the console is plugged into an upstairs socket, when I turn off the socket the alarm constantly beeps, any help would be appreciated.

Are there any extra locks etc that can be put onto upvc doors and can complete new handles be put on at same time as locks.

To install outside security cameras do the installers need Part P accreditation ?
Thanks in advance

We are thinking about upgrading our security at home and are wondering if door level locks or a bar is more safe and durable? Also, which brands would you recommend? Is diyife a trustworthy brand?

We have a Scantronic 9448 alarm and think the battery in the control panel has gone as we cannot disable the alarm if the mains power is cut. Otherwise the alarm works fine.

Is this something I can safely and easily sort out myself? I am not massively 'handy' but at same time don't want to call someone out if this is a 5 minute job!

Also, should I turn off the mains power before I open the control panel and change the battery? I would prefer to keep it on as I don't want the alarm sounding the whole time, but I don't want to electrocute myself!

Thanks

Hi there,

So basically I am trying to install a
DS-2CE71H0T-PIRL camera. This would of require one bit of wiring to connect to Dome camera and another bit to connect to back of DVR box.

I'm aware that if I use Cat6 cable I would need to crimp both ends to add on the right connections. Rather then take this path can I buy ready made ones. If so which supplier sells them. I require at least 5m. eg ebay, amazon etc....

Please get in touch if you can help me and thanks in advance 👍
