Don't SMS...call him and let the phone ring out...usually almost near to ring out he will answer ;-)

He completed installation at my house 3 weeks ago. Very nice guy and professional.

Only issue I have now is I am unable to dial into the system via the phone. Get something like fax tone after the phone rings 8 times. Winson said for some homes the Unifi is not compatible. Works fine when plug out the panasonic cordless phone. System dialling out however works fine. Anyone managed to find a solution ?

Anyone here also installed the Paradox IP100 Internet module perhaps as another solution for this issue ?

you want to dail in from internet/smartphone? haha. better still you get GSM module. put simcard direct solve the unifi dail in system problem.

later your pc got virus hack into your alarm system setting. Make the system go rage.

will snap it when I am free later, PIR is Paradox brand, shock and magnetic sensor, as far as I know, for wired one, paradox do not have it, they only have wireless one (which cost u a bomb biggrin.gif), my shock and magnetic sensors brand is Ebelco local brand one, also considered as a reliable local brand for alarm accs smile.gif For me magnetic switch any brand will do, only have to select the shock sensor smile.gif the one I am using have 3 sensitivity levels for user to adjust

well my lucky come with motorola. i havent really test the phone wireless signal how strong the receiver signal yet. need to test every corner's of the house including porch and backyard.

btw does panasonic came with 2 pc's AAA battery? motorola is using 2*AAA battery which is good for me to replace the battery when its reach lifespan charging. Going to change it to Enelopee battery. Current all came with china brand battery.

You are correct bro, unless you parallel both sensors into the same zone then it will allow you to have xx seconds for you to disarm. IMHO, if setup grill with vibration sensor at your main gate, it is good for security but will increase the chance of triggering false alarm, like small animal knock one the gate etc (my old house, bird use to do such silly thing).
*
you forgot the sensor can be adjust sensitivity itself from low/mid/high.

im not sure for all these vibration sensor for grill, its not that the burglar is a monkey that hard shake the grill , then again if set to minimum sensitivity will not trigger to the alarm , i always put my self in the burglar shoe.....if i want to go in ur house , first thing is see where is the sensor and disable it first....it has to be attached to the grill....logically easy to take out ....

i've yet to get a alarm system for my house .....with all these thinking i still couldnt get a robust system that will pass me first. Sometime i feel really sad that we live in fear even in our own property .....how can we improve this in malaysia?
*
the vibration sensor is for the alert when burglar cutting your padlock/padlock ear on the grill which good enough to trigger the alarm. If the burglar intend to remove the sensor go ahead but he need to think twice before decide to remove them which will posibble to trigger the alarm too.

Again alarm is for notification and prevention not a full proof system. Even you subscribe ADT, they will only offer you help to call Police for ya with yours ack.

questions to paradox users
how often do you get false alarm on heavy lightning ?
*
i got none false alarm so far but for your information if the lightning direct hit above roof or your neighbor house might trigger the alarm. its all depend how your installer do the setting.

my house doesn't come with telephone lines. everything by TM fibre optic. so now, TM says no available ports for us yet.

if this is the case, what options do i have? is an alarm with GSM module and a new sim card the only option?

another question, the ADT will contact the police if they can't reach us, correct? do the police actually come and how fast?
*
If u dont have telephone line and no option to have copper phone line while unifi port are full. Indeed yes, ur option is only add gsm module for sim card as a voice dailer.

ADT will only do the system monitoring and calling police is depend on their analysis from period of monitoring and breaching level stage before they decide to call nearby police station. Yet police might not be entertaining such a call. Pls get adt consultant and ask them detail before sign up. ADT monitoring is more like focusing on system failure and inform u to replace part if found failure. Similair activity to hbb and secom alarm system too.
