May be their competitors try to sabotage. My shop was having some electrical problems but my electrician spent hours couldn't solve it, and luckily they came to add on some sensors. They helped me to settle it. I would say they are very knowledgeable and skillful. That time we were printing large quantities of banners, if not we would have to pay compensation to the developer client.

This happens to all industries. Just rang a Mattress vendor and asked for Dreamland Freshguard Miracoil. The vendor told me there're many sellers in the forum trying to sabotage his brands. Anyways, he explained well over the phone, and i will pay him a visit this afternoon and see how it goes.

Hi there
Can I know if you did hire EE Automation to work on your alarm? Any reviews on this installer?
I have some problems with my Paradox alarm, but no longer able to locate my previous installer, thus I am looking for a reliable person to assist.
Thanks!

I did not engage them. Nor did I enquire. I chose Bluguard instead

What makes u choose bluguard?
Can you share what’s in the package and price point?

I actually contacted one of the company mentioned here but their response is lukewarm- answer message slow, have to remind them to give quote and after give quote, they didn’t even call or check if I’m interested. maybe too much business already hehe
*
I think for me I care more on the installer professionalism more than brand.

Most alarm seems to have similar functions. Depending on your home, the package would be setup to match it's need. Standard functions like door magnetic sensor, vibration sensor and etc is pretty standard all around. So for me it goes back to professionalism of the installer.... I've personally can't stand contractors that gives lukewarm response as if we are rubbish. So I would recommend avoid such companies

U need to go into the installer mode. Booklet only have user mode. There is a separate 2 piece paper that details the options in installer mode. This paper is very useful

My new home is under construction at the moment, the brochure mentioned developer provide alarm wiring. So pretty much I'm here to survey for alarm system (preferable one which is able to arm/disarm from handphone, and able to communicate with the CCTV system perhaps?). So far names that came up was Paradox and Blugard, any other I should be considering?

My existing home now is using Sharp SmartHome, so it has these features (mobile connect + communicate with the CCTV) however being wireless the reliability is questionable. So this time around want to go for wired plus if need to add in more points to do during the construction period.

Thanks! Contacted them, seems their SmartHome series are full wireless... which is something I didn't quite like cause not so reliable  hmm.gif

Btw, contacted the contractor handling the project's alarm wirning, he said the main unit is kept above the 2nd floor ceiling... wah seh is this normal ah? if got "mickey mouse" then bite the cable finish lor?  bye.gif

Also he don't carry Paradox or Blugard but instead this brand called Supa...

I didn't like to put above ceiling. Seems like such a hot place to keep electronic system in.

Alarm notification via WhatsApp I have not encountered before but Wechat is available. As for single camera image Cloud upload most recent DVR or NVR have this feature.
*
Hikvision DVR cloud upload is a joke. The image n video uploaded is so low quality. U cannot see any plate number or face image coz it's so blur. By default they use the Sub Stream setting n u can't really change the setting as the max setting allowed is still too low quality.

Sorry for tagging u so long ago.
I just changed to maxis fibre from unifi.
My paradox vdmp3 initially was connected via a splitter to my phone through unifi fixed line.
Upon changing to maxis fibre it doesn't work anymore.
Do u have any idea how to fix this?
*
Not sure if this helps but last time I had an issue with Digi Volte. The issue was Digi Volte DTMF seems to be incompatible with the alarm system. But my alarm I was using is Blugard. So the way I solve it was to call Digi to disable Volte.

Not sure if same for u. Just sharing

Anyone thought of putting a fake ADT logo/decal? Read their website, first layer of protection is the adt decal as it shows u r protected. tongue.gif

Another layer is monitoring and alarm. Just use eufycam or arlo pro or ultra.

Your other layer is metal grills.
*
if there is a severe budget constrain i dont see why not to put fake decal as deterent.

i personally use xiaomi camera to cover any important gap that is not covered by my cctv.

another thing i think is important is motion sensor spot lights.

If go for a smart home solution, the price is probably less than RM1.2K, smart home solution such as Aqara/Xiaomi is wireless, IoT technology, better app to mange house security, able to integrate to voice control such as Alexa, Google Home.

As a current user of aqara n xiaomi, I don't recommend this for security or serious home automation.
