QUOTE(bluepenguinKills @ Sep 5 2017, 07:22 PM) Had to resurrect this thread seeking some answers to my Paradox issue. I recently found out that my TBL light '2' starts to light up. From the manual, it is related to internal power issues. I suspect this could be the backup battery. I could not arm the system due to this. Attempt to reach Winson to fix it is futile. Guess he is no more on the business. I should have gone for ADT instead of Paradon. Anyone experience similar issue? If its the battery, probably replacing it would work. Just wanted to know if anyone else experience the same. You can contact my alarm contractor at 016 - 639 2272 Eeson. |

Actually a good alarm system is not about the brand. Cabling / workmanship are the most important part. I got many business friends kena cheated by alarm companies. How they cheat us? They loop many points with 1 cable. Worst they use 1 cable for 2 zones.
1 cable = 2 zones
1 zone = 10 windows
If 1 of the point is damaged, then the other points will not function. For my brother's house. The contractor used leftover cables and join them together. Because they dont have spare money to buy cables and materials. 99% of the alarm companies play dirty magic.

QUOTE(jimmylim85 @ Oct 4 2017, 11:36 PM) I would recommend you get something that works with GPRS GSM module and runs on apps or even SMS. I find the Unifi unreliable. for example, what If the thief would to cut the power supply of your premises? I'm sure alarm system have a backup battery even they try to break-in, the alarm will go off but communication to your phone relies on UniFi and Unifi modem require power supply. Meaning that no power supply for your UniFi modem means no communication/notification about your alarm triggered. Recently I've attend ISF 2017 back in last month, the future of alarm system will be using your phone android / iOS thru their apps and cloud system to notify your alarm status and controlling your system. No more phone calls or even sms. Just push notification on apps. Making it more user friendly. Phone calls will be here for another 10-20 years. Tried phone app type back in 2015 till now the product is still not mature yet. |

Win100, I think you open the account to sabotage people. My previous vendor was Belco, but their service is not good. So I changed to eeautomation. My cafe and restaurant are using their services. Already 6 years. So far so good and their service is good.
My partition guy's service is not good at the beginning, but i now he is ok. May be the frequency not ngan with me. Sometimes we got to use different tactics dealing with contractors. My wife always complaint that i am a very particular person.
