2 magnetic sensors? Only the door? What happen to the window?
I guess your internal alarm refer to the alarm sound, rights?

Thanks weikee for the explanation. RM15 per battery serious? How come the wireless alarm salesman tell me each battery is only RM2.50??

wired :
pros - maintenance free
cons - need to do wiring throughout the house..
        - the wiring can get faulty .. possibly eaten by rat, or deterioriate itself
          due to aging, or bad installation..

wireless
pros - no need wiring
      - you change the sensor location anytime, anywhere. And maybe you
        want to put the sensors on your cupboard or drawer if you like.. and maybe
        stick it at your front gate if the sensor can withstand outdoor condition.
cons - need to change battery periodically..
        - if the sensor is put on the roof, you need to climb your roof to change the battery.
As for me, if money not a problem, i'd go for wired, or maybe get both, so I can get
the advantages of both world.

Hi sifu-sifus,

Has anyone of you installed wireless cctv or surveilance camera? When i mean wireless I mean both data transmiting and also cctv DC power (so it use battery), no data cable or power wiring involved.

Reason being I had my house reno done and didn't add a socket point in front of main door, suddenly thinking of adding a cctv in front of main door (due to the frequent happen break-in case lately). I dont want to re-hack again.

Is anyone of you using such wireless cctv? how is the battery lifespan, i am assuming the lifespan much shorter since it power a big camera compare to a magnetic/shock sensors.

Any good brand to recommend?

For a double story house is about RM3500

Yes is 8 zones but no internet module

Yeah but is almost 5 years ago

the thing is i don't know how to operate the system, don't even have user manual.. the buttons mean what, error messages mean what, how many sensors installed, all don't know. 

Yes, there are few Dahua models affected, especially immitation/clone Dahua DVR/IPCam.
Please consult your installer/supplier to get the latest firmware update.

Those who not yet hacked, our advice is turn off the UPNP (Auto Port Forwarding) in your DVR, do manual port forwarding, Don't use Port 80 as HTTP Port, and also Don't use P2P if possible, and also use stronger password.

This is the paradox SP6000 series (6 zones) i'm planning to get with the IP module that will call your phone in case of any anomaly in the alarm system. I'm tagging on Dahua CCTV with two cameras - one in front of house and one at the back.

Paradox is RM4,230 and CCTV (with surveillance-standard hard disk recorder) is RM1,590 for total of RM5819. The two systems are separate and not linkable.

should be a sensible all-rounder security without going overboard.

Available from installer CD Security of Puchong, which specialises only in Paradox alarm. CD Security is a new installer firm and the guy in charge has 6 years experience in the business.

Ya, that is another way. Disable the port forwarding, jz use P2P.
Coz i believe they hack it thru IP.

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.

Never since it was installed. Installed back in April 2015 if not mistaken. The TBL lights start to 'shine' around July this year. Possible?
