Homeowner Forum / Security Alarms / January 2006

Pretty darned good!  I am a ROF (retired old fart) who was growing
suspicious of the BS being thrown my way by local security firms and decided
to become a DIY.  I bought a used home (a little over a year ago) with an
FBI system that has become flaky and I decided to replace it ...

Am cleaning shop; dumpster on premises!
I sure hate throwing out stuff for which I paid good money.

touch screens?

Does anybody know where I can get decent CCTV cameras in the UK at a
reasonable price.

 I recently bought a house that came with a security system.  The main
control panel is a radionics 2412U or something like that.  The existing
company is giving me a tough time on my VOIP setup - hey its not my fault
they won't support a new and fast growing technology.

I am thinkin of replacing my current Brinks panel with an ELK M1.  Does
anyone know if the existing sensors (doors, motion, smoke) will wire
directly to the ELK with no changes?  I assume the phone connection is
OK and the number of wires needed for the control panels is adaquate

post to this group by J. Stevens.  He recommended pressing # for 2 sec.
followed by 1 for 2 sec. and then reprogramming zone 000.  I had my new
