    Veritas 8 Alarm Panel Text Dialer

    Have you tried a 4G sim card? Alternatively search for GSM dialler, (Quite a few to choose from) they all work pretty much the same way, they need a permanent 12v and a trigger, which you could take from the panel bell output. As for which one? Ask 10 different people you will get 10 different...

    landline number without the landline

    I can confirm that phone lines are left in situ, but are "dead" If you still have a phone if you pick it up, its quiet for about 1 second, then you get the "unobtainable tone" (long continuous tone)

    landline number without the landline

    It's called the "Telephone Preference Service" It's free for domestic users, BUT It's for UK only, so it does not apply to any call centre abroad.

    Smoke alarms on extension

    In all newbuilds/refits in England/wales must have a smoke alarm on each level, also one in the main habitable area (usually the lounge) as well as a heat detector in the kitchen, a CO detector in any room that has a fuel burning appliance. It should also be considered what level of detection...

    landline number without the landline

    Not sure if you are being serious or not? That started a couple of years ago. The cable companies (Virgin etc) started it years ago, and BT followed suit recently. I can't afford "full fibre" (Where you get a fibre optic cable coming into your house) so I have fibre to cabinet. (Big green box...

    Additional PV Panels on certain time of the day in the string

    Sorry, I don't know what you can use, but you can't use a standard PLC or relay to switch the D.C. from your panels. As it is D.C. the current will try to flow as long as it has a connection, but in so doing it ionises the air, so continues to flow until the gap becomes too far. You can see an...

    SSL is the name given to the encryption of transmitted data. It stops your email (or anything else) from being read by someone who has hacked in to get it. What they are saying is like you, buying a car, and they tell you that tyres are included. It is something you would expect to get when...

    You get no choice, once you tell one company your email address, they sell it to others. We both do a similar thing. One email address for friends, one for "anywhere you don't know" one for places you often buy stuff from. Its good because you can change the address at will, so you stop...

    Yes. But it is easier than it sounds. The company that you choose will "host" everything for you, domain, email, website. Don't get me wrong, you have to fill in all the spaces, some will give you templates to fill in, depends what you want and how much you want to spend. I do not want to be...

    GOV.UK advice on Rented properties for smoke alarms.

    Company I used to work for used to buy in a product made in Scotland, they changed to making it in China, believe it or not, it was slightly better. I don't believe where something is made has anything to do with it, what does matter is what specs you have it made to.

    GOV.UK advice on Rented properties for smoke alarms.

    I am lead to believe that in England you can have battery smoke alarms, at least one on each level. It does not have to be mains powered or interlinked. BUT interlinked is preferred, and so is mains powered but a device with a 10 year battery life is also acceptable. In Wales, you must have...
