Cyberlight22 and the DSC Power 832 security system

[MOconnorclan]

Did your friend allow you to work on your system.

[rainbirdman07]

looks like i installed it. lol

[cyberlight22]

@rainbirdman07 what?! i thot you where a pro?

[rainbirdman07]

@cyberlight22 NNNOOOOOOOOOOO.. I'm not a pro. I know what im doing, how to do it, but im still not a pro. If i showed you my install, it would look bad too......... not as bad as that, but still. Mines bad. Mosty because my dad wouldnt let me install wire threw the walls, and i didnt have money for security system wires.

[knawhaddamean]

pfff rough as fuck that install mate!

[dannardini]

H O L Y B O O T L E G install!!!

the HACK that installed that system should pick a new field.

yuck!

Someone should call Saber and tell then what bad press this video is for them.

[Aragon159]

in australia, there is a high frequency internal siren which produces a sound that is intolerable to the human ear and is designed to repel an intruder from within your home. and there is an outdoor siren concealed in a white box with a blue strobe light, a very strong visual deterent

[FarmMachinist]

Nothing like that siren going off to get your your heart rate up especially when it false alarms.

I just finished a few days ago pulling my parents PC5010 system (Power 832) out and installed a new PC1832 system myself.

The guy who installed their PC5010 half assed the install apparently like the installer who installed your system which caused quite a few false alarms. When going through his install he actually disabled certain sensors instead of fixing them because of false alarms!

[christesche737]

I've run across this many times and it really sucks having to tell the homeowner that he or she hasn't been fully protected for who knows how long. The 1832 is a good panel, did you upgrade the keypads too?

[FarmMachinist]

Yeah ... upgraded the keypads to a PK5501 & RFK5501.

I actually have two systems ... the PC1832 & PC1616 ... the PC1616 relays from a remove location any alarms that occur to the PC1832 via a Linear Xtended Range RX & TX which is good up to 10 miles.

[christesche737]

Sounds good, i like the new keypad design, though I've had cunstomers tell me they have some difficulty with the stay and away buttons. I guess for some the "man in the house" and "empty house" keys are not as easy to figure out as DSC thought

[FarmMachinist]

Only thing I had trouble with was finding the header pins for the PC-Link to attach too ... especially the PC1616. DSC seems to place them in different spots of each model.

I used a Samsung netbook to program each system ... only took 5 minutes for the longest one which had 10+ wireless door/window sensors ... all those ESN's to type in but much easier and error proof than doing it from a keypad.

I can't wait to try the new Alexor system ... that looks like a system you could install in secs.

[christesche737]

Yea I use a Toshiba laptop to program my Napco panels and have always loved how fast and easy it is. I just saw an Alexor system put together at one of our supply houses and it looks really sharp, especially the nicer keyfobs. However I try to stay with hardwired equiptment as much as possible. Those calls at 3 in the morning from a customer saying that the keypads beeping and they want it fixed NOW is enough to keep me awake at night.

[FarmMachinist]

That's what I like about the DSC TL250 ... no real need to make a house call at 3am ... just access the system over the internet ... tell the customer what's wrong and in most cases how to fix it or disable the sensor till your able to fix that morning without losing sleep over it :O)

[dukee155]

i have a 832 just mine is scary when it goes off

[TDFG4602]

POOOR install ; they did not even use a RJ31X!!!! the panel is just wired as an extension! Lazy lazy lazy

[cyberlight22]

tell me about it i wounted to put in a concord 4

[TDFG4602]

I'm starting to like the GE security products. I'm still installing Ademco tho, a website has really good prices on their systems.

[cyberlight22]

yes i like ademco too it's just thay are hier then the concord 4 but in our nest house i am going to do ademco

[TDFG4602]

cool, r u moving soon?

[cyberlight22]

no it will be a cuppel of years! what is the rj31x?

[FarmMachinist]

It allows the System Communicator to seize control of the telephone line when calling Central Monitoring ... if your using a monitoring service you should really have a RJ31X.

[christesche737]

The RJ31X actually does not allow the panel to seize the line, if you connect the land line at the tip and ring terminals on the panel it will still do the same thing. However if there is ever any question about the alarm causing a problem with the line then your screwed. The RJ allows the home owner to simply unplug the panel from all home phone lines, thus finding out if the alarm is the problem. Adding a DSL filter also requires an RJ31X.

[alarmguytwo]

DSC 5010 is a great panel, but this has to be one of the worst installs I have seen in a long time.

[christesche737]

AGREED!

[Lachlant1984]

Why isn't the siren mounted outdoors with a cover over it? Do you live in a flat? The circuit board in the control box really should have a protective cover over it.

[leimeisei909]

I've never seen anyone mount a home alarm siren outside. Usually, it's mounted in an attic, where the sound can easily pierce the roof but its still loud enough so everyone in the home can hear it. If it was outside, you probably wouldn't be able to hear it very well from certain parts inside the home. And, in order for a setup to be "certified" the Power832 installer's manual states that anyone operating the alarm keypad should be able to clearly hear it.

[christesche737]

Actually most attics are sealed enough so that sound can not easily escape. The objective of an alarm system is to get attention, so mounting that big 30 or 25 watt siren outside under an eve, or even better inside the attic but pointing out of a gable vent would be preferable.

[TDFG4602]

NO ONE mounts a siren outside anymore and why would you need a cover on the board anyhow, the can appears to be in an attic.

[FarmMachinist]

Really doesn't matter where you mount the siren ... there loud and annoying and sure to get your attention inside or outside ... lol.

House installs ... in the attic (home owners find that more appealing) .... garages, remote buildings, etc ... typically on the outside and pointed in the direction of the main system location.

I prefer strobe lights myself.... makes it easy for the police to verify the location in question and doesn't piss the neighbors off by disturbing them.

[JonJakeMike]

awsome system i have a napco security system wich i will be doing a test on on it on my HomeFireAlarmKid video channel

[JonJakeMike]

I love the dsc power 832

[gixerr05]

DSC is not a bad system thats what i learned on. POOR install. DMP is way of life now

[cyberlight22]

what is DMP?

[Xsk8r114]

1. Since the control panel is in the attic a key is not nesscessary.

2. I don't think the keypad is supposed to be in the garage (installers fault)

3. Good video.

[FiReAlArMtEcH2600]

yeah its really not

they are sooo stupid

[TDFG4602]

my ademco kpd is in our garage, but i am moving it inside the house. I have been wanting to do that for a long time!

[FiReAlArMtEcH2600]

yeah it is stupid because someone could try to disarm the system before it they enter so they wont have any entry delay whitch means that they have no alarm signal

[TDFG4602]

hey do u have ur own central station?

[FiReAlArMtEcH2600]

no maby eventually though

[TDFG4602]

hey what work did u do on the system?

[cyberlight22]

set the clock and fixed some wiring.

[cyberlight22]

go to safemart com

[TDFG4602]

concord is nice, where are you buying your system?

[TDFG4602]

lol I agree with firealarmtech2600. Neighbor called last night, wanted help on installing DSC Power832, 20 zones, completely hardwired. House is coompletley finished. Cant wait!

[FiReAlArMtEcH2600]

dsc sux lol

GO ADEMCO

[cyberlight22]

hay i like ADEMCO BUT IT COST TOO MUCH I AM GOING WITH GE CONCORD

[FiReAlArMtEcH2600]

my company installs ADEMCO security and firelite alarms fire systems along with system sensor and wheelock

[cyberlight22]

hay what do you think about ademco links system?

[FiReAlArMtEcH2600]

it is great

my seccond home has it which i installed

i is verry easy. but my preferance is hardwired lol because i get to charge more :)

[TDFG4602]

Cool I install Ademco Vista, and GE Simon Systems

[FiReAlArMtEcH2600]

nice
