No tamper switches in the control cabinet... you'd think that they'd have picked up on tamper switches by now. After all, she implies that they've been around since 1852.

The cabinet is probably screwed to the sheetrock without anchors and definitely without a backer board. (You can see that one of the screws is cockeyed, a clue that wall anchors are not being used.)

wire terminations not done prfessionally, no labelling for each cables, i prefer using shrinkable tubes to join the wires.

i wonder if she is also an installer. crawl that attic, oh ! i doubt that there are many company's are holding onto good hardwire installers. these kids are now just wall poppers, wireless does help some installs. i have seen with all the takeovers that most good installers have been shafted with still low pay and burn out that they have finally gone out of this bus. management living good , starving the installers. i am not dispondent, just been in this bus. for 27 years and seen it happening

@rcmoot Did you notice that the EOL resistors are inside the control cabinet? What good do they do there? Why go through the extra work of putting a beaner on a resistor if you're just going to stick it in the panel? Do these people even know what an EOLR is for?

@rcmoot She also says that the battery will provide "many hours of system up-time," but it's only a 4AH battery. That's the smallest battery recommended for the panel when it doesn't have a wireless receiver. Many hours? Yeah, that's rich... It won't even make it through the night.
