For October testing can we do the common space pull with my own UA-cam channel I tell my viewers, the same thing when I do monthly testing with my fire alarm system at my house
I think the low volume is better as it should prevent hearing loss in a small space, great video it was really well put together. it is interesting to see it tin the dark.
I genuinely wish that this guy had more subscribers. I had been watching this guy for 2 years, and I love it. It's the perfect combination of educational and just fun. He knows what he's doing but is still in high school. He's a kid who loves what he's doing, and I love that. I'm 18 and in collage, and I wish I could do the same stuff he does. I know this sounds cringy, but I want him to see that he deserves more credit than he's got. keep it going and have fun.
Hi nick Leave the sirens at new settings, if there is a fire you know through your text's. Nice testing today. All you need for projector is a flat service as bumps can show up on high colour's well done. Put the spare ups on the house fire alarm as a backup to help prolong battery in firepanel. Have you seen here in UK we have switched plug sockets that will can switched to each one, which you can switch off without pulling plugs in tight spaces.
Next system test make the coding or the fire alarms Halloween themed and maybe do system test on Halloween also do system test on the house. It's a great idea!
They might look like it but definitely not brighter just shows up on camera brighter as they have a longer flash duration which is part of the recall problem I think I will be sticking to xenon strobes the LED ones are the ugliest thing I've ever seen lol
Mayb. it isn't legally required in my case as it isn't a CAN/ULC s537 verified system so it doesn't have to be perfectly legal however if I wanted to keep it as legal as possible other than that it would be recommended to turn it off
Those are probably commercially produced generators it's not possible for me to have a separate utility return and cool down delay my only thing I can do is have the transfer switch default to utility to return to utility as soon as power is present and then the generator can run for another set period of time
@@nics-systems-electric many automatic home transfer switches, along with most home backup generators will usually keep the generator running for 120-180 seconds after utility return, then unload them, and keep them running for 2-3 mins for cooldown.
I have done tests on battery backup before however the system is realistically only ever on battery backup for around 20 seconds before the generator starts and then it's no different than running on utility power
Hey Nic, I do want to say that the camera picks up the strobes 10x better at night then in the daytime, and the horn strobe in the main building, I think maybe it should be set to Medium volume, so it maybe a little louder in the small rooms but it won't be absolutely painful in the main area where the horn is blasting at, however, I am not sure if that device in particular has that setting, I think it does but correct me if I am wrong, because I know the SpectrAlert Advances have that setting for sure.
In my old school at night if the fire alarm went off it would turn all the lights on in the building to light way for evacuation that would be cool if you did something like that.
Can you please install an annunciator and a pull station and carbon monoxide siren detector and carbon monoxide strobe in the shed please and can also install more carbon monoxide siren and detectors in the garage plase.
Because it works perfectly fine for what I'm using it for. old PC likely wouldn't handle a Windows 10 upgrade and it's only used for security camera monitoring and access control operation not Internet web surfing or anything that would put it at significant risk
Love the content you post I would like to be able to email you if you can! I teach an electrical apprenticeship program and we are working on building a better fire alarm program to go with it and I would really appreciate some input!

Nice i have the same Onkyo stereo.. great video boss!! Cant wait for your house setup!!

love the vides to
I always wondered how old he was. Really impressive how good he is at this stuff
Just a recommendation, I would put the horn strobe in the small shed area, on the outside. It would be much more useful outside then inside.
Useful for what on the outside?
Fuck
Wow, keep up the great work Nic!
Your dog is hilarious. She dropping the log down the stairs and you zooming in on her with a dramatic silence stare was funny
I can’t wait till everything goes off with the house to
Question when you have your system set up in the house would you connect them together?
Maybe for supervisory eventually but not full alarm
whats the model of the co amber strobe?
The nighttime effect is f-ing epic
Hey, do you have an install video on your new projector? Just curious.
I do not

I have seen that with your receptacles
Im pretty new to the channel and was wondering how do you have the generator wired for emergency start
I have videos on installing it recently
27:45 do the teachers just allow you to bee on your phones during this kind of stuff
Next system test make the coding or the fire alarms Halloween themed and maybe do system test on Halloween also do system test on the house. It's a great idea!
The LED strobes are actually brighter than the ones on the horn strobes I say if those L-Series go get LED versions to replace them.
They might look like it but definitely not brighter just shows up on camera brighter as they have a longer flash duration which is part of the recall problem I think I will be sticking to xenon strobes the LED ones are the ugliest thing I've ever seen lol
Do you plan on disabling the audible silence for legal reasons? Also for next alarm i think 270SPO in shed or tower. Doing great!
Mayb. it isn't legally required in my case as it isn't a CAN/ULC s537 verified system so it doesn't have to be perfectly legal however if I wanted to keep it as legal as possible other than that it would be recommended to turn it off
Just wondering are you going to get another generator for the house?
Nope I'm not going to spend all of my own money on something for everyone
@@nics-systems-electric ok
16:35 all of the generators I test have a 120-180 sec utility return delay, and a 300 sec cooldown delay.

@@rayarsenault4774 I am aware but it's not possible with my set up
You should try doing a full fire alarm system test during a simulated power outage
I have done tests on battery backup before however the system is realistically only ever on battery backup for around 20 seconds before the generator starts and then it's no different than running on utility power
HO OMG

L series has low and high only
@@SodiumInduction-hv Oh okay, thank you!
@@IanGSully No problem
What do your neighbors think of all the lights and alarms?
Nothing we live behind a school so there's much worse things then my alarms to worry about
LETS GO BOIS 🗣️🗣️💯💯
22:00 UPS: Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Nic: SMACK*
UPS: Beep beep beep beep
LOL
Ayla: Drops stick down steps*
Also Ayla: Why it fall?
And also what breed of dog do you have?
German shepherd is the big one
@@nics-systems-electricnice I love he/she
Very cool!
i know i shouldn't assume but can i safely assume that you wont include your house in these tests to not disturb your family?
I'm sure it would be easy to find some point during the month when no one is home
In my old school at night if the fire alarm went off it would turn all the lights on in the building to light way for evacuation that would be cool if you did something like that.
Easy to integrate if you have lighting control systems however I don't
Put all of the strobes to their highest candela setting in the next monthly system test
Maybe could do that
Can you please install an annunciator and a pull station and carbon monoxide siren detector and carbon monoxide strobe in the shed please and can also install more carbon monoxide siren and detectors in the garage plase.
The small shed or the garage? Because the garage already had a co detector
How about you give him some money to do that?
The small shed
@@rianflynn2765 then no all that is expensive and there is no point of CO detection as it's not needed or annunciator
Do the co detektor
I have always thought you should pull all the pull stations and set off the smoke/heat detectors and see what all the errors would be😂
Wouldn't cause any errors would just show all three alarms
Bro why do you still run Windows 7 tho…
Because it works perfectly fine for what I'm using it for. old PC likely wouldn't handle a Windows 10 upgrade and it's only used for security camera monitoring and access control operation not Internet web surfing or anything that would put it at significant risk
@@nics-systems-electric perfectly good reason. Just was making sure you weren’t vulnerable to any attackers…
@@MisterBroadnaxHe has a separate computer for internet web surfing
Do you know rush e
You should upgrade your cameras to PoE
If someone would give money to do it maybe but it's still not possible to have wires ran for data to every location
@@nics-systems-electric Reolink has good good cameras for a fair price. I have got around 12 at my house and it has only cost me around $2000NZD
