@Winged_Bingus_on_VR Yup I grew up in Irvine - the town this is in - and it is built on the site of Alfred Nobel's old Dynamite factory where my papa used to work when he was younger. it has sat doing nothing since 2003 and is unreachable unless you are to walk down the beach from Stevenston. the bridge that originally connected it is closed off and is only used by the young team to jump off into the river.
Exploring with Alec you walked past a sensor coming in through the glass!! 😂😂 it was only a matter of time also there is alarm pressure pads under the carpets ! Just so you know ! We found blueprints in here in 2017 of all the alarm lay out and wiring
Abandoned for 16 years? God! It's in excellent condition. Got a science centre in Toronto and its massive. Wonder how much to get in. Nice and educational Alec. Thank you .
I'd imagine it was the loud sound at 26:08 that caused the alarm because the alarm went off exactly 25 seconds afterwards, which is quite a nice number to be completely random
Sketchy the alarm was already set off you can hear the beeping and like the other guy said the owner has to press a button saying everything’s ok and if the owner does not press the button the. That means that the alarm will sound
That Very high pitched siren is a Masterblaster. A 172db Motorised Siren that if set off at close distance can cause ear damage. Your lucky you weren't close to it lol
It felt as if my ear drums had blown that thing was loud lol, but glad to have finished the explore before setting it off and it was fun running away from it too lol
@@ExploringwithAlec Hahah that's the joys of exploring! It was a Very Good video enjoyed every second of it especially when you were looking round every corner for Motion sensors the suspense was real! 1+ Like. Keep up the Good work. (:
Thank you for this comment LOL, I have two of these on my house, and a Carter M2... and I had my Pioneer HDJ 2000's on for this video, they are mind blowingly loud, 2 is just insane!
I feel like I owe you an entry fee I got so much from that visit! Walked down and looked in from outside a few times but that was fascinating, can’t believe they just left it all behind!! Anyway glad I stumbled upon your video cheers.
127db Klaxon Masterblaster motorised siren! At least I think so. It does sound a bit underpowered and lower pitch for a MasterBlaster so it could be a different motorised siren.
For a building that’s been abandoned for 16 years it’s not in that bad condition. Most abandoned building would be totally trashed and vandalised long before that
Exploring with Alec Our attempt in 2017 was a bit easier then this.. no fencing no security van there. In through a vent hole at the back where the ventilation plant is. In the video they have blocked the hole inside by putting something against it.
I ventured over here during lockdown as it would have been more quiet than normal. They now have big plywood biards about 10 foot high along the windows so now you cant get in
Walked form Steven stone beach to there back in 2016. Never went in but it was pretty cool to go on top of it and take a look around. We also had a pick mic there
That constant beeping earlier in the video and at the nearly end of the video and think that beeping from the keypad is basically meaning its armed i think and when you guys made that loud sound in the video probobly the sound detectors finally knew you guys were in the building so it took a moment and then bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepp
Could you tell me how you got there? Me and a few mates are looking to go but I don’t know the route you took to get there, any help would be appreciated
I think I may know how to turn it off. Go to the panel find the keys disconnect the power where the panel is and pull the backup battery. Thats usally how I do it if I dont know the codes to the security system, It looks pretty newly installed the alarm system.
Jaces Media Group if there was a bell box, it likely to have a backup battery as well and you would need the code as alarm panels nowadays don’t have keyswitches!
As soon as you open the alarm panel it will immediately go off, as there will be a tamper switch With most alarm systems, even if it is disarmed, you can’t open up the panel or sensors without it going off (you have to enter a special code before the system will let you do that without going off, and in most cases, the building owner does not know what this code is, only the alarm company does)
Honestly, the biggest waste of money I've ever seen in Scotland. I remember paying stupid money to get in and what you got was waaaaay overpriced. Think I spent £4 on a rubber, that was in 2002 as well. 18 years later, it looks exactly the same 🙄.

This shouod be turned into a youth centre for the younger people instead of sitting rotting away

That moment when the alarm goes off and everyone forgets their name, what planet they live on and where the exit is hahaha
Thats exactly how it went mate lol, i even headed back in the way and realise i was going the wrong way haha, was quite loud though
Did this in 2017 and there was no alarm none of that fencing.

Thanks would love to goto Toronto maybe one day 👌
We went just after it opened and was a crazy price to get in, think somewhere in the region of £15 per adult so we just did an about turn.
@@gazbert88 Should of went with me i gave myself a free tour lol
@@ExploringwithAlec Welp, bit of a irony here but the science centre in Toronto is now abandoned too.
If hearing a keypad beeping in distance, just run as fast as possible.
Everybody gangstas until the building starts to scream
Lol

No the loud sound is the alarm

@@plymouthfury6840 There is beeping throughout the video, must have a very long timer

Wow
16 years? It's in insanely good shape
For a building that’s been abandoned for 16 years it’s not in that bad condition. Most abandoned building would be totally trashed and vandalised long before that
I know but it is a fair hike to get to it
Take a shot every time he says sensors
Suggestion for security - don't have any alarm noise in the building, just have one that goes off in your office. Then pop in and catch them cold !
Silent alarm you mean?
@@ExploringwithAlec Yes, but shhh............unless you are going to use your experience and head for a career in security !
@@peterraikman might be an idea i could get into more budings then lol

Nice to see the hands-on solar kit I built around 2005 is still on display. :-(
You made that? Go back and get it cause that is yours
Can I see the time code
@@janiyota6576 on table, in shot from 16:15
@@tuopeeks thx
How'd you manage that? Were you creeping about this building too? It shut up shop in 2003.
Great stuff guys! Not many will get in here
Thanks it Took us a couple of attempts, first time was a mess we set of the alarm strait away lol
Exploring with Alec Our attempt in 2017 was a bit easier then this.. no fencing no security van there. In through a vent hole at the back where the ventilation plant is. In the video they have blocked the hole inside by putting something against it.
Urbandoned You guys still need to attempt it if you ever go back that way. Just remember what I told u from my visit. It’s a looong walk
At 25:46 when I cranked up the volume, I heard a keypad beeping in distance.
If that’s a security system it probably has trouble
@@omp_official8 probably a fire alarm panel.
Burglar alarms don’t normally continuously beep like that, in the UK at least
I ventured over here during lockdown as it would have been more quiet than normal. They now have big plywood biards about 10 foot high along the windows so now you cant get in
Walked form Steven stone beach to there back in 2016. Never went in but it was pretty cool to go on top of it and take a look around. We also had a pick mic there
What route did you take to get into The big idea. Is it Stevenson or Kilwinning. Really want to go inside big idea.
That constant beeping earlier in the video and at the nearly end of the video and think that beeping from the keypad is basically meaning its armed i think and when you guys made that loud sound in the video probobly the sound detectors finally knew you guys were in the building so it took a moment and then bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepp
Yes we knew the place was alarmed hence why we were moving with caution because of the sensors
Wasn’t it counting down, if it was then that is a long countdown
@@Ghost_TMS probably a fire alarm panel with a fault, I wouldn’t expect a burglar alarm system to continuously beep like that here
I remember visiting this place back in the day.
The alarm keypad must be in that room at 14:42 because that’s when you hear it get really loud
I think it’s the fire alarm panel on the wall at 14:40 but it may be the Microtech Galaxy MK3 intruder alarm keypad below it.
@@alarmmuseum true
@@alarmmuseum I was thinking ot could have been a fire alarm panel
Could you tell me how you got there? Me and a few mates are looking to go but I don’t know the route you took to get there, any help would be appreciated
I feel like I’ve been here before
It’s just like portal 1 and 2 man
Over the weekend I got some shots of this over the otherside with my 300mm lens. Really want to get up close one day shame about its remote location
I think I may know how to turn it off. Go to the panel find the keys disconnect the power where the panel is and pull the backup battery. Thats usally how I do it if I dont know the codes to the security system, It looks pretty newly installed the alarm system.
Or you can always dodge the sensors like we did until the end lol
Exploring with Alec It’s just a way of doing it on ademco if you don’t want thescreamers going off.
Jaces Media Group if there was a bell box, it likely to have a backup battery as well and you would need the code as alarm panels nowadays don’t have keyswitches!
A'right Ethan Hunt 😂😂😂
As soon as you open the alarm panel it will immediately go off, as there will be a tamper switch
With most alarm systems, even if it is disarmed, you can’t open up the panel or sensors without it going off (you have to enter a special code before the system will let you do that without going off, and in most cases, the building owner does not know what this code is, only the alarm company does)
Make a great drinking game this... Take a shot everytime the guy says the word sensors.
Ohhhh its a science centre i always though it was the telly tubbies house lol
What was that place called? I kinda want to do research on it
The Big Idea
Hello. Who is with you today?
I live in irvine evey time i look at it when am at the beach wondering what's in side now i know
Excellent explore. Well done.

Is that in Irvine 😂
Yes
What happened to this place.
It would have been good if you would have shown some of the stuff written on the walls....
The place was alarmed was trying not to stray to far in case we set it off which that happened near the end anyway
@@ExploringwithAlec I understand. Urban exploring can be risky, just be careful and thanks for the videos...
@@donettemiller7817 Thanks for watching got a back log to edit and upload keep an eye out for more!

Awesome place there guys well done
Thanks
How do you know where the sensors are?

what was that thing beeping?
An Alarm
