I missed this test! I’m happy to see the series starting again
Wow I liked the fire alarms and I love it
It’s nice to see this again, I used to have the exact same system
Interesting system you got. I have an Ademco system (rebranded by ADT) in my house. Recently expanded the system into my shop. I added a motion, window and door contacts, and a break glass sensor.
That’s pretty cool, it’s in a way almost like the old System Test series!
Thank you! Yeah, it sorta gives off that vibe.
It’s nice to see the series return! Great video as always
Nice home system you have set up there. I look forward to seeing the expansions.
Didn’t expect to see this in my subscriptions box. Glad to see a new video on this system! If you ever consider adding an outdoor siren, I recommend the Ademco 702.
those sirens are branded as Elmdene over here in the UK, i have one on my security system, they’re used as extension speakers over here, so all the sounds the panel makes (Entry/Exit tones, alarm sounds, chime etc.) play through that :)
Interesting! Thanks for the info.
Those DSC systems aren’t too bad, my work actually uses them, my house doors utilize those old door buttons.
Great to see the security system again! Awesome test!
nice
NOICE
Great video on the demo, and neat system! 👍In the UK we have a siren and strobe outside as well to warn neighbours. Also I have the same speaker in my house too! However the panel programs the tones and sounds etc.
Thanks! Some system in the US have outdoor sirens. Most do not have strobes however.
Nice!
The strobe on our security systems is not bright it’s like dimmer than a wheelock7002t here is a video of mine (in case your interested) ua-cam.com/video/16C2ysRDnEI/v-deo.html
That’s interesting. I assumed the strobes were used to further grab attention. Maybe they’re just to help identify what house/building’s system is going off.
Yeah ikr you can barley see it in day as well.
Awesome video keep up the great work you should do more of these
Those are really cool security systems I have a DSC security system myself it's an alexor system! That's an older version It's hardwired we have a lot of those in the shop where I work we never use them.
have you ever been caught when testing public exit and emergency lights? if so, what happened? what's the worst they could do to you if you get caught or whatever? i'm thinking of doing it myself like you did in your old series. is it actually illegal to do? is it actually tampering or whatever? i've heard different things so i don't know what to believe. you seem to be the best one to ask because of your knowledge and experience in this field etc...
I have on few occasions. And I wouldn’t consider it “illegal.” At most, it’s tampering. And I think the worst that could happen is you get kicked out of the building. I don’t really encourage or discourage people testing and/or adjusting units in buildings. I feel if you have units, and know about them and want to do a simple test or adjust a head to point better than where it was previously, it can’t hurt anything. But for those that don’t know much and just want to do it anyway, that can lead to some problems. I’ve seen some test units they didn’t know had self-diagnostics and it lead them not being able to get the unit out of test. Or people accidentally breaking the test button so the unit cannot get out of test. Like I mentioned, I haven’t been caught a lot, but when I am I simply explain myself and what I’m doing. Doesn’t hurt to be honest. And I can always back myself up with my channel and videos to prove it. The responses I’ve received range from “oh ok” or “ok but just don’t do it again.” However once an employee threatened to call security on me. I’ve done this so long it doesn’t bother me, but for others they may not know exactly what they’re doing.
@@ExitSign250 are incandesent exit signs and emergency lights ever self diagnostic? i'm not sure if they ever had the tech for it back when it was common. i'm thinking that older buildings with older exit signs don't have self diagnostics? are more and more units self diagnotic based on your experience as the tech becomes more available and standard i imagine.
i only have one unit in my collection that is self diagnostic so if i think it's self diagnostic, i'll leave it alone though because of the way tech is going, more and more could have it and people may not know so i see why it's so important to really know what you're doing or first become friends with the store owner or something like that first. i know with my own self test unit, you just push the button for a second for a tiny self test so i think i'll push the button for only a sec to be on the safe side first, just in case it is a self testing unit. also i've learned a lot from your channel in terms of being able to recognize what unit is which and how to test each and things like that. also my height is 4 foot 5 inches so it's highly unlikely i'll ever be able to even reach any of them sadly which is fine. i can be more then happy with admiring them from a far and keeping my paws off where they should be. not much experience.
nice dsc system i wood love one myself.
I really like this system! How much do you plan to expand?
Thanks! I want to try and get a few more devices installed.
have you thought about doing a update video series on the exit signs you showed in the past of your exit sign set up and your exit and emergency series? i'd love to know how the ones you showed held up and all that. it'd be a good test of a products quality and things like that i'd imagine. just my opinion of course. i'm sure many are wondering the same thing.
my life has been a lie
i never thought alarms actually had control panels. i always thought it was in the keypad
thanks for the vid tho, i needed it for the siren
I saw you in the vid @S.E.R safety
I had this system in my old house, and my god I want to mess with it so bad but it’s prob *LONG GONE.*
Nice!
I used to have that system when I first moved into my house!
My old school has this same system, I remember once I was walking past the school one day after hours and the system went off, I presume one of the motion detectors detected me through a window and set it off
What app do you use to do your thumbnails as I like the font text (I’m not copying you btw)
That siren is a Bosch D116.
haha your using an envisa link too, I have one on my honeywell/ademco panel. Pretty handy though
Will you ever add the security stuff you got from Ser safety? Nice video!
Thanks! I don’t plan on using those devices since I want them to make a demo at some point. System what I’ll install on my home security system will be permanent, I don’t want to use my collection for that.
May you make a System Test with the Dictograph Sensors on the DSC System
Very cool man I liked the old videos you did of it
what is the purpose of a flood light? how are they different from emergency lights etc....? been trying to understand what they are used for, when they are used vs a emergency light etc... if anyone can help clear things up, that'd be great.
A flood light is a light fixture designed to brightly light up a space. They’re mostly found outdoors, but you can occasionally find them indoors. They function like any other light fixture. An emergency light is a light designed to illuminate in a power outage. It’s main purpose is to help people evacuate a building during a power outage, however it can also light up areas for convenience in power outages when there isn’t an emergency. In short, flood lights serve as light fixtures, while emergency lights only operate during power outages.
yay!
☻I like these videos! Keep this series up!
Hi there ExitlampfixturefirealarmULlistedfiremarshallinspectedcfllistedverysafeexitmarkingunitcombination250 how come you have changed your upload schedule form 2weeks/video to 3w/video?
It’s from beyond the code.
Hey! Well, it wasn’t intended. I still like my schedule to be every other Saturday, but sometimes I get caught up with other projects. I have videos planned and I hope they’ll be able to stay in line with the schedule.
Oh ok, I understand as a teen who is 16-18 years old will be busy and such, don’t feel pressurised into uploading, do it at the pace you want to, your videos are really high quality and you must put a lot of work into them! :)
You should add a smoke detector to the system, one of my parents friends had a system like this with system sensor i3 smoke detectors, that would be cool to see in the future
I’ve been debating on adding a fire alarm portion to my security system for a few years now. But if I do decided to add that in I will definitely make a video!
@@ExitSign250 oh nice!
Great video 😀👍👍
how's it going old friend great video btw!
How come you took down your door closer vid “tell door closer mounted sorta” and your gibcloser video.
Every so often I remove old videos that I don’t like. It may be because they are unrelated to my channel’s content, or I say things I shouldn’t in the video. I removed the Gibcloser video since it was an unfair review, (plus I had no idea what I was talking about) and the other video I removed since it just was a weird random video.
Very cool!
I live with a pre owned standard dsc system while i don’t know if I should get a new keypad or wireless stuff for new code use
I have the pc5010 with the same panels but never got it to arm, it had like 4 trobules.
Nice video
we have a dsc system pretty much identical to yours. the siren though for some reason gives me the chills every time i hear it. am i the only one?
Yeah, security sirens have always creeped me out for some reason. Not really sure why. I’ve always had a fear that I would accidentally set off the alarm and get the cops called and get arrested. And I guess hearing the siren makes me always think the cops are coming! Haha.
@@ExitSign250 other security sirens don't really scare me at all, i'm actually fascinated by them. this one in particular, there's just something so scary about it. and everytime i watch alarm videos with the same siren as mine, my stomach sinks. what's even scarier is we have two of them. one on opposite sides of the house. when i was younger, i accidentally clapped and set the alarm off. i was standing directly under one of the sirens, and it was so loud i ran away crying lol.
and also a food for thought. when the alarm gets set off, both sirens go out of sync, and gradually go back into sync again. any clue on why that is? makes it even more creepier.
They both have their own siren drivers inside them that will individually sound each siren. They just sometimes will sync up with each other briefly then go back out of sync. That happens with a lot of things. Another unrelated example of this is if you’ve ever been at a red light in a turning lane with multiple cars and their turn signals are on. You’ll noticed every so often a few car’s signals will be in perfect sync then go right back out of sync. It’s a similar phenomenon like with the sirens.
@@ExitSign250 got it, that makes more sense. we are thinking about getting some sort of dmp, concord 4 or some sort of vista, because unfortunately adt will not monitor the old dsc's anymore. idk if you have heard of *6, master code, then 4, which sounds the siren and keypads for a few seconds, but doesn't contact the monitoring company. we had an issue with the landline and were told to call them, they told us to do this. after failing to make contact with the monitoring company (because it's not supposed to....) they immediately scheduled an appointment to upgrade us, when there really isn't anything wrong with the dsc system. the only real trouble we have with it sometimes (which adt is not aware of) is sometimes when armed in stay, opening a door could take a few seconds for the system to realize it was opened, like the zone light comes on the keypad but it doesn't countdown for atleast 5 seconds. however in every other mode (stay instant for example) it's immediate as it's supposed to, so no real issue there. unfortunate we have to get it replaced though, dsc served us well with no problems at all since 1997. on a completely unrelated note, i did not know these systems can actually be firmware upgraded to use new wireless devices and even the really new stuff like the neo keypad. nice for dsc to support it still lol.
It would be cool if you replaced the siren with a white Gentex Commander 3
Nice video i have honeywell accenta:)
Hi does it need a master code to silence a fire alarm test that is triggered by pressing the two fire fire alarm button on the panel, or regular user code will work?
I’m not sure but I’d assume any user code would work.
Hey ES250! I recently got a panel from my uncle that came from a fire station, and I’m not really sure how to wire it (pull station/alarm wise) and I was wondering if you could possibly help? If not that’s totally fine. Thanks!
Hey! I’ll try to help out as best as I can. First off, whats the model and brand of the panel?
ExitSign250 Thank you so much! It’s a Simplex 4001 panel. It’s pretty old.
Ok! That’s a great panel. For wiring pull stations , heat detectors, and 2-wire smoke detectors, wire them to the terminals labeled ZONE #. Wire the + of the device to ZONE # + and the - of the device to ZONE # -. As for notification appliances, use the terminals labeled SIG. Wire the + of the horn, strobe, or horn strobe to the + of SIG and the - of the horn, strobe, or horn strobe to the - of SIG. I hope this helps, and let me know if you need more help.
ExitSign250 Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your help. I’m looking around on ebay for an alarm to replace my old alarms (that sadly broke D:) so do you recommend anything?
ItsAlxx Sure thing! I’m glad I could help, and I hope it all works. You could try to find some Simplex devices to match with your panel.
can invisulink be used on a basic ademco 4110? Looking for cheap push notification on alarms. Thank you
I believe the Envisalink is only compatible with DSC and Honeywell systems.
Does not work on the 4110 panel. Works on 10P, 15P, and 20P as well as some commercial panels. You could feasibly upgrade the board to a Vista 20P and not have to replace anything else though. You just have to be able to cable Ethernet for an Internet connection to it.
@@ZacharyCordova thanks I am going to get a wifi push water monitor for $15 ebay and use that for alarm push notification. A simple relay on siren out to water contact does the trick, it's all I need.
I really hope you hit 4K Subs soon! so we got apx 50 subs to go!
Can someone tell me the difference of Stay and Away mode?
Stay mode is for when occupants will remain in the building. So only doors, windows, and break glass detectors will cause an alarm. Away mode does the same, but interior motion detectors can also cause an alarm. There can be other devices set not to activate in stay mode if needed, but it’s usually just to bypass motion detectors.
what model is that siren?
How come you have not uploaded in a while will you upload this Saturday?
Hey! I know, I haven’t been consistent in uploading videos recently. I’ve been working on a video for 3 weeks now that *should* be uploaded Saturday. It was planned to be uploaded sooner but I’ve run into some problems with it. And I have other videos made and planned after this one. I hope to get back on track!
Oh ok 👌 thank you for letting me know
I like securitas system :)
thats a weird looking alarm keypad
Why didn’t ya see us entering the code it’s not real life you kno
Love it
Can you do a video on those expanaions
Once they’re done, yes. I was planning on it.
Ok you should add a glass break sensot
Sensor
3 weeks of not posting
Petunia Skunk DUDE STOP!!!! you know he has a life too dude he doesn’t have to always make videos like every day so you can watch
Calm down
Petunia Skunk but you think he has to upload every week he doesn’t he can do it when he wants cause it’s his channel
Sometimes I get caught up with other projects. I’d like to keep my schedule of uploading every other Saturday, but that doesn’t always happen. I have new videos planned and I hope I can get them uploaded in time.
Nice!
