Installing a security system in my garage

[@maxstechlab]

great video lokking forward to seeing the rest of it and it working keep it up

[@nics-systems-electric]

I will be sure to make a testing video once I get the keypad

[@jamesf7602]

This was fun for me to watch. When I got rid of ADT in my house I installed an Ademco by Honeywell hard wired alarm. For all my windows I have the door contacts along with a glass break sensor. Costs more but it doubled the security.

[@rondo122]

great videos, mate, enjoying your excellent channel

[@nics-systems-electric]

Thank you

[@siphonralarms9411]

Great job on this so far! That siren is one I’m hoping to get one day for my collection

[@fazir22]

Pickle I like you man your a cool dude young an very ambitious hard working and personally I see you becoming great at this stuff reminds me when I was a rookie in elevator. I was looking for someone to do my access control for two doors now I know but I don't mind give you the job thank you for the videos and stay safe best of luck buddy.

I have always learned “OL” means “Open line.”

[@dougmacdonald5849]

Good job

[@mightydave1345]

Good video. Its always odd to see people only put one resistor into there detectors, we use two in the UK.

[@Big-cc3nn]

Nice

[@ryanwoods4691]

Wow, I never knew this was coming! I'll edit this comment once I watch this video. I really like how it turned out. When do you plan on getting the keypad?

[@nics-systems-electric]

As soon as I can order one I will install it program the system and make a test video

Yes

I don't know how but you made me wonder if i would be able to fit through that small window last time i had my height and weight measured, i was apparently a little underweight for my height

[@gentexguy]

@@nics-systems-electric As someone with a Vista system, I completely agree. Honeywell has been selling the same system for well over a decade now and even though it still does its job fine, it looks so outdated now. The DSC Neo series have a very nice modern look to them.

[@vrryan6]

Knew it, i want to get a dsc neo.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Can’t remember if it was you but a few people noticed what was coming

[@980AJ]

You should add a fire alarm annunciator

[@nics-systems-electric]

Would be cool on one of my demo systems but for my real system it wouldn’t make any sense as the fire alarm panel is right beside the front door which I put it there on purpose so we wouldn’t need an annunciator if the fire alarm panel was in a different room not accessible from the outside of the building then I would

[@980AJ]

@@nics-systems-electric true but it would look cool but i know what you mean. Have a good day

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@980AJ true would look cool

[@Aaronproductions]

Nice, i’m a bit confused on the motion detector and door wiring though - if it’s normally closed, and the resistor is on one leg... then wouldn’t it also cause a trouble when it alarms? or does it not care about losing the resistance when in alarm?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Any open circuit would cause an alarm. When all the doors are closed the panel will see 5.6k ohm resistance and if it sees a closed circuit with no resistance it would be a trouble condition. So if it’s in alarm I don’t think it would see a trouble

[@nics-systems-electric]

But I’m honestly not too sure about much I find it a little confusing because I’m used to fire alarm systems that are normally open circuits

[@Aaronproductions]

@@nics-systems-electric Yeah, i’m pretty sure that method is for when the installers forget to put it at the end of the line, so they do the one leg trick at the panel to stop it from getting a trouble, and i mean it works... but it will give a trouble on an alarm. probably can do this for a normally closed circuit on an FACP too, but that would be a code violation, whereas security doesn’t really matter as long as the wiring isn’t dangerous lol i don’t understand why they would make it require a resistor at all if it has a normally closed circuit, because if the wiring was cut or damaged, it would be obvious because it would be open... but i guess it could also just be shorted out... so maybe the resistor does have a purpose in the end

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@Aaronproductions yeah I think it’s so if somebody just jump the wiring together before the EOLR there would be a trouble. Because if you shorted out the zone if somebody opened the door or set off the motion detector it would be pointless because the system wouldn’t know if you didn’t have a EOLR

[@PR-yp5mf]

@@nics-systems-electric You can use, and i strongly encourage you to, wire them as normally open zones, on the panel you are using, each zone can be set uniquely, eg the tamper you have is only a N/C switch. You may also opt for dual EOL wiring...watch how you wire the Fire Panel, make sure those outputs are to code before showing that video. so others will know how to do it! If you have questions reach out.

[@rizzocorp1]

Don’t know if you mentioned it in the video, but how much did you pay for the system, and where did you buy it?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Around 200 Canadian and I bought it from aartech

[@rizzocorp1]

@@nics-systems-electric nice. In the US it’s around the same price or a little more for me to buy wholesale.

[@theblueexitsign8249]

what is your thoughts on an motion activated, battery saving emergency light.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Should be in every emergency light I’ve always thought that they should be like that with a generator system and buildings with lighting control the lights are only on if there’s occupancy so emergency lighting should be the same
