Fire Alarm Monitoring

[kurnal]

Is the use of a Dualcom unit a reasonable and secure means of combining signals from intruder and fire alarms? It should overcome issues such as the monitoring of lines as it will automatically switch to GSM if the hard wired line is unavailable for some reason? 

The standby time can be specified to match that of the fire alarm system, and any issue  in respect of unwanted fire alarms jeopardising the intruder reliability and response is not really a fire safety concern?

And in any case is the integrity of the connection to the ARC relevant anyway now that many English brigades will only turn out on a 999?

Just asking...

Davo, Is Spanish Inquisition not racist? Should one talk about the Christian Inquisition, or the inquisition of Wallace at the Tower of London?  (Could the process be re-introduced for London I/Os who get the concept of responsible person wrong?)

I would think not the Spanish Inquisition was basically confined to Spain (other Inquisitions were available) however it achieved special notoriety due to the methods it used and the enthusiasm it demonstrated in using them.

However you do raise an interesting point on the implicit racism of the title, now what about the Scottish Parliament?
