Too funny ![]() The servo owner hit his panic button, which are audible for those who dont know, scareing them off. Apparently they forgot to disconnect the line before taking off :hihi:

And shouldnt ever be. Irrespective it serves them right for getting caught. Theives are rarely smart. ![]()

This is where you are wrong. Panic alarms are Audible Duress and Hold Up alarms are "silent" And when police are sent, they are advised as such.

I too have been in the industry for near around 13yrs, installing, designing, specifying & selling security systems. Rarely, very, very rarely are panic/duress audible. The only time they should be audible is if the system only operates locally. Domestic panels (ness/dl/nx/c&k/ademco/dsc/solution etc) generally come with a default program for audible panic/duress due to the high volume that are installed as local systems. Send them to base and disable the noisemakers. Industry standard.
edit - sorry to stray off topic. Yes, those drop kick's were dumb. |

They should have just lit a match to deal with the thieves - watch as the flame catches up to the tanker, then BOOM!

I have worked in the service station industry for sevral years at sevral different servos....... The panic button and duress buttons are one and the same button, there is no other button, obviously the remote button and the "under the counter button" both do the same thing, set off a silent alarm. Only a complete fool would install an audible alaram (other than fire alarm) at a servo.

The servo owner could have one of many alarm systems, so my info has a higher probability of being wrong. Not to mention you have to consider how the tech programmed the alarm when it was installed. So yeah, could have been silent, maynot have been. We use mainly Solutions(commercial & residential), Challengers and Concepts. We dont use any others really, unless we do a take over and use existing equipment. I just realised your are in ACT, here in NSW we've had a big shake up in the industry and are about to again in September when they introduce more units into our license testing and RPL's. I could ramble on for ages about some of the things in the new legislation. They are looking to/or starting to leave in droves already. Its going to be interesting to see the NSW industry reduced once more. ![]() Quote:
