They are too big for my liking, I think I would rather have a mortise nightlatch with euro cylinder, and or, electric strike, if I needed a latch. Obviously, the level of security would only be as good as a door handle though.

Hi, Yes, the headsets are obviously designed for loud commercial environments. To add pictures When you post (as you are typing now) Scroll down You will see "Additional Options" and "Attach Files" Click "Manage attachments" and you can upload them there. (You may wish to resize...

Something like this, perhaps :D

I think that the portables are better value for money because the car sets can only be used in the car, and if you wished to remain discreet, you would have to remove/cover it up somehow.

I didn't intend to patronise, but if the frequency that you are using abroad coud require a licence (eg Spanish radio licence), and you do not have one, then you could arrested/fined/charged etc. Ah right - in the pictures and in videos, the DP series appeared to be massive. Ha :D

The only advantage that I can see if being able to carry the radio in a seperate bag, or leave it on a table say (within 10 metres) and nobody will see wires.

Have you? The Ofcom licences permit UK use only. How can you possibly know that your frequency isn't being used in an overseas airport? You could be getting yourself into trouble, if you are not authorised to use the frequency. What is the DP3400/3600 like? Is is much better than the...

Did you buy the camera? I have one :)

The question is : Why would you want to this earpiece? :) You have a box on the end of it at either end.

Hang on a minute folks! These are Licenced Radios and your licence from Ofcom only permits you to use them in the UK, so taking them all over europe, you are not covered to use them abroad. How can you possibly know what frequency Joe Bloggs has programmed into his blank "channel 1"...

Has anyone noticed how secure hotel rooms are? Deadlock? Nope - just a yale style latch Alarm? None either CCTV? Not always Static Security? Not on all hotels It doesn't matter whether there is a swipe/prox card with nice pretty lights that change colour, it still doesn't change the...

Just to make it clear, I do not have an install taking place at this present time. The thread was just a matter of interest. Feel free to post suggestions below. Lets base the replies on a "money no object" scenario to open answers a little more.

How reliable would you say that the technlology is, based on a system that involved a "reader" (of any type), a seperate controller, mains powered and with a battery backup? Is the controller likely to mal function, or is the chance generally quite small, do you think?

Key - can be lost or locked in the building (if a nightlatch is used) Code - the code entry can be observed by a potential person aiming for un-authorised access Biometric - an electrical fault or mal function on the control panel can occur [regardless of a backup power supply] If an...

"What is your favourite lock?" is like saying "what is your favourite kitchen utensil?" Is it a knife, fork, spoon, corkscrew, bottle opener or whisk? Different locks serve different purposes. Some use a latch, some a deadbolt, and some wrap around. My preferred lock for a wooden...
