  That cover is molded into a classic Fresnel lens, similar to one found on a traditional lighthouse. In this case, it would be trying to direct the photons from the point source into a uniform, parallel set outward.

  I remember, my grandma‘s house in Germany, had a security system, and you would arm it with the key on the outside and disarm it with the key when you come back. When you’re inside, there is a button that you pressed, which would arm the system, and then I believe You would go down to the main panel, which was halfway down the stairs and disarm it that way, or when the siren went off, you would do the same. Didn’t call the police, it was just a noisemaker, so it probably is a lot older than the security systems that I’m used to today. The main panel downstairs also had a key to arm and disarm if you wanted. I believe the siren was on the outside, and the alarm on the inside was just a loud beeping or something. At least that is what I have been told. I have no clue what brand it was.

  There were days that the heat in my attic would trigger a heat detector. It can get really hot in some of those places. Also it can get really cold in there too. Just the floor of the attic was insulated along with all other parts of the house. I don't live there any more but it would be interesting to see how much of a difference insulating that attic roof would make. Of course above the living room is a gigantic crawl space that I was never in (you could fall 8 to 12 feet if you fall through and it is a dark claustrophobic space)

  Worked on so many of these things on the east side of Cleveland back in the day, suburbs, like Shaker Heights, Bratenahl, Pepperpike, Beechwood, Moreland Hills, all the upscale older old money, Eastside Cleveland, neighborhoods, full of mansions and big homes, interesting note here the city of Pepperpike even had direct connect phone lines to the City Hall for security systems, they didn’t fuck around with even giving you protection back in the 60s and 70s lots of big estates and old money

  About the glass break detector put into an outlet cover, a lot of burglar alarm companies not only shoved glass breaks into outlets, they also made a version where a internal siren could be inside an outlet cover. pretty neat

  That is some pretty cool old equipment! My former eleme tary school had something basic like that, one green and one red indicator on a panel in the boiler room with nothing more than a toggle switch and "hold" button to arm it.... I had seen it done.... green light on you pushed and held the "hold" button, flipped the "arm" toggle, held "hold" for a few seconds and released.... You exited through a pre determined path out of the building. I hope if they are going to that extent to renovate they put in a proper security system as well as an actual fire alarm system, even if just conventional zoned and not addressable as well as one of those newer residental fire sprinkler systems. A house this size and this well built deserves that kind of protection.

  The extra magnet on the window you noticed is so the system can be armed with the window opened slightly for air circulation. My Grandmothers house had this. The open window height isn't enough to climb through so raising or lowering the window any further triggers the alarm. The house also had pressure mats under the carpets and photoelectric sensors that looked like electric outlets. Cool stuff!

  I worked for a gas station in PA that was built in the 1950's and had a Dictograph Security alarm that had the same cover plate that looks like a shield with the white and red light with a key switch by the front door. It had a dialer and a bell like the one you showed in the video.

  Correction: Some of these did have improvised stay/away modes depending on how they were installed. In some installs, they'd put a toggle switch in the master bedroom suite (bedroom, bath, closet) that would let you toggle on/off the rest of the indoor sensors, along with a keyswitch for the alarm to arm/disarm. On some newer systems, they did something similar, with instant / delay being owner-selectable by a toggle switch. Not true home & away "modes" but it did the trick

  Yes there was a rotary switch where the control panels were located to select “Normal, Away, Night” modes. It was removed for some reason. You can actually see it inside of the burglary panel in this video.

  1:40 Honeywell rebranded a lot of Wheelock's older alarms. Strobes, 7002/Ts, even speaker strobes and the like. Basically Wheelock's entire product line at the time had a Honeywell equivalent it seemed. Personally, I have like 3 of those SC807Bs brand new.

• 
  @TFEAS-093 күн бұрын

  Strobes are amazing. But especially the old ones. Even though they dont flash for a couple of milliseconds, these would be great for warning people because of the brightness and timing. Similar to a rotary fire truck light.
