At long last I am able to return to an interesting box of Texecom sensors and other equipment which I first wrote about some considerable time ago.
I thought I’d start with another video, just to show you what I have got and to set the scene, and then I’m going to work through each item and write about as well as hopefully accompanying with some short videos. I’m not giving up on the blog though as I still think it’s easier to find this sort of thing when it’s written about as well as on a video.
If anyone in particularly interested in hearing about any of these items then please let me know and I’ll start with those, otherwise I’ll work through them one at a time.
I’m still quite new to the videoing business, so apologies for the limited production values, I’ll see if I can improve that too as we go along. However I was keen to get something out there as a start.
More soon!
Universal Discovery Methodology 
I believe the AMQD is a dual detector, using microwave and PIR. We have one in the kitchen as it covers a conservatory and I felt a normal PIR might be susceptible to false alarms, given the sun and reflections. Two LEDs light up either side, one lights if the PIR has detected movement and the other lights up if the microwave detector has seen movement and it only signals back to the panel if both detect together, or at least within a few seconds of each other. Never had a false alarm, but then again we might not have had with a normal PIR.
