Grocery store I used to work for, 25 years ago, had the same type of security system. Just turn the key to activate the alarm and lock the door behind you.

This is a very interesting system, i would like to see it after restoration.

Starting to make me wonder what grandmaw had hiding in that house

Shame it's not purple though 😉

CZcams just recommended me this video, and it reminded me of Sim Lim Tower in Singapore as, the last time I visited it, it had a vintage fire alarm system that I believe was installed during construction, and it was a manual or analogue system with lots of knobs and buttons, compared to the digital systems I was accustomed to seeing, so I took as much photos as I could and I think those photos are somewhere on my NAS. Besides that, I remember seeing a vintage Philips surveillance camera in one of the lift lobbies (edit: at the nearby Sim Lim Square, not Tower), which was somehow still powered on (it had a power indicator) but I didn't think the camera was connected to any video input.

Fire Burglary Instruments? FBI.

I didn't know these alarms even existed in homes back then

I'd expect a system from the 70s to use electric bells or mechanical buzzers instead of an electronic siren. I suppose the siren could have been upgraded.

Top of the line

I was absolutely mad on burglar alarm systems when I was young. I cant count how many stand alone and wired systems I bought and hooked up in my room. There are holes from wire clips, magnetic contacts, control panels and PIRs over my childhood room. I was one weird kid.

Just came across this,really fascinating video on vintage technology, thanks! I wondered: do the windows have contacts on also? Clever idea having the beam as internal detection, in case an intruder got past the contact system. Very impressive and informative vid, any more on this wd be interesting

Thanks for the video! I used to install Brinks home security systems almost 20 years ago. Fun times! I really enjoyed installing them. Every house was different and had its own challenges. The more difficult installs were older homes - the wood was like concrete! You could easily burn up drill bits drilling into the door frames and such. I avoided using wireless contacts unless I absolutely had to. Wired systems were more reliable and you didn’t have to worry about changing out batteries in the sensors or false alarms. I’d like a video that looks more closely at the panel in the closet if possible. Thanks!

Never seen something like this before. Super fascinating. Thanks for sharing this!

When I was a kid in the mid 80’s I seen one go off in this big old house. It sounded like school bells and was so loud it hurt my ears and all these bright lights came on inside the house and all around the outside of the house. There was a trip wire or something running along the top of the fence and maybe an animal crawling over it set it off.

Now u have to install another system to protect this one cuz it would be ashame for this one to be destroyed by a burglar

Why are you filming in PORTRAIT orientation?

Very cool seeing someone else with one of these! I’ve got a bunch of the newer style 4012/8012 boards and an older 4000/8000, but there’s something up with my programmer I need to fix before I can use them. I’ve got the programming manual for them on paper that I can scan in if you need it.

I remember working on these suckers, ha ha ha, I still have some of those key switches

Haha, "each kitchen"! 😅 Yeah, but I have been in friends' houses that did and do have 2 kitchens! I love that kind of house though it's a very uncommon design!

"It has these on every single door." Wow, interesting that she would think it was "necessary" to arm every pantry, bathroom, and furnace closet door, etc., in her house!

I watched ExitSign250's video about the vintage Dictograph system and now i keep seeing these old rare vintage alarm systems, i love it

When will you do a test of the Simon xt

Test the fire alarm side of panel

You sound like boethiah is a general VR player

U sound like boethiah please a general VR

I'm suprised that system doesn't have a bell box appliance. When i was a child (in the 70s), my family lived in a house that had a very similar alarm system installed. It didn't have a siren, but it did have an incredibly loud bell box on the side of the house. When it went off, it sounded like someone was robbing a bank😂

I expected to hear an old AC buzzer

I don't like the voice, but it is a cool alarm system

POLICE

I guess you’re adding a motion sensor

awesome system, what detector are you replacing that one with?

You don't need to hide the pin. If it's a one protecting your home, you'll have to hide it.

My smoke detectors went off at Saturday because the eggs were burned and then fire department arrived

I actually like this voice better because the older one talks to fast and this one actually says words slower so my grandpa can understand beacuse he is very old and the voice is working well for them and my grandparents used to have an adt impassa but my grandpa hated it but this one is much better than adt

This is the Voice my grandma has on her alarm system

Medical is also used when you pass out

Wow that is very nice! The ProA7Plus is very convenient panel!

cool

Nice System on the demo board. My house was Prewired and Installed with a DSC PC1555MX CP-01 and a DSC Fixed LCD Keypad. I Don't remember the Siren's Model Number but it is a DSC. It didn't came with wired Contacts or motions but they still have the Wires for the Zones

Can you do a System test of the Qolsys IQ4. It works with compatible DSC PowerG Sensors because Qolsys is owned by the same company that owns Digital Security Controls, Ltd (DSC)

That's a copy cat of great adt

Any update on your grandmothers?

This kinda stuff always interested me. I'm currently looking for houses and I love seeing the old security stuff in them because they are mostly from the 80s
