Amazing expansion, having LF Sounders is the best thing for a house since they wake people up faster, about the candela thing you said earlier where you never saw people change it, ideally you want to set the candela appropriately to the size of the area, in your case of 15 in the bedrooms and 75 in the hallways it’s perfect
i genuinely wanna do this for a future home with my parents and i will reside in, especially since imo, it's much safer and more tolerable than the average smoke alarm in every household. i even got ths inspiration from my dad as he works on fire alarms and fire extinguishers. props to you. ❤
I love how clean and organized your system is. At my place of employment our panels and organization of what does what and what each building has are terrible. When pressure washing the floors the mist that comes off will set off the alarms.
Thanks for another great video. Please excuse the "dumb" question as we don't have these combo sounders/lights in Australia. Do they use a xenon flash tube or LED? Our commercial systems use a Emergency Warning and Intercommunication System or EWIS System as part of the alarm system. They have two tones over a dedicated PA system, being a beep beep for "alert" and a whoop whoop for "evacuate". There's a time delay between the two. These can also have voice announcements for each, and a microphone at the panel for PA. The lights are two colours, orange for alert, and red for each, if used. This is a simplified explanation. Lol.
You are the only one on youtube,posting so much and good content of fire alarms und security systems (also with installation). Please keep on doing it as long as you can. I am watching all of your videos.
It's pretty cool that you're allowed to have a commercial grade fire alarm system to protect your house! Has more to offer than a standard residential smoke alarm system
I find it hilarious how you have a full on fire alarm system in your house with horn strobes in every room. Guess you can never be too safe. Lol dont get me wrong though, I also think it's awesome that you have such a passion for fire alarms, and that your parents allow you to hse their home as a test bench. 😂
Well yes our old set up wasn't working everyone in the house would rather have a reliable system than the residential ones that went off every time you cooked so it needed a replacement of some kind might as well do one that others can enjoy and I can make videos
Awesome video. If you don’t mind me asking though, why did you choose Low Frequency Sounder Strobes over the normal L Series horn strobes? EDIT: I also noticed in the rough-in video that you sliced the drywall below the hallway sounder… I also always accidentally damage the drywall during electrical installs and what do I do? I leave it for the painters to deal with.
Low frequency devices are designed for sleeping areas to wake sleeping occupants much better that is the whole purpose for why they are made. They also are less annoying and don't bug the dogs as bad.
I have so many bad memories from these types of alarm ( the regular one that kind of scream) They are so loud which is that we need at my first school since it was a school for deaf and hard of hearing people....
in the USA, more specifically California what are the requirements for this type of system in a house? I installed a similar system in my house a while back with system sensor HR horns in each bedroom and a wheelock AH weatherproof horn on code 3 outside full volume. Is this against any rules or does anything need to be changed? Also wanted to note that the panel i use is a burg/fire combo which is a Napco Gem-P3200 which came with my house but is being replaced with a new one later this month because it is too old. Let me know what you have to say, thanks!
Did the house come pre-installed with the box mounts? How could I set this up in my own house, where can i get a panel and a sounder but one that sounds like a hospital tone
System Sensor is pretty good too. What I can also tell by the video is that you are using Xenon discharge strobes. When System Sensor releases their LED strobes, have you thought about using a few?
@@chadrowland5234 they are just coming out and it will probably be longer until low frequency versions are out not a huge fan of their appearance but any new install I would likely use them but I wouldn't go replace what's already installed
Are LED strobes brighter than conventional Xenon discharge strobes? Or are they they the same brightness? I ask because, I use LED strobes outdoors and under skylights. I only Xenon discharge strobes inside.
possibly the coolest project youve ever done, adding full house commercial fire alarm protection. keep up the good work pickle
Thank you I appreciate it
Nic I was watching the video with my dog, and when you say Jackson wasn’t being an idiot about it, my dog jumped off the couch and left 😂😂😂
Lol
Didn’t ask
@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernILif ya didnt ask whyd you put in the time to comment that
Dogs are bad u tell them one thing they do another

Its nice how you have a fire alarm system for protection which is better than a smoke detector

Not a lot has been talked about in the fire protection community regarding commercial grade equipment in single residential applications...
KEEP MAKING AWESOME CONTENT!!!!!
A mixed signal is when voice evac mixed with horns and/or bells or horns mixed with bells.
They don't like big differences in frequency though either
@@nics-systems-electric yes
Always the one I watch, never got bored of YOU!! keep ur work UP!
Thanks, will do!
Congrats on 19k nick I remember when you first hit 1k subs those were the good days hope to see you with 100k or even a million 1 day!
Nice Nich
This is super nice alarm system expansion
Great Job Nic. You do really neat work!
Thank you. I appreciate that thanks for your comment.
Yo dudes song is a rock star but I only like after dark

hey Nic i love your videos can't wait for December testing
Thanks it'll be out soon
A good idea would to add boxes with fire extinguisher one per floor
There is a fire extinguisher on each floor
Nice
Nice job 😉😁👍🏻
Thanks
Wow that's a lot of house fire alarm system it really loud noise
whenever jaxon barked my dog barked😂
Awesome content 👍

pretty sure they wake people up faster and don't make ears bleed
Low frequency devices are designed for sleeping areas to wake sleeping occupants much better that is the whole purpose for why they are made. They also are less annoying and don't bug the dogs as bad.
Nic can you make a video about the break down of like how much all of this fire alarm system cost. Just curious
Yeah probably will sometime
@@nics-systems-electric I can imagine how much effort you put into it
I used these as interior sirens for my burg alm. Or I thought they were these until I saw that yours are marked fire on the side.
The reason why there are different mounting brackets is because there are newer L series and older ones
Not so sure that's it I've had older ones fit on newer ones and there is zero difference other than the pegs block some devices
Nic are you planning on including any Carbon Monoxide detection on the house fire alarm system?
No it doesn't need it
Why are metal boxes expensiver then plastic ones? In sweden the plastic ones cost 15kr (~ 1,50$), And they kinda always uses the plastic ones!
For cut in boxes here the metal ones are cheaper
@@nics-systems-electricWow! But how mutch do they cost for a normal outlet box in metal and in plastic?
@@Williams_elektronik pretty much the same depending on the box
Wait a minute I saw these at a news report video
Your girlfriend must be so happy 😂
Hello NIC’S - SYSTEMS & ELECTRIC

I never miss a new video
Are you using fireproof (fire resistant) cable?
Fire alarm cable is 105° insulated and is plenum rated
Hi love seen your channel Keep making cool video
Thank you, I will
Nice video nic! By chance, could you remind me of the model of the plane and the annunciator? Thanks
It's a LCD2-80
Is Milwaukee your preferred drill company?
Milwaukee Makita and Dewalt are all good but Milwaukee is my preference
Did the house come pre-installed with the box mounts? How could I set this up in my own house, where can i get a panel and a sounder but one that sounds like a hospital tone
Nope there was nothing I have full videos on installing the whole system from start to finish from nothing
@@nics-systems-electricok where did you get your panels and what model would you recommend for an hospital tone like a doo, quiet
@@willtheham1 you can get lots from eBay chimes are the quietest
@@nics-systems-electricis there anyway you could provide me with some links for a panel and a sub panel with a few sounders?
@@nics-systems-electric what's the exact name of the ones that are in hospitals like gong sounds so quiet?
System needed that
When is the next monthly system test?
Whenever I upload it
where did you get the dialer for your firelite Ms9200udls?
It's not a dialler it's a power monitoring device I have videos on installing it on that system and then also connecting it to the house system
Ok ty
Do you use System Sensor notification signals on your fire alarm system? I use Wheelock notification signals on my fire alarm system.
I mean you can kinda tell from the video
System Sensor is pretty good too. What I can also tell by the video is that you are using Xenon discharge strobes. When System Sensor releases their LED strobes, have you thought about using a few?

@@chadrowland5234 I don't think there are any brighter their flash duration might be a little bit longer though
When is the december testing coming?
Don't know
What does candella mean? You said that it can be changed on each but you left it at 15
Strobe brightness they go from 15 up to 185 for the L series
Sup nic!!
How Did you Get the Whole System Setup with the wires Connecting?
I installed it
It's interesting to see the Newer Devices like these. I'm as Old As Wheelock As's. I remember when they were Popular.
@@jaybird2000 system sensor released these L series in 2017
@@nics-systems-electric Oh. I started seeing them Often in like 2020.
It was my birthday
Do you like led strobes or xenon strobes i perfer xenon
LED is lower current draw and should last longer so that is good
Cool
Ceiling Fan?? 4:10
Yes it's gone now
What happened to the Nest protects in that one video?
Nothing they are still there the same way
@@nics-systems-electric just remembered those were a different house.
Yay
You need to change your picture on CZcams
Why would I do that? Maybe you should change yours
Where is today video?
There isn't one as it says under the about section of my CZcams channel I upload on Saturdays and Wednesdays with the occasional extra video on Monday
this is pt 2

Ya
What time are you going to post tomorrow video? What will tomorrow video look like?
There is no video tomorrow
"I post videos every Saturday and Wednesday if there are any extra videos they will be posted on Monday."
