NextGenAV Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Was playing with the new DSC Powerseries Neo after an install. Thought I would have a laugh and this is the announcement of the homes speakers when the alarm is activated. The internal sounder shuts off so you can hear it everywhere! Not keeping it like this in the actual system Balabolka can be fun! AlarmActivated.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Lowe Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 It will be a very uncomfortable experience for anyone that decides to break into my home. All lights inside and out will flash randomly Everyone audio zone goes to near 100% blasting sirens All doors windows locks close and will continue closing if they are opened again HEATER turned to max and two friendly pit bulls that are starved of chew toys!

AlarmActivated.mp3 im trying to do the exact same thing to mine, where by if the alarm goes off it plays a siren through out the house, how can i do that? i know i have to create the announcement and add the .wav file and then select the rooms where i want it to play, but cant work out how to connect "When alarm goes off play announcement" can i add it to be part off my push notification (so when the alarm goes off get notified), so when that triggers play announcement? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 The trigger will depend on the alsrm system in use - some drivers will have a direct WHEN system goes in to ALARM (note that you may find it under the partition vs the main driver) - other's you'll have to use WHEN ALARM_STATE_CHANGES_ IF Alarm is true. But basically, wherever your programming is to send you a notification gets the 'trigger announcement' added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for this i just tried it, and i think i got it to work however, the sound file that i used "AlarmActivated.mp3" (the file from @NextGenAV, thanks for the file :))that comes out of the speakers it starts half way of the file, i.e. not the beginning, i believe i need to set the "Star Delay" and "Stop Delay" in the announcement, what should i set that to? also it seems that once the alert has gone off, all the volume in all rooms stays high (what the announcement was set to), and does not revert back to normal volume setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 As for the slow start - it may e that you have amps that are slow to start - the best solution to improve would depend on what equipment you have. As for the volume levels, that should just work but I'd have to have a look to check if there are sttings for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twmoonly Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Doing something similar in a urc house. Have the alarm contacts monitored through urc controller and based on the zone it triggers a relay on the back of hc250 to play audio back though system. It was an existing urc system so this was the easiest way to add announcements. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
