Looks good Gazza, unfortunately, if I were to install a real CCTV system in the car, my licensing authority insist that it has to have a sealed recorder that only them & the police are allowed access to....something to do with the data protection act

Im not to sure re this cctv legal stuff...
We all know there is cctv cameras in and around towns and is used in evidence in court . . .
Now how many of you watch the Cops on tv
Street crime on BRAVO
Road wars on Sky 2
Now when the villan gets anoyed with the camera man and starts shouting the police say its ok he is in a public place and can record it ?
and then they say when the footage was used in court Joe Blogs lost his licence and was found £xxx pounds
So if I was you I would deffo get one . .
I Still might get one you never know

I know what you mean Gazza, daft isn't it But when I questioned the councils policy, they said that if the recorder wasn't sealed then in theory I could go home & watch it & according to the data protection act, this is a no-no......Could also be considered to be voyeurism apparently

Could someone tell me if alarm shoud sound when I close the car from remote (single lock) and open the door through the opened window?
My car doesn't sound. But I remember, that it used to sound when i opened the boot of locked car by the key. If i doublelock the car - I can't open it even form inside, and can't open boot by the key.
Thanks

There you go mate its not LAW just the councils policy which is NOT british law. . .
Just ask the council to take down all the cctv cams they have in your town then
Also the bus company's have them installed ( well they do up here in Leicester )

Yea whats wrong with that if it covers the front with you and passengers ?
thats what its for to watch it. . and if used in court some one else will watch it
and if any thing bad happened (hope to god it wont ) then you got it all on tape instead of your word against theres
cctv in shops for the thief's yea some one will watch it and there will be innocent people on it as well
All the people who use cameras / cctv can be used in a court of law. . .
Do you remember all the going on re fox hunting and people taking there cams to use against the police that was on the news . . .
mate fit on in ya cab if only to protect ya self
Also (last one ) the news to night Steven Gerrard Bar Brawl CCTV footage
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5U0Dubfmiw
I rest my case
also the data act
http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts1998/ukpga_19980029_en_1
a good debait I know but i wont go on any further

Thanks for that Gazza.......I've done a little investigating & have found out that the law has changed regarding CCTV in taxi's. A sealed recorder is longer required & it has now been put in the same catagory as CCTV outside your frontdoor etc, so can be viewed ....I'll be speaking to the carriage officer shortly about it
Ivan...yes, the alarm should sound if you single lock it with a window open & then try to open it with the inner handle....mine does.........& if you double lock it, then you shouldn't be able to open the door with the inner handle, it prevents someone from opening it by sliding something inside the door

Thanks , Jonny!
Will check wiring diagrams to know what to look for. Any most known issues (faulty beeper, relay, loom, etc.)?

Today tok a look at the beeper - hitting it with a metal stick and ajusting the tuning screw made it alive (I think it just became rusty during the winter).
So my car beeps when I open it in an "unauthorized" way.
But it doesn not flash!
Should the car flash (I mean hazard indicators) when alarm is working?

Jonny, I know, but my did always flash after doublelock. And I suppose it should flash o alarm (i just don't remember - have seen my car in alarm state only twice or so). It stopped flashin on doublelock after the 4 months of staying on open air in winter (battery totally died).
