    What's the difference between stand alone and intergrated systems.

    Also what would a commissing/ application engineer do?

    Thanks

    Hi OP, a standalone system, in alarm terminology basically means that the alarm system just works itself and is not connected up to any other device.

    Integrated means when you have, for example a camera system and an alarm system connected up so that is for example the alarm activates them the camera system would record at a higher rate that usual.

    A commission engineer goes to a site where a recent system has been fitted, his job is to get the system into operational condition and to show the user's how to operate the system, he will also carry out a full functional test on every function that the system has.

    If you have a system connected to monitoring and have it disconnected from this service it can be said the system is working as a stand alone alarm.

    Your standard hkc alarm would be classed as a stand alone system.
    Integrated systems would incorporate access control etc and operate across multiple sites. Examples of these would be the old 3gs panels, Siemens SPC, honeywell etc and these would typically have some sort of back end running in parallel.
    Commissioning Engineer would be a handy number provided the lads that did the install work before you were good.

    Good luck with the job application

    It's my husband that's going for the job. He's been out of the industry sometime now so I sent in his application. He has been called for interview I really just wanted to make sure I hadn't send him forward for a role not suited to him.
