There is one thing I can not stand and thats when an organization like NFPA National Fire Protection Assoc. also known as" Not For Practical Application " by those of us who have had enough of there horse shit over the years.
Sticks its nose into other industry's business . They are Fire Protection they make rules and standards which deals with fire. There name says nothing about burglar alarm protection but they have come up with a recommendation of standards known as 730-731 in last few years no one wanted or paid any attention to, and now they want it to be able to be enforced as a Building code standard 730 if passed and enforced by a local municipality.
In the first place building inspectors want absolutely nothing to do with burglar alarms there busy enough now as it is and do not need to stretch what little time they do have to inspect burglar alarm work. 2nd they want nothing to do with the potential liability of a burglar alarm system being breached and it was done so because of plans which now have to be reviewed sitting around there office. 3rd It is none of NFPA's fucking business how I design and install a burglar system trapping and catching burglars takes more than a code to follow it takes stealth and out of the box thinking in the placement of sensors to detect crafty intruders secrets I am not interested in divulging to any one other than the building owner. There are plenty of schools you can attend and plenty of manufacturers instructions and classes to teach you about burglar alarms and how to install them correctly. many states also require license etc to keep burglar alarm business properly regulated and each and every system needs to be different there is no cookie cutter pattern viable to burglar systems like fire systems despite what the geniuses NFPA think they have have proven to them selves. Maybe the SIA or Other Burglar Alarm assoc. should come up with some fire codes after all if NFPA are now Burglar alarm experts that means Burglar alarm experts should be fire experts . many individuals and companys do both types of work.
Stay out and keep out NFPA we do not want you in these matters Period.
