Hi

I don't know if anyone can help, but I'm very grateful to anyone who can provide input. I won't go into the full story, but my windows upstairs appear to have an electrical current running through them.

It's only the windows upstairs.

They also set off a radio frequency detector.

Even if the fuse box is powered off, they still give an electrical reading.

It is not a home security system. Just bog standard double glazing.

The house was re-wired (not by me) and the electrician I had over recently noted what a mess it was and the upstairs and downstairs aren't on seperate circuits.

I have a photo, but I can't attatch it. It shows the window handle giving off a 12v reading, the same as my power points.

I also have a video of the windows setting off the radio frequency detector.

My friend, a glazer, came over and used a thermal imaging camera and we noticed the windows had unusual hot spots on the frames.

I have a feeling it may be being used for some kind of surveillance system that I am unaware of.

Very weird question I know, but any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
I simply came out with the kind of answer that could have been written at the start if someone could have addressed what the OP was asking.

Having read the thread from the start, it appears the OP left fairly early on (August 5), and in fact seems not to have been upset by a small amount of sarcasm (#10), and indeed has not return, by the time it turned into regular banter (August 7).

As regards your protestations that the OP wasn't given any sensible replies at the start of her thread, then you haven't obviously perused the thread from the beginning, and would have seen the many straight forward and informative replies, e.g. #13.

IMO your reply #53, was in echolalia in nature, and was a superfluous post. If you feel someone is being bullied or a post(s) is or are inappropriate, then there is always the report button.

Pretentious... moi?

...oh...and my words were not spoken so the "echolalia" term you offered (clue is in the spelling) is invalid.
To be honest , I have never heard of the word , so I looked it up. Might I suggest you do the same next time.
Nice try , though.... bit more milk in that please... cheers.
 
I quite often get pulled up on my bad spelling and grammar, I do apologies for that.

But my post still stands, the OP did not appear offended by the light hearted posts, and your post 53 ignored the fact that other members, did indeed made previous helpful posts.

I use the term 'echolalia' in a thread I posted recently, in a light hearted chastisement of members who post exactly or close to what some else had posted previously, with no reference to or acknowledgement of. Something which I think you should acknowledge you've done.

Worse IMO, than poor spelling or grammar.
 
My first question would be why are your power points reading out at 12v?

The Tool in question , is an in- exact guessing stick ,
Unlike quality Fluke T110 , onward .
(with optional 7k Ohm load to sort out Phantoms )-Press the button !

Test equipment that barely loads anything ,
great at finding capacitive leakage (AC) .
(or if its DC , probably static electricity)
