Recut version... but here it is again I guess. I had to re-edit it because the guest who was on skype decided he didn't like me and filed a stupid privacy complaint.
As of today, System Test 26.1 is 10 years old. This video in particular is very special because a lot of people found the fire alarm community through this video and channel. Kind of insane to think this video came out 10 years ago. Time flies I guess.
Same, this might be one of the first fire alarm videos I ever watched back in 2013, maybe 2012 when I was younger. Now that I’m older, I’m not too much into fire alarms as much but it’s nostalgic to watch back on these videos.
The intro is my nostalgia to 2010. Good memories. Would watch these videos day and night when I got my first computer at 8. Now, I’m 18. Time flies Thank you to NewAge, Charlie Davidson, and others for making my childhood
Same, was 8 and terrified of fire alarms, I had the idea to watch them on RU-vid to get myself used to it, and it worked, and it lead me to NewAgeServerAlarm! Time does fly!
Man this was one of my favorite channels to watch in kindergarten and 3rd grade. I was a strange kid lol. But now I am on my sophomore year of high school, crazy to think these videos are old when it doesn’t feel like it has been that long.
This was the video that got me into this hobby. Because i had the simplex 2901-9833 on the 2903-9101 at my elementary school. But they were replaced with system sensor speaker strobes
5:04 That's a little nostalgic; that's what the alarm sounded like at an elementary school I used to go to. I forgot how I'd hear slightly different frequencies as I walked through the building.
The nostalgia from watching this as a kid when I was in my fire alarm phase on my dads old DELL desktop computer but now watching this again and his other system test are flooding my brain with nostalgia.
When I had my house I had exit signs and emergency lights also. Both 24 hour lights and power failure lights on their own circuit (also run with visible wiremold sometimes). I had a pretty cool mood light serup in the living room too. Man I miss that sometimes.
Dude you must’ve had a terrible structure fire experience to be this paranoid and over the top with this. I absolutely understand tho, and I applaud this wicked setup you have
@@crapcopter Yeah I know, I actually have a personal hobby of installing car alarms, God forbid someone with loud exhaust comes through my neighborhood, it’ll sound like the Bank of America getting held up
I really liked the video! When you said "Did you see what I just set it too?", I was like "Uh-oh!" I think that was funny! Keep going NewAgeServerAlarm, I'm rooting for you!!!
Hey newageserveralarm it's an honor to see your setup I'm going to purchase my first house in Pasco Florida and just wanted to say that me and my buddy are getting started in the fire alarm hobbyists our first fire alarm will be an Edward's strobe from 1950s or something extra rare ❤
Wow, this takes me back to fall 2012, 7th grade. I used to watch fire alarm videos _all_ the time, and I used to think this guy was so cool. I even see some of my old comments from 9 years ago on the page! LOL! Ahh, my fire alarm phase. I legit used to take pictures of smoke detectors in public buildings with my little LG slide phone! Probably pissed off a few security guards. Granted, I've always had an unhealthy obsession with alarms, ever since I was a little kid. But I've always liked security systems much better than fire alarm systems. Still, alarms in-general are such a fun hobby, and it makes me so happy to see all these young fire alarm enthusiast channels following in the footsteps of NewAgeServer(Alarm). I wonder if he knows the legacy he's left behind. Even though I'm an adult in college now, it's always been nice to know there are other guys like me, even today. :)
6:27 my Elementary school has this horn that was my favourite sounding Horn as a kid and still to this day it sounds really nice. In my school that horn was set to code 3 man that horn was music to my ears
The edwards horn in the garage is an F, the simplex horn in the basement is a A, the fire lite horn is a C, and the Alarm in the living room is an E. So all 4 together would make an Fmaj7 chord.
FANTASTIC SETUP! Love the video! I wonder if anybody can help me: I remember that my junior high school had a system with corridor horns that were actually horn shaped, each box had 1 horn pointed left and 1 horn pointed right..... and the alarm was 4 blasts, 1 second pause, 4 blasts, 10 second pause. Then it would repeat again. 4 blasts, 1 second pause, 4 blasts, 10 second pause. Does anybody have any idea what system that might have been?
Yes, I have since learned that it was an IBM system with IBM 4030 dual projection horns, and that the bonafide IBM panel was set up with a 4-4 code wheel in the panel. Thanks for your help!
