Holy cow only read the first page before posting.

Some good answers here! Fair play if you want to give it a go on your own, wish you the best of luck. But agreeing with ElecTech asking such basic questions almost seems like you've barely looked into it. I haven't had as much experience as most people on here but still have come across tons of people who have tried various ways of starting up. Almost all have failed. The ones who haven't only haven't due the people they no, who've managed to get them bread and butter work. Even now there barely breaking even. It's always nice to think about yourself starting up because you always think you could do so much better but it's such a big risk which will almost certainly end up going wrong. Guess it depends too on how much you wanna make, earning yourself a nice wedge or getting the big bucks. But wish you the best of luck. I'd much rather keep learning, be the best I can be, own a house or 2 and go on a couple of nice holidays a year keeping the Mrs happy.

Sure the cat5 from the camera isn't wired into a patch panel and not a switch? Does the patch cable to the DVR turn into BNC?

Cameras - good DVR - ok Lifespan of kit - awful Think Adata are using rebranded Hik now

Someone upload and let's see what happens :L

Someone every couple months comes on here and asks for a RSS download, yet nobody seems to want to share, fair enough. Don't see why Honeywell don't make it available to download from there webby, not like you can do rr or anything on it.

It's licenced though isn't it?

Bummer! Had an older version of install and just used the patches...

Anyone got RSS installed on windows 10? Can't find compatible version of sql which runs on win10 (64bit) and one that the install sees!

They'll need long arms! .

I regularly cry when fitting theses, don't think I've set one up without having issues and there never the same issues!

Brilliant thanks a lot guys

Hey guys, Anyone know what PTZ this is? Need a direct replacement (or near enough) Thanks

Ground loop sensor

Dewalt 10.8v set for everyday use, Very very rarely need to get my 18v out. There always go sub £100 at screwfix so worth a look. You can also by accessories for then, I've got the dab radio, touch and sub charger that all run off the 10.8v battery.

Anyone no any decent 8 Channel Encoders and 8 Channel (BNC) Decoders?

That's correct Danny but also back to coax at the ANPR pc. Changing to IP is not possible, site spec theses ones and have some existing. The network is dedicated for the CCTV so I can't see bandwidth being an issue...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a piece of kit that will allow me to convert 8 coax cameras to IP then back to Coax. Looked at a few encoders and decoders but none seem suitable.. Basically for a ANPR system when I have 8 coaxs which are wired back to a switch which is on a dedicated IP camera system. The ANPR PC is located elsewhere, my thought being to convert it to IP at the switch then back to anologue at the of (another switch is located here). Any ideas? Mike

When we install we only drop power to mags (or any fail safe unit). Most defiant way of ensure they release. Dropping power to the access unit or keypad may not drop power to mags if they are powered from a different source

You can get mains rated xp95 i/o units, only come with 1 relay though, unlike the rated ones which have 2. We tend to use the mains ones a lot as much more robust.

There input / output units. Inputs wont be connected i dont think, just using the output side to drop the power to the maglocks in an event of a fire.

Haha

My vetting was accepted last Thursday, said I can view the trade forum in a few days yet i still cant? Any ideas? Mike
