    Hello Everybody, I am a new member and would like to introduce myself. I am an electrican by trade but spent some time in the networking industry, been out on my own for the last three years. Most of our CCTV is requests from customers wanting systems installed, so far so good, intresting to read about IP etc. I have been reading this forum for the last year or so, may I take this oppurtunity to thank all the contributors, I have learnt an incredible amount of what to do and more importantly what not to do. Keep up the good work. Boxster

    Hello all, My name is John from Ireland and its great to find this very useful site. I have only installed one alarm but helped fix a few.

I don't know how to do it without chasing conduits through the wall. Any way what I have installed is a simple enough system (gardtec CP8)no problems at all although the control box looks messy inside. I added a rise in heat detec…
