Good Evening all, First my back ground, i am an ex royal engineer with a trade in bricklaying, and construction techniques, i now currently work abroad as a Risk Manager in security. After years of working away i have decided to return home and look for a new career. I have searched high and low and for the life of me i can find no jobs, careers, that interest me, that is of course except securit, fire, alarm installations etc, ohh and para medicine. I would like to ask your advice as the course i have looked in to is run by Cablecom training and is a package of 15 weeks, after which i would need to complete my Part P electrical cert and maybe other pi…

I'm a homeowner that has been researching a home surveillance system for a few weeks now. I have some time to make my my final decision on a system so I'm doing my due diligence with researching and learning as much as I can about the pros and cons of the difference types of systems. I don't really want the cost of a professional system but something that more is geared towards a DIY, has a straightforward setup (PoE), high resolution (1080p), can be accessed remotely, and is reliable. I am fairly handy and extremely comfortable with the layout of my attic so installation will not be a problem. There just seems to be so much cacophony between what is good and bad. I'm ho…

hi there my names liam i've been reading the forums an enjoyed the info i try an avoid the really cheap stuff but i am by no means on a big budget cctv either ive got a vxm4B-8 with 1 concept pro camera an 5 panasonic all 550tvl, only using 3 of them at the moment cctv has been a learning curve like motorized satellite was (in 2002) but id say cctv its alot harder. but its been worth it , 1 gate breaking tresspass event led me to get a dvr an since then its been priceless as ive had another 6 times its payed its dues in varying degrees with the last 1 involving a local herion addict trying his luck, he got the fright of of his life when i busted …

Hello all, I'm a cctv engineer from Wolverhampton and happy to be here, looks a lively forum so look forward to chatting to all soon. Nick

I'm an IT engineer, very familiar with servers, networking, programming etc... With regards to CCTV, I'm currently just a personal user who has inherited a 16 channel CCTV system with my new property. I've always been interested in CCTV and wanted to install my own system anyway. With regards to my current system, i'm not happy with the quality of what is installed. Cameras a great in the day but not so great in the night!! It includes 2 PTZ domes. I'm playing with my system and planning on upgrading it but currently researching as much as possible before i do. My parents have also seen my system and want 4 camera system installing, which i've said i'll do

A good day to all on thesecurityinstaller, My name is Jeff and I am in training as a alarm technician for Suiderkruis Security all the way from South Africa. Too many questions, so little time

Have been visiting forum over the last couple of days and have now decided to join. Primarily for recommendations "from people who know their stuff" for a replacement alarm system at home. Long story short, had an installed system for a good number of years which recently died after a power cut. So now am looking to upgrade the panel. Doesn't have to be top specced insurance company approved, as it is more for my peace of mind. There seems to be a lot of choice in the market place and at present I am drawn to the Scantronic 9561 with the hidden away panel, remote LCD keypad and prox reader.

Hello everyone, I am an intruder alarm installer based in Leeds. Just wanted to say hello and hope to get involved with topics! Eric.
