Looking at HD, what would you prefer to use over IP or std coax transmission? Price wise the CVI is better but what would you rather use?

Hi Everyone I was asked to report back as such on the intruder course i did last week Well my brain does hurt a bit and no thats not from a hit on the head but from ohms law I found the course very good from a point of view I am new to it all there was theory and calculations and class room based practical to get you to wire up what you have just learnt. Some home work to show where you would put sensors, control panel and keypad plus warning devices which you then had to write a proposal with each circuit details and location.

Going to price to fit a single camera/recorder inside a stall in a pub carpark, has power but no net. What's the best route for getting net, router and dongle? Also how do people rate Nexus? Can anyone recommend a brand that suits this? Thanks!

Hi. I have a dimension 48 with 2 keypads, 2 power RIOs, one boxed RIO and an E080 ethernet card. The trouble is that every few months some or all of the modules go missing. When I check the log afterwords it shows the list of rios and keypads and comm modules as -missing followed immediately by +missing. It seems they only drop off for a second. I have already replaced the ethernet module and all of my comms cable is in belden with 0 volts commoned between panel and power RIOs. Looking for some advice from your experiences. Thank you.

is having one of your posts removed by a moderator then not being informed why it was removed. Poor show imo.

Who do you guys use?
