Hi guys, I’m currently consult on a project for a boutique colocation data center where the client's IT department is pushing hard for a 'Zero Trust' architecture—not just for their network, but extended to physical access. We’ve already got OSDP readers at the perimeter and biometrics for the main halls, but the tenant requirements for cabinet/rack-level security are getting increasingly granular. They are starting to push back against traditional physical fobs, citing them as the 'weakest link' in the audit trail. I’m curious how many of you are actually seeing a real-world shift toward integrating physical access (like mobile credent…

A member of my team at work had an incident last week. 3 people tried to steal his car (mx5) However most of the street have ring doorbell instead of cctv and all of them didnt work during the incident. This isnt the first time ive suspected jamming but is this on the rise?

Following up on my recent post about IGMP Snooping, I wanted to share some field data regarding a performance killer that many budget managed switches hide in their spec sheets: Packet Buffer Memory. We often focus on the total PoE budget, but when deploying high-bitrate 4K or even 8K cameras, I’ve found that small buffers (under 1.5MB) on 8-port "web-managed" switches are the primary cause of random "no signal" or stuttering issues during high-motion events. My Recent Findings: Burst Traffic: When multiple cameras trigger H.265 I-frames simultaneously (e.g., a car driving through multiple FOVs), the switch buffer fills up instantly. If the b…

Following up on a great discussion I had here recently about physical network separation, I wanted to share some bench-test results regarding budget-friendly managed switches (the kind we often see coming out of the Asian markets recently). We’ve all been tempted by the price point of 'web-managed' switches for small-to-medium CCTV jobs. However, I’ve found that their implementation of IGMP Snooping and STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is often inconsistent under heavy multicast load from 4K/8MP cameras. A few things I’ve noticed in the field: Buffer Overflow: On some 128MB buffer models, once you hit about 60% backplane capacity with constant vi…

Hi everyone, Having worked on several high-end residential and industrial security integrations recently, I’ve noticed a recurring issue with video lag and frame drops when scaling beyond 8+ IP cameras on a single managed switch. A few "field-tested" adjustments that have significantly improved stability for my builds: MTU Tuning: Standard 1500 is usually fine, but in high-traffic VLANs, ensuring your NVR and switches are perfectly synced on Jumbo Frame settings (if supported) can reduce overhead. Subnet Isolation: Never let the security traffic mingle with the home/office guest Wi-Fi. It sounds basic, but broadcast storms from …

Hi, I tried to setup the GX remote app, but i get the error LOST CONNECTIVITY WITH PANEL. The app is establishing secure connection and then connected and after some seconds i get LOST CONNECTIVITY WITH PANEL System Galaxy dimension 520 v3.07 Ethernet Iris 4 620 last firmware 4.25.0.6755 56.03.1 access period= ANY time, 56.03.2 mode: Direct access System is pingable Remote service suite is working The user codes are working on the panel Who has a suggestion?

Hi all I have an ADE GEN 4 system It's been installed for about 10 years. Recently the alarm has been going off when unset. I'll enter my code and the screen reads 12345678 TP 00000000 00 Prompted to enter X and the system reads unset . About 20 minutes later the alarm goes off again. I'm sst here at 0500 waiting to see if it'll do it a third time Any ideas? Unfortunately I have made the master panel pretty unaccesble Under floor! All assistance very welcome I was wondering. The beĺl outside , might its battery need replacing ??

Good evening, Just an short question, I replaced my GD48 panel recently. Can you guys help how to make the banner empty after arming the alarm. In my old GD48 the banner became empty after arming the alarm. I can't find the right setting? Thanks a lot! Kind regards, Robert-Jan

Goodevening, I could use some help setting up a Betty Siren (see datasheet attached) on my GD48. My setup is as follows; MK7, Selfmon LCE-K3 and RF Portal C079-2 on the Bus, connected to several DO8M and IR8M sensors. Everything works fine, except my siren, I don't get it working. I connected (+) (blue) to AUX3 and (-) (blue/white) 1001, see attached. In my system 10001 output set to Siren V and neg. Tamper from the siren (white/green and green tot AuxTEMP and GND No sound of the siren when zones are violated. All zones are labelled to intruder and Siren also. Can someone help me out? Thanks so much! Kind regards, Robert Jan …

Is anyone else having issues with version 4.00 and wireless keypads Earlier today I've been configuring a KIT002 with 2x wireless keypads, Its not going to plan. It appears that the radio keypads are as clunky as hell on the Ricochet communication side of things Its all setup on the bench as usual, All devices configured with plenty of waiting time Ricochet manager shows all the detection devices and statistics but both keypads are showing (Question Marks) I've deleted them a dozen or more times, but this makes no difference at all. I'm getting extremely slow communication from the panel, Garbled messages on the keypads and different di…
