  1. I think you will find you cant have your cake and eat it only one of the above works as a subby Not that I am trying to put you off here or anything but, the tax man doesn't pay you for the tools you just pay him a little less. So its not free tools its just less tax. Personally I would have a chat with your boss about whats on your mind, you have nothing to lose if you are thinking about leaving anyway, your boss may have a better career choice for you. Being a subby is not all its cracked out to be, you need insurance and all the H&S certification cards, some co's will expect you to have up to date cards for MEWPS and platforms along with your own PPE and harnesses. You will get work from co's that don't ask for these but you wont earn the money. Subbies that I used have all these, I only use subbies that I know and trust.
  2. I don't think you are allowed too, but I have heard that some employers get staff to check interviewees vehicle whist the interview is underway. One thing I would never say about Paul is that he had a dirty or untidy vehicle, it was immaculate most of the time, mind you he spent a lot of time putting things away when he had finished a job, sometimes longer than he took to do the job.
  3. doubt you would have liked working for hime either, he didnt have any sense of humour
  4. LOL how did that happen? my fone must av auto corekted it I'm quite a good smeller normaly
  5. Of course LOL!
  6. Hi plasmarb Firstly can I ask why you want to become a subby? Whats the appeal?
  7. It depends on many factors, commercial sites haft to comply to the DPA, domestics are a different story, in all cases privacy laws must be observed
  8. you also need 4737 for takeovers 8423 8418 I could go on and on. If its because you are going for NSI or SSAIB I wouldn't worry just yet. Make sure you know the standards and that you are installing to them, once you join the inspectorate you can pay extra and get their standards online
  9. Hi Neil where are you based? do you cover Fareham ?
  10. I prefer filled crust
  11. I don't think you can get patch leads that long, we would normally drill the hole the same size as the cat 5 then crimp an rj45 at each end
  12. I agree, Police officers seldom know the law regarding CCTV I had one try to tell me that I could not have a camera viewing the customers car as it viewed the street. I was so surprised that not only did she know the law that she was supposed to upheld, but she was spouting complete and utter rubbish to someone that is familiar with the laws regarding CCTV. I have many times had to explain to the Police how to use the evidence that we have recorded for them, if the system is not compliant then it has to be used to get an admission not as evidence.
  13. Mains smokes are BS5839 part 6 and should be installed to the FRA and certified accordingly regardless of the electrical cert (though this is also required)
  14. Obviously more MP is better for the end result, the down side is it uses up more HDD space so 1TB will last a day or so less depending on how you set up the recording.
  15. Hi Charlie You are absolutely right, however, it is one thing for a person to stand in the street with a camcorder filming, it is obvious that sound is likely to be recorded and people observing this are unlikely to divulge any personal private matters in front of your camera. With CCTV on the other hand it may not even be immediately obvious that there is a camera present, and even so, there is still no reason to assume that audio is being recorded. Therefore if allowed, CCTV could capture audio that was intended as private but not unlawful. In the UK we put signs up to warn people that CCTV is in operation, if people ignore the signs and continue to break the law then they deserve everything they get. But people that are not breaking the law and going about their everyday business are entitled to have their conversations kept private. The whole purpose of CCTV is to deter or capture crime, not invade peoples private conversations.
  16. I would say better
  17. Sorry I only know trade suppliers, they wont sell to DIY. but if you google there are several suppliers, just be sure that its genuine Hik check model no.s with the Hikvision Website, and supplier with us here, we can tell you if there are any problems to a degree
  18. And unless the customer service has changed that's pants as well. Do Xvision still have a 0898 technical support number? As Al yeti suggests Hikvision if you want something decent, if you are on a budget Security Warehouse will have something, that suits your budget. I would suggest vari focal lenses if you are not sure of the field of view 4.25 is quite wide to view the front door area, plus think about what you will see from above the door you don't want to get the tops of peoples heads, the face is the most important part.
  19. Hi and welcome trade application rules here http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/forum-trade-access.html
  20. Yeah lots of marketing co's do this
  21. I'm just thinking ahead, I didn't want the poor chap complaining that members from here were filling his inbox with abuse, as there wouldn't be a thing we could do about it. Upstairs for thinking, downstairs for dancing
  22. Hi and welcome to the forum Please familiarize youself with the forum rules here http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/site-rules-and-disclaimer.html I have shortened your username, you cannot use an email address as a username, this would allow other members to send abuse to you directly and we would have no control to stop it
  23. I prefer snooker to pool, I don't mind playing pool but I cant watch it its to americanised on TV
  24. Yeah when I saw it with all the toys I thought that's what I want, that and the fact that I really missed my X Type
  25. I purchased my jag on the review JC gave he beat the sun from Lands End to somewhere near Essex
