Adpro and vivotek ip cameras
What FPS are the cameras set at and what is the expected FPS at the Adpro? Is this a dedicated network or is it part of an existing Lan?

Things found in airing cupboards
Found an axe in a funeral parlour whilst running cables, it conjured up plenty of thoughts about rigamortis ect. I asked what they used it for. It turns out that they had a body shipped back from South Africa, and because of strict laws on flying a dead body it had to be in a sealed zinc coffin, when it arrived they could not see a way of opening it other than using an axe. Apparently that was the worst smelling jobs they had ever had.

Audi drivers
A mate of mine lives central Brighton, he works away a lot not at home and his wife doesnt sleep that well when he is away. At 3 am one night his wife was awoken by the sounds of a girl screaming and she goes down stairs to investigate. She catch's a guy trying to force a girl into the basement area of her house and when she challenges him he runs off. The Police are called and the poor girl is brought indoors. The guy had attempted to rape her but thankfully it was prevented by my mates wife. The Police arrive and take details but seem really uninterested, so much so that they did not even take a statement from my mates wife. It was almost as if they blamed the girl for being out at 3am. They seemed to know who the guy was from the description. They take away some of the girls cloths removed by the guy that they found in the basement the including girls shoes which they put in evidence bags, saying there could be DNA. My mates wife stayed in touch with the girl,so she knows that nothing was heard from the Police at all for about three months until they called the girl to ask her to come and collect her stuff. When the girl turns up at the Police station it turns out that the guys hat was amongst the stuff they had taken from the basement. The Police had not even looked at the evidence they had collected!

Recommend a Gadget filled alarm
Do you not remember the conversation we had a couple of weeks ago? You can buy HKC on Ebay but only the Irish version, or second hand stuff. HKC wont support DIY, and setting up app is only available to customers with a trade set up login on the secure website.

Agilty has the best app, but sadly is the worst panel in IMO. I could explain why but how long have you got? DIY wise Texe Pyronix or Visonic all have their good and bad points, non DIY HKC.

Hikvision Hdtvi Any Good?
It really isnt like that, its more down to sony, hik, ect selling their rejected chips ect, and they are reused to make cameras. Most of the cameras China sell are assembled to order not manufactured to order, it really is a case of you get what you pay for because there are variants of grade of rejects from good to poor, and the cheaper the camera the cheaper the chip they used. Many of the recorders are the same firmware but I've never found Dahua or Hik re-branded, I buy Seetong as a budget recorder. When Goolink was changed to look exactly the same as the Hik mobile software four weeks later it was back to its original design. Even the mobile phones in China are not what you think.

Hikvision Hdtvi Any Good?
Compared to the proper stuff it is crup atm, but it is good value for money crup and the ANPR system cannot be beaten on price nothing comes close. My Hybrid NVR/DVR cost me three times as much to produce than a 16 way Hik, my DVR/NVR is a far easier recorder to operate, search, has more features, and I can integrate the CCTV with most things, and I have better analytics. But it wont be long before Hik catch up, its only really taken them 5 years to get here, think what they will be doing in 5 years time. Sad really

Second opinion on graded system
The risk should be ABC A area. B Building, C Content. The area and building in this case lower the grade over the value of content, but needs a high grade dualpath monitoring

ARC remote monitoring
I have seen a fair few come and go over the years Sectron was my favourite, when I was an engineer. I think it is down to what you are used too and expect in a lot of cases. We used to use EMCS and Yeoman but found EMCS more problematic. I know others that swear by EMCS. RVR are an off shoot of Custodian I know people that swear by Custodian I always found them harder work than they needed to be, and RVR as a monitoring co the operators were rubbish, the rep was fantastic though, really knew his stuff deserved to be working for a company that used decent staff.

ARC remote monitoring
We have used RVR not very good but Yeoman were okay. Qvis were a box shifting company 15 years ago that branched out into CCTV and then started their own CCTV monitoring about five years ago. We purchase from them but I am not sure that we would trust them enough for monitoring CCTV just yet. I could be very wrong but my experience of their transformation from box shifter to CCTV trade sales put me off.

grade help required
It just has to have a maintenance contract, obviously they are expecting you to check that it is in good working order. The insurance co has not asked for anymore than that though.
