Morning,
I'm out of the office so dont have a copy of the regs with me, I have a site meeting I'm about to go in to and they want to discuss the fixings of cables, as we have flagged up that a sysystem that we are commissioning is non compliant as the cables are fixed every 2 metres.
So I need the BS number and reference ideally and the recommended spacings, of the top of my head 300mm horizontal and 400mm vertical
normally we space metal ties out further (around every 900mm) and use plastic between, I can't recall what the standards say about this?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi All,
I'm looking for a CCTV sub contractor in the London area to assist with the Second Fixing and commissioning of some IP CCTV cameras (29 in total) 15 internal domes and 14 external domes, all cables are made off with glass ends ready to plug straight in to the cameras which are all POE.
We are hoping to get this completed this week if possible, ideally starting tomorrow, the job is in Finsbury Park London N4 3JG
If anyone is interested then please contact me for more details, email in my signature below.

Oh well I guess its down to me...
its **** don't bother
Our office or our website

James, i can try and find out them answers tomorrow as I'm unsure.
What I have tried in the past is viewing the URL by using a website that hides your IP address, this seems to work.
So I'm guessing (again I'm guessing) that the website has the same IP address as our local server and the same URL name.
Really the easy solution would be just to move our website off site?
-
your hosting it on a local server?
are you port forwarding port 80 to ur server?
if so you will probably find that if you ping your domain it will resolve its wan address.
you need to modify ur dns entries, or locally on each machine.
or use ur server as your dns server so it sesolves to ur local server address
Yes we are hosting it locally on a server at our office.
Unsure about the port, I can ask the question.
When you say modify our DNS entries? or locally on each machine?
Again sorry for sounding a bit dim!

I'm trying to think how best to explain my problem without sounding a bit thick!
When I'm at our office, I can't view our website!
We host our website on our own servers, and the issue I think is that our host server has the same URL as our website.
So the question is how can we resolve this?
Would registering a different URL pointing at the website on our servers work, or would we still not be able to view it?
Or would we be better moving our website from our servers?
Its a bit bizarre, I'm hoping someone can help, as mad as it seems it is driving me crazy not being able to view our website!!

sorry to be a spoil sport and go back to the original topic!
We have been looking at new systems, the main issue we have is that we use macs, whilst at Firex I came across a company called Tesseract who provide a system for G4S and OpenView, the system is browser based which would suit us as we could access via mac.
The main concern is the initial investment! has anyone else come across or heard of this system?

There is also a windows version , runs under windows xp ,
For the Minerva 80?

I will take a look

Hi All
Our company website is word press based, I want to add some forms for clients to submit support tickets etc and I was hoping that there is a way I can create the forms and then our marketing team can just drop the code in to the website.
Does anyone have any ideas of how best to do this?
Thanks

There are a few versions of the software knocking about however as stated previously you will need a system that can run DOS and also have a internal floppy drive, and the other issue is if it is version 13. as this is dongle protected and so you are unlikely to get your hands on a dongle.
The other problem is even if you got the software it is not straight forward and you really do need to know what your doing

Thanks guys appreciate the advice, CAME actually have a office in Stockport which is only 40 mins away from us

Hi Guys
Thanks for replying, I have spoke with the engineer that went out to site he tried linking out the sensors, Im going to try and get a cost for the ZA4 board and swap that and see how we get on.

Not sure if this is the right place to post......
One of our good clients has asked if we could at a electric gate as a favour, basically it is stuck open.
I have sent one of our engineers along he has checked all the usual voltage etc, all appears fine he seems to think it may be the board controlling the gate
Quadro Commando ZA4 - does anyone know where you can get hold of one of these and cost?
Anyone have any experience on gates have any suggestions?
It really is one of them jobs where you wish you stuck to your guns and stuck with sorry we don't do gates

there are versions about but you need to know which version is used on the site as they are not backwardly compatible (have a look at the chip on the loop card it will have the version number on it)
The lead is easy enough to make but if you have no previous experience in using consys it may be worth avoiding it as there is specific ways to do uploads/downloads when you need to fit pins etc, the last thing you want to do is render the system in-operable because you will lose the client and then get a big bill of //.Large National Installer.// to correct the panel.
if its just 1 or two devices to be programmed you may be wiser getting //.Large National Installer.// in and just add your margin onto there cost!
I will take a look 
Cable Fixings
in General Fire Alarm Queries
Posted
BS5839 talks about adequate support, so the question is, in a closed ceiling space with no access is fixings at 500mm intervals with every second fixing being fire rated adequate, personally I think possibly so.
BS7671 on site guide table 4A provides spacing, however this talks about cables in accessible positions, so if the cables are not accessible and unlikely to be disturbed then it is arguable that these minimum fixing spacings are not relevant?
I'm looking for some input please.
