Pikey bodge, try passing video down the power cable with baluns.make it clear to the customer you are not guaranteeing it wont pick up interference.

It says alarm right in the name, it must be the right stuff We should ask arf.

Well normal mains cable is 3 core so 6 core must be twice as good surely?

Some ahd systems take analouge. Mercury does.

If you have to ask these questions you probably shouldn't be doing electrics. Stick it on a plug or get somebody qualified in.

Funny enough "touch your toeas and in it goes" is the thanks you get at chubb for making an effort to be good at something, while the lazy cnuts that pretend to be useless get away with spending their days tieing knots in broken pullcord strings and changing pendant batteries while still getting better paid than the rest of us because of legacy pay differences from the different companies bought over.

With what? White noise? Carrier only? Sinusoidal tone? I'm going to try this on an enforcer.

I suppose for 868 you would be as well just setting up a cheap rtl-sdr, i use the rf explorer for wifi interference issues as well so its worth it. I started a thread a while back about the rtl sdr.

Rf spectrum analyser, best one for our game is the ism combo, goes from 150ish to 900someodds and 2.4ghz band. Great for radio surveys. You can also make your own by hacking a cheap dvb-t stick but the quality professional solution is not that dear.

Buy an rf explorer.

Have you done an rf spectrum survey on site? Could also be rouge older tv amps picking up and rebroadcasting the lte and introducing harmonics.

He taps it with his pen to see what happens. It uses science and lasers and stuff.

Hikvision or qvis is solid budget kit, particularly the low light performance on the cameras. Where are you based? Be careful buying cable, you need genuine copper, not copper clad aluminium or steel. I still think rg59 is more suitable for a novice. The number of poorly done cat 5 jobs i have come across is unreal especially when people insist in buying **** baluns.

Using cat5 without experience in planning and faultfinding is a recipie for interferance. Rg59 or rg59 shotgun is far more forgiving. It sounds like you are fitting useless ****, but at least decent cable will give you a fighting chance, and an opportunity to fit something better but still inexpensive later. Had you ahveasked beforehand we could have pointed you in the direction of some usable kit for not much money.

Are you a trainer for chubb?

It goes to pgm, then configure outputs, set pgm to engineer access

Recently I have had 3 pirs fail out of box, wont program to panel, 2 wireless sounders fail inside warranty, supervision ok and strobe works but wont sound, a handful of pirs that dont fail supervision but fail to pick up on walk test, a couple of pirs where the battery has died without reporting low battery, a few failed fobs, one where the tag reader failed and quite a few lcd backlights have went very dim or completely dark. I have only fitted a dozen or so ricochet but those have went without issue, but the programming takes a lot longer than enforcer and the enforcer is more user friendly. And cheaper.

Although its only low voltage there is still the possibility of someone who doesn't know what they are doing blindly fiddling to burn the house down. Where did you get the figure of £200 from?

Dont know. The referrals are customers showing the intelligent set feature to friends, then the friends asking for my number and calling me. The reliability issues i dont think has cost me sales as i return immediately and put things right but that lost time/diesel has come out my pocket. Things that dont fail anywhere near as often with other kit. The stuff that has failed under 2 years old most i replaced at materials cost only let the labour slide as i also do cctv, a/v and networking business with those clients and i don't want to spoil those for the sake of a few quid. Anything over 2 years or 1 off customers are billed though. Slightly ot, has anyone had any success sorting enforcer backlights? Got a few with knackered backlights that are otherwise ok.

Its a fantastic product, and i love the looks and features, all my customers really like intelligent set and it has gained me a few referrals, i really like it, i want to keep selling it, just the reliability is a real kick in the balls, the time wasted returning to replace failed pir, keyfobs, sirens, keypads, panels under warranty or having to charge a customer to change something they only bought 20 months ago harms my business. Texecom and honeywell are noticably more reliable and the price difference is less than a lost service callout. Could you feed that back up the chain Jim?

Their tvi cameras are good for the price

Some days i would say the best location for an enforcer is the bin, but they are cheap, and people want cheap...

The gent panels are an absolute pig for generating interference on anything near the loop wiring too.

My confidentiality agreement is confidential. Dont tell anybody.

Aye full udl and programming via phone or tablet would be a big plus for me, using a laptop is a pita now compared to mobile devices, and it should be platform independant.
