I'm getting there, I'm still employed but get work from friends or family etc.. I have my insurance in place too, just not enuff work to go alone. Tips on advertising?!

Who says you dont learn new stuff every day! So your saying volt testing lead acid batteries doesn't give a good indication, but lithium would? How would you best test a PIR battery then?

Ok , brand wise how do you rate Nexus gear?

Well if I can use wifi then great, but if not then 3g/4g dongle. Whats the best way to do this?

Going to price to fit a single camera/recorder inside a stall in a pub carpark, has power but no net. What's the best route for getting net, router and dongle? Also how do people rate Nexus? Can anyone recommend a brand that suits this? Thanks!

Sorry but can you expand about the service level agreement? Why wouldn't a volt test give a good indication? Other than testing amps what else can you possibly do?

Honestly I had no idea, so all lit up bell boxes need this? I wonder how many actually do this?

what's the issue with this and building regs?

thanks bud, I was on the right track!

why dont you wire it eol?

I've taken over a visonic system, owner has no idea when it was serviced. Which leads me to ask the question, how often should they be changed? (CR123, Bell etc?) I meter the batt and change if below 2.8v but rule of thumb?

Thanks guys, it's simply for subby purposes and domestic work I do.

Who do you guys use?

Thanks for the reply James, the thought process behind going self employed is the lust for being my own boss. Could you guide me towards the best way to get council work? I see what your saying, it's tough everywhere though? There must be ways for people to survive as self employed, what I mean is there's lots of plumbers who are 1 man bands but compete with the 'big boys' as such. Thanks for your info.

Good day people, wish to get advice from people in the know. First up, im a fully qualifed security engineer with a BTEC in security systems. I've got 8 years expreince in dealing with mostly commercial CCTV solutions. However I wish to branch out on my own and become a independent installer. Can I get advice from you for good public liability companies (how much should it cost?) and ways to advertise? Also do I need to be accredited by SSAIB or Nacoss? Thanks in advance!!
