[Audio Recording On Cctv]

Hi Guys

 

Need a bit of advice as i've never had to do this before.  A customer has asked me to add some microphones into interview rooms at a housing association offices.  The rooms are used to chat with residents (not staff) There is already a camera in each room.  They would like to be able to switch on/off the audio recording and bring on a 'recording in progress' light when needed, this is obviously straight forward but I need to know which microphones you guys would recommend, I know nothing about voice recording so any info would be a great help.  

 

Thanks

[A Bit Of Help With Pet Immune Detectors]

Right then chaps

 

Just been for a survey and the client has 6 Italian whippets ranging from 6-16kg.  She says they jump up onto window sills/worktops and they have free reign of the house when the humans are out. Any ideas on pet immune detectors or just tell her to lock them in a room when she goes out?  Was thinking of contacts on all windows but she was thinking of having it policed so this wouldnt give me my confirmed alarm.  Bit stumped at the moment so any help would be greatly appreciated

[Aluminium Conduit]

Hi guys

 

I don't suppose anybody knows where to get aluminium (aluminum for any americans out there) conduit and fittings. It's about 10-15mm OD with clamp down corners, terminations and T-pieces. I've used it loads in the past but never bought it as there was always plenty of stock in the stores.

 

[Tunstall Audio Entry Replacement]

Hi guys.

Hopefully somebody can help. I've had a client with several residential sites enquire about the replacement of Tunstall equipment, they seem pretty desperate to get away from this equipment but i'm really struggling to find an adiquate replacement.

I need the main door unit to have a keypad with large buttons for residents with arthritis, the internal unit needs to be 'hands free' (no hand set) but also with a large button to answer and to release the entry door. Ideally these units wiil also need to be adapted to use with a pendant worn around their necks. 

This is everything that the current equipment does so i'm hoping one of you wonderful guys know of something. PLEEEEEAAAAAASSSEEE  XXX

[Problems With Optima Compact]

I disagree, optima is a cheap panel that beats its rivals pound for pound

Like James said but they do have their place. I had one in my shed for years protecting motorbikes and tools. Damp horrible place and the little fella just did its stuff and never went wrong. Wouldn't have one for the house though (i know it sounds contradictory) I also fitted a stack of  them in some rather nice holiday cottages (although they were hidden in cupboards because they are ugly as sin) years ago and never heard a peep from them.  Basic things but they do work well for what they are designed for.

[Use Staples?]

i'd be a bit carefull with 8 core, it is easy to stick a leg through it and cause issues, 6 core tends to be fine. Stapling around skirting, architrave and coving i find tends to be a lot neater and lest intrusive than trunking. Just run a bit of decorators chalk across the cable to blend it into ceiling/walls. Magnolia chalk is heaven sent
