  2. Looks like I'll just pull 4 in, anyway price has gone in now!
  3. I'm pricing an install where I need to future proof for expansion. Currently 16 cams on site, I'll be adding another 8 but with potential for 8 more after that (I'm swapping out existing DVR & installing 2 x 16 ways). I need to allow for some redundancy in case of cable breakdown & the additional possibility of maybe 1 or 2 more cameras. Power will be available at the camera split location where the duct comes out the ground. then run up a pole where cables will be aerial with catenary wire. This will prevent voltage drop. All cams will be HD-TVI 1080p 2mp 2.8mm - 12mm varifocal domes/bullets depending on location. I have to install cams approx 100 or so metres away from DVR. I came across a US manufacturer who makes 4 or even 8 CAT cables in one outer sheathing. This would need to be duct grade preferably gel filled. Obviously I can pull 4 in, but if there is a supplier in the UK that does this I would like a price. I have trade accounts with Luxrite, System Q, CEF, Kew, HBL, Norbain, Techvision, SAS but none of them do this. I have contemplating putting a cab in to the expansion area and multiplexing the signals back to the DVR then separating them maybe using fiber, but I think the cost will be prohibitive. Any suggestions?
  4. I did a few CVI installs a couple of years back, a few SDI after that but past 18 months all TVI Hik kit

  9. Just ordered some HD baluns, I'm doing this tomorrow, will report back the results...
  10. Bloody hell I suppose I could try that... where he wants a 3rd cam there's already 2 on a pole mount, I suppose if I could get that to work I could split the power from 1 to 3 cams leaving the power spare & try it... I hadn't thought about that, but will baluns work for AHD?
  11. Hehe I know right? He came to me after it was all done... here Steve I need to add a camera to this... blah blah blah.... sheesh...
  12. I'm familiar with the CCTV mule product from systemq, I spoke to them yesterday they said 2 HD cams cannot be chucked down 1 cable... anyone know of a product to get around it? (Install already done, all cables chased in to walls/under flooring/inside metal conduit, wants 1 more camera) Not one of my jobs, just helping out a mate. Any one know of a way round it without recabling? I suggested changing DVR for Tribrid then changing the 1 HD cam for 2 x analogue but they do not want to do that... all...
  13. The finished product, straight from the oven! https://t.co/DtggdamW6d

  17. Thanks for all your replies gents, quite a thread! Well, since posting this I have done 3 installs with Hikvision tribrid recorders (HD Turbo variety) and 2 using the Dahua kit. The Hikvision is 1080p 2mp & the Dahua is 720p 1.3mp, all using varifocal domes. Well, quite honestly, they all work great & finding differences is hard. I'm still really none the wiseras to which is best, but I am finding the tribrid Hikvision HD Turbo with associated cameras from MIECCTV is generating the highest profit margin. I've had no call backs & rock solid performance. Easy to use interface with all the features you expect. The Dahua stuff is also great but slightly more expensive. Over thepast 4 years I have installed so many different bits of kit to try to find a decent regular supplier that I can get to know inside out... year before last I installed several Luxrite systems, then last year mainly Alien DVRs from Systemq. All work great with no issues, but price wise more costly. I suppose time will tell whether I get a call back after a year or 5 years! Thanks again for all your replies...

  23. I've got several installs coming up with HD kit. I've installed HD-SDI using Luxrite kit which has been fine, but it's super competitive now with suppliers, I have 4 or 5 of them with similarly specced kit, but I want to only use one supplier that is competitively priced, robust & reliable. I'm looking at the "Alliance" tribrids from MIECCTV (they can take a 12TB eSATA hard drive and analogue & HD-TVI cameras with 2 IP cameras). They seem good spec, cameras 1080p 2mp 2.8mm to 12mm varifocal lenses at a great price. Anyone any opinion on SDI versus TVI and what supplier to use? I've also had quotes from Systemq, Aban technology, CCTV direct & Y3K, MIECCTV come out cheapest.
  24. Awesome customer service from @fiveeightprint due to an address mixup, thanks guys! More business coming your way soon!
