[Risco Iwise Installation On Galaxy Flex]

I am trying to install a risk Iwise RK815DTG3 sensor onto a honeywell galaxy flex panel.

 

The anitmasking mentions 12K resistor, which is selectable on the risco sensor, but this seems to be a combined fault and antimask.

 

The wiring diagram in the flex manual shows the as separate switches - one for the fault (3K resistor) and one for the anti-mask (12K).

 

Any ideas of how I wire this.

[Active Beams]

Thanks. Seems like need to toss a coin to decide, as not much difference in price between the 2 brands.

[Ip Cctv Cameras]

Thanks for the responses. Seems to be a bit of a mixed picture in terms of the hikivision.

 

Looking in the same price area then I saw that there is also a brand called Dahau, which I think is a Chinese company similar to hikivision.

 

I also saw a brand called vivotek. So not sure if anyone has used these. 

 

The axis seem to be a very good brand but cost is to high for me.

 

Another choice could be a samsung tech win. Any ideas?

[Ip Cctv Cameras]

Was looking to buy a IP CCTV camera and wanted some advice on a good make and model.

 

Would like to have a PoE and be able to stream in real time to an iPad or Mac.

 

Also would like an external camera with night vision capability.

 

Was thinking around £200 or so for each camera.

 

So was thinking about the hikivision or may be samsung.

 

Any views and ideas?

[Active Beams]

Wanted to add some external active beams.

 

The Risco ones seemed to be cheap - so was wondering if they are any good?

 

 

[Galaxy Wireless]

Thanks for the advice on this.

[Galaxy Wireless]

I have a galaxy flex panel and want to add wireless to it. 

 

I understand I can use both the Galaxy Flex Direct Mount RF Portal (A073-00-01) and also the C079-2 (RF portal in plastic housing).

 

Is there any advantage/disadvantage between them?

 

I assume that I could still use the C079-2 if I upgrade my current panel to a galaxy dimension? Also I assume that the C079-2 can be located away from the main panel and so would be able to locate it to get the best signal?

 

 

[Office Cabin]

Have run direct burial alarm cable to outside office wooden cabin. Plan to install PIR detector - any views on which are good detectors to have? 

 

[Direct Burial Alarm Cable]

Thanks for that. 

[Direct Burial Alarm Cable]

Looking to buy some direct burial alarm cable preferably by the meter. Any ideas of where I can get this?

[Novagard 6 High Security Upgrade Kit]

Looking to buy this but can not seem to fin any one on line selling these. Any ideas of where to get one?

[Rs 485 Cable]

OK. Thanks. Do you need CAT5e or CAT6 then to run hdsdi? I assume CAT6 is also ok for the internal honeywell panels?

[Rs 485 Cable]

Thanks for the advice. Will use Cat5 cable. I take from the comments I should use stranded rather than solid copper cable? Was also thinking about using the Cat5 cable to install some security cameras, so assume should external grade cable? Would be good just to get a 100m real so can do the lot. 

[External Sounder For Galaxy Flex]

Thanks for the a advice I went with the novagard 6. I see you can connect 2 together. Would this work with the honeywell flex?

[External Sounder For Galaxy Flex]

Any views on what would be a good external sounder for the flex. Not sure if to go with a honeywell or other brand?

[Protection Of Cabin And Shed]

I have a galaxy flex control panel and would like to protect a new office cabin in the garden. Was not sure best route to go - either in install the RF module in the panel and wireless detectors or use direct burial cable directly and normal wired sensors. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

[Rs 485 Cable]

It is to connect a honeywell touch screen to a honeywell alarm panel. There is a 485 bus connector on the panel. I think 485 is called EIA-485 now and seems to be 4 core screened pair cable.

[Rs 485 Cable]

Any ideas of where I can buy this cable from?
