right will go for the swann then lol

im desperate for work mate, theres **** all round here

sorry I misread it Im sorry

I meant as in cables and connections to crimp!

I know what you were trying to do, so why mess about and give trick comments we're all here to help and advise each other!

Brands?

I think I might go for that tbh, will the image be better on the esp in terms of recording does it come with all the cables etc?, and yes I understand its a budget system but just want to install the best system I can within the price range and required resolution

thats his budget though can't go any higher thats why im asking, what are them esp kits like from security warehouse

£150 a day labor, look I just want some advise tbh the guy says what he wants hes the client I can only advise id want to put a hikvision in tbh

Hi Been asked to install a CCTV system for a client max budget is around £400. Now he's spotted a swann system in maplins for £340 and says he'd like that but if I could find anything better then get that, but he said he wants it to be at least 720p recording and image. I'm not to keen on using a swann system but having difficulty find another system that users that particular spec or better for the same price. Any1 got any ideas on something other than a swann kit?

the oly otherplace I can put it that's practicle is in the entry exit route, then it means theres 30 seconds for someone to pull it off the wall also its further away from the telephone connection, plus if they break that then it wont call out

so it's ok then?, or should i try push them to put it elsewhere? I mean in my eyes it wouldn't cause any problems in practice does anything else you plug into a kitchen socket and leave have any troubles?

Hi Just woundering if its ok to install a control panel within a kitchen area the fused spur would be mounted at cieling height from a cieling rose connected to the lighting for the house which is located within the loft space!. The panel would be very clear of the surfaces within the kitchen but at an acceble height on the wall adjacent to the living room. Also it's away from the cooker and any sources of steam like a kettle!. It will be placed within a closed kitchen cabinet in the future would this be acceptable its's just in terms of the security and what the client wants it'd be the best place to install. I understand that since 2013 kitchens were taken off from part P as special locations would this till be ok?

Hi, After inspecting the wiring from a previous installation I've noticed that the person who installed the wiring originally has used an 8 core cable to supply two detectors, and connect the global tamper in series which to me seems acceptable, but they have also spured the 12V supplies from one detector to anther. Would this be acceptable if I left it as it is?, as each zone will still be independent from one another?, just to be honest I've never really come across many cases like this and if it was me I would use a 6 core cable for each detector!

disconnected all terminals and checked aux terminals still read 0 volts, its a new panel I recently ordered but noticed when i opened the sounder box it didnt come with the fixing screws or tamper bolt, so im woundering if it could have been a return?, also the battery supplied didnt seem to have much juice in it, and they supplied me with the honeywell IS312B detecors when they said they would supply me with activ8 ones.

Not sure if anyone has had a simular problem but just powered up an accenta g4 panel today with remote keypad, sounder went off keypad worked etc, but when I checked the pir that i connected to test the system there was no led flashing. So i checked the voltage across the terminals and they read zero volts, i then tested the the cables continuity and everything seemed fine. But when I came to check the voltage on the panel side I got no reading, I also checked the voltage outputs near the fire terminal on the top and these read ov. I checked all the fuses and these were fine!

Hi All, Just gone out to provide a quote for an install using existing cables. Now the existing panel was positioned within a walk in cupboard that is currently been converted into a toilet area including a wash basin(no shower or bath). Now I said to the client I can install the panel else where but they want it to stay where it was originally. Now I understand that a bathroom including a bath/shower would defiantly come under a notifiable job under part p, and all electrics should be at least IP33 rated. would an area with a toilet & sink be ok?, or would this still be a problem?

Yeh like I said previously already tried setting it off, and that I think its a battery failure. Just need engineers manual its an old system not familiar with it, just need the engineers manual so I can see how it works for myself!

the other 4 onboard outputs?, you've lost me now, just im used to having all sounder connections grouped together, and with no access to the programming manual I've got no chance of programming that thing

Just as a test measure for the bell outputs, if I close loop sab with the terminal to the right with the black wire, with the 4k7 resistor in series this should allow me to test the +/- bell outputs? Hi thanks, yeah understand this terminal, its just the sab, and the other just need to know iun order to test it can i just close loop it or will I need the resistor in series with the close loop if you get me Also I've noticed theres no strobe, thinking it may be a gd idea to advise them to get a new control panel, sounder, and new detectors and keep existing door contacts as apparently these were changed recently, just the only other option in my eyes is to use the existing sounder without the battery and close loop the tamper, or to put a new sounder on which has a strobe which doesn't operate

Great I took some photos while I was there so can put them up as soon as, and dont worry I didnt really want to touch any of the connections before seeing the PCB schematic, or asking sum1 thats more familiar with the system!
