Doktor Jon Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hi sam10693, Welcome to the forum, That is indeed a rather unusual albeit fairly interesting hobby that you're starting there. If I could make a few suggestions for you, first off, please make a point of informing your family that you are a member here; I'm sure all the guys would agree you're very welcome, but in your own interests, they should be aware. Next off, the more equipment you collect, the more challenging it will become to try and get some items, particularly older equipment, back into working order. Now without wishing to state the obvious, tinkering is fine if you know what you are doing, but many items do operate with dangerous internal voltages, so please be very careful and do not do anything that you are in any way unsure about. If you get stuck on something, I'm sure there will be many guys here that would be prepared to offer you some advice and guidance, but it's important to remember that CCTV equipment is mostly industrial in nature, and should be treated with utmost respect at all times. Finally if you want to try and pick up some odds and ends, apart from any generous offers you may receive here, it may be worth writing a few more letters to some key UK based manufacturers or distributors, and you may well continue to be pleasantly surprised by the response. The very best of luck with your hobby DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam10693 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 DJ. Thankyou for the kind and indeed verry helpfull advice but yes when i do operate on items i make shure i were and erth strap and use an RCD just in case. I pay cctv items my full attention and am verry aware of the dangers as i was once hospitalised by an LJD dome when it zapped me with 230. i do have quite an arsanall of cctv items at my disposall including 6 pan tilt heads and many housings. My parents are absolutely ok with me on this site. I am indeed verry surprised at some of the items i have been given by companies e.g. the Metal mickey the Vcl orbiter and many other cameras including a DVR. Chorton ah ok never mind but ill get posting. Satsuma01 yes any cameras are usefull thankyou i will sort something out within a few days. Anyway thankyou all for being so helpfull it is verry much apriciated. Best regards Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont earth yourself or anything near to you when working near mains, use an RCD, or better still an isolating transformer, but get it wired up by someone who knows what thwy are doing. If you MUST work near mains, keep one hand firmly in your pocket, even with an RCD . My advice.........only work on low volts stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
