This the answer I needed. I can install alarms and cameras no problem, I just haven't had a install role. So from your answer I guess I need to get a install role and get more experience before going out. I do my own bits at the weekend so I know I more the capable but on a larger scale I'm not sure?  Thanks

 

Probably best to stick that ,and not do anything that might be conflict of interest with your employer, assuming they only do fire ?

I found specific testers much easier to use on site have a BBV and a Ranger.

My old boss wouldnt even by a hand held scope, mind you £300 was a weeks wages back then, I had to take a full size one to site

Or behind a multiplexer with your scope checking you have 1v p to p. I always found it terribly clever how the mplexer encoded and decoded onto a vhs.   

 

And the sync, was it 0.3v

 

Used to play pool / drink in the pub against one of the men that came up with the multiplexer

No skill with Hikvision thats why its so popular, its all plug and play. Do you know how to back-focus a camera? ( i dont mean focus I mean back-focus) Do you know what any of the stuff in the OSD is for like what BLC stands for or HLC stands for, shutter speeds? Very few people installing cameras nowadays have any idea on what settings to use, Hik have taken all the skill away and now a ten year old can claim to be a CCTV expert

 

He doesn't need too,that's like asking him to snap wire a door

Beat me to it, we're dinosaurs in comparison with skills that are no longer needed, don't knock plug and play in a few years home security will be wireless plug and play interconnected to your Alexa... Oh... 

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
