cctv

Not exactly home automation (although I do have a lot of it), however it is a integral part my life and one may find it interesting. Regards: Elliott.

Good afternoon, I have recently moved in to a property which has a communal Intercom system installed but the handset in my flat was ripped off by previous tenant (for some unknown reason :mad:). I have bought a new handset which seems to be a upgrade of the last one (possibly discontinued) &...

Hi, I have an Enforcer V10 system and have been looking at adding the new Pyronix Wifi Cameras (specifically the outdoor mini-domes). I was wondering if anybody has any experience with them (as they are so new). I know they have a sd card and you can access the video via the new app just...

Hi, a friend if mine has bought a house, which has 8 core alarm cable run from (1) front of the house, (2) back of the house and (3) garden shed to the electrical cupboard underneath the stairs. The cables are just rolled up without any connectors/connections and it seems like it has never been...

Hi Guys, I am going to be installing a CCTV system on my property this week, though i have been skeptical on how to hide the wiring on the external brick wall. I do not want to recess the wires into to wall or through the cavity. I would just prefer to cable clip the wires on the brick wall...

Hi All, I am considering updating my old Alarm system and had a few questions I was hoping some of you guys might be able to help with. My current alarm system is a wired system with PIRs, bell and front door contact. It has a main panel and a wired keypad. 1) In upgrading it, I was hoping I...

Hi all Is there anybody that help me with this please, I am desperate. I have bought a house this year fully kitted with a Pyronix enforcer 32. When I was renovating the house I remove all power from the control panel and the plan was to move the panel to a different area. But from my little...

Hello I want to install an internal CCTV camera in the kitchen facing the garden door. I need to mount the camera on to the ceiling (dome camera). The only way I can get power to the camera is by taking a feed from a near by downlight. Am I 'allowed' to do this? Would I be breaking any...

Some one posted a worrying and plausible issue with burglary. I imagine that this is a common technique as there's nothing worse that breaking into a seemingly unoccupied house to find four marines sleeping off that night's champagne party :eek: + :mad::mad::mad::mad: = :cry: I've thought of...

Hi Guys I am trying to justify buying a Hickvision CCTV system over the Swann version, having read reviews on the Hik system certainly seems better but is it that much better than the Swann kitto justify the initial extra cost ? The Hik system I was thinking of – initially only 2 camera 1 x...

Evening all I am looking to install a wired CCTV kit but an struggling to route the cables due to the build of our house. The external walls are granite and almost 2' thick so drilling a 30mm + hose would be a pita. I though of routing the wires through the loft out a vent but having been up...

Bit of an odd one. I have 4 POE cams running to an NVR, all good up until a few days ago. One camera during the day just shows a white screen until night time when the infra red comes on then it looks fine.

Hi I've trawled this forum trying to find an answer to this problem and i've found similar problems but not exactly this fault. We've lived at current property for about a year. It was built in 2004 with standard veritas v8 alarm system. Never had any problems until last week when the alarm...

This question develops //www.diynot.com/diy/threads/dummy-cctv-camera.423747/ All the dummy cameras I've seen are either entirely passive, or have that annoying and totally unauthentic flashing LED on. Are there any dummy cameras that feature the ring of dim red LEDs around the lens...

I have a number of IP Cams outside my house and one them is a Foscam FI9853EP PoE cam. The stock f:2.8 70° lenses is just not wide enough for the 90° inside wall corner where the cam is installed in, so today I went ahead and ordered a f:2.8 115° lens. Hopefully it will fit, but even if it...

morning all. I'm usually found in the plumbing forum so first time here... howdy (y) I have a largish lodge type building at the end of my garden which my sons use for drumming and gaming and generally keeping out of our way. When I built it several years ago, I ran 4 or 5 strands of Cat5e down...

I have seen this product that is designed to keep spiders of of CCTV camera, and just wondering if anyone has used it before and is it any good? Just need a way of keeping spiders of my CCTV cam's outside as the cobwebs blowing in the wind keeps triggering the motion detection at night...
