Driller

Inspite of my punctual presence here, my 2p: The Member's Lounge for me has been a strange one because the name would suggest a place to hang out and chat about general stuff but a trend seems to have developed whereby specific technical questions are asked-and answers given, to the point that it's become a sort of General Security Questions forum. Maybe drop the "members" part and call it Public Lounge to avoid confusion with the general questions section?

Saw the Aiphone rep today and had a demo of IX, IS, JP, LEF etc Loads of interesting solutions and definitely something that will do the job. Actually there are almost too many solutions to choose from, it’s going to be a headache! Thanks to Datadiffusion for the tip for Aiphone.

Thought I'd start a separate thread for this as it's quite specific. Any bods here know about these two systems? Installed a DB system with 5 room stations and a nice flush vandal plate when I opened the practice 5 years ago which has been great all round and for internal communication (calling assistants etc). With the extension though it's going to need something like 12 intercommunicating master/subs. I've had a look at the spec sheets and it's seems it's either the IS or newer IX systems which will do it. The AX only does 8 stations sadly-shame that. Any suggestions for IS, IX or run away? Oh yeah, decided to not go for modding the IP phones just because the phones will be on a desk in the surgeries, not next to the dental chairs so not practical in that regard.

**** must stop going to work on Sundays...dunno about having to ride to "get" a moto GP, seeing them jostling for position at the front is instinctively exciting for anyone IMO, haven't had that in F1 for years. For whatever reason there's less sponsor money in it than F1 though. They should get Bernie in to sort it out-I hear he's available (actually best not, he'll only f%*k it up like he did F1).

Yeah it was glorious wasn't it, Hamilton must have had a massive grin on his face as he drove off into the sunset! Hopefully the Renault engine will be up for it next year but a patient who's a Renault F1 engineer reckon's they're still going to have problems, which is a great shame for the fans. Yeah the way the building is laid out means the cables can easily be pulled back to node zero to keep the networks separated. It's a pity that bike racing isn't better televised because the racing is so much more exiting but it just doesn't have that "human" factor somehow probably from lack of publicity.

Hello mate good to hear from you, yeah it's going good thanks, hope the installing's going well! Yeah Rosberg had that annoying entitled child aura about him didn't he but it made for exciting stuff with Hamilton. Hamilton's massive engine failure (no, no!) was the nail in the coffin imo. Didn't Rosberg steal all his engineers too? lol Totally agree about the aero, they need to make it easier to overtake but the aero is big business apparently so it's not going to change any time soon, big shame. I have to admit to taking some pleasure seeing Vettel throw his championship down the pan when he drove into Vestappen and Raikonnen

Dammit, it's the Alzheimers setting in, we've had discussions about bikes too (Tiger Sport here), you did some track days if the memorie's not completely shot? Actually that HD over coax could be very handy for upgrading home as the cables were a bit of a bitch to pull. For the bandwidth question I assumed the two networks would be separate with just an ethernet cable to the NVR, could have got that wrong though. There was a problem with the IP phones cocking up the computer network when the networks were connected together. Ciscos are SPA504g don't know if that's Linksys or not? It's a centrex system btw, very handy to be able to do everything at distance. Didn't know you were an F1 fan James, what do you think of the new regs? Hoping it's going to be more interesting next year but don't we always.

That sounds like it could work well and I just just found the web based setup for the Ciscos so will give it a bash-thanks! Hi SWB, yeah the drilling's going good thanks, must be doing something right as they're dying to get in lol TBH I think the easiest is going to be a rewire-it's all single storey with suspended ceilings so dead easy for pulling network cables and that way I get to sample the joy of IP. For bandwidth presumably good quality CAT6 or 7 with a clean install and decent POE switch? You still following F1? Rosberg finally got it (controversially) but it's all got a bit tedious now.

That's an interesting idea. We have an IP phone system in place with Cisco units so maybe that could be modified. Need to be a one touch affair though. Was hoping to avoid Hikvision, Swann no chance lol Looks like their prices have dropped drastically, could be a possibility. Any thoughts on 2mp vs 4mp? Love the new multi quote system btw!

Hi Mr H, how are you? It's been a while. Actually they need a bit of a polish, are you offering? :-D

Hi Everyone, Hope all is well in the installer world. A few of you may remember my installation of CCTV and Galaxy panels of a few years ago (and much mirth over drainpipes ;)). I'm going to be building a large extension on the work premises and although the current G2-44 with it's extra RIO panel should hold it's own, the analogue Techwin CCTV is going to need an upgrade to a 16 channel IP system. Will probably upgrade the home system at the same time, this time with a bit more Symmetry perhaps... It seems that a lot has changed in the time since the last install with IP being the go-to thing. It would appear that in middle of the road systems there is a choice between 2MP with 4MP being even better if there is sufficient bandwidth in the network to support it. Same principles for FOV and choosing lenses presumably. Having got my head quite well around the analogue world I now find myself a newby in the world of IP. Any general tips or recommendations? Will probably go for Techwin again for good quality to price ratio although they appear to have been bought out by another company. In addition can anyone recommend a standalone duplex IP intercom system that could be used between say 10 rooms with each unit being able to call all the others, not necessarily with a door unit (this could be a separate system)?

Nice one!

Oh FFS!

Sincerely, it's a real pleasure Joe and the least I could do for all the folk here being so generous with their help and being ready to share precious information with me over the years (and years to come hopefully). (Actually I'm hoping to get a little custom title over my avatar, saying The Dentist or something like that )

Post #13? Nope, can't do a thing with that, sorry. Well, maybe smash them all out with a baseball bat but not with a view to restoring them afterwards.

BTW I'm not here all the time so don't hesitate to bump a question if it doesn't get answered immediately. Maybe someone can spread the word on that. You can PM me too if you'd prefer not to use the open forums.

Ferkin 'ell, this thread got big, quick I should try to at least get the filling redone, not a good idea to leave the inside of a tooth open to the elements, you can always crown it later. Only get it pulled if it's completely shanted, teeth are precious and implants are even more expensive... Good going on the tooth brush deal though lol! If starts to get worse though go and see someone, an infected tooth hurts like **** as you know. Well that was a bit daft The sensitivity as you describe it (ie generalised and not just one tooth) probably isn't related to your "traumatic incident". A lot of folk have sensitive teeth in this way, especially during and after cleans, myself included. The area around the neck of the teeth has thousands of tiny little tubes leading to the nerve in the middle. These tubes contain a fluid and when this fluid is disturbed (either mechanically by a sadistic hygienist or by osmotic pressure changes from sugar in food or forced evaporation/expansion/contraction by hot or cold) the nerve gets a little jolt resulting in that wonderful electric shock feeling we all know and love. Using Sensodyne helps a lot but there's probably not a lot to do about the hygienist except grin and bear it or give her a left hook if she's causing severe discomfort. If the sensitivity is related just to that damaged tooth then maybe a resin composite (stick on) filling could help. At any rate, if it took a shock you should at least get an xray taken of it as sometimes the tooth can die years after the shock and get infected. An xray will confirm all ok or not. Hope you got on ok with your fat Welsh bird. Shame your aim wasn't better, she could have broken your fall

Well usually if cold calms a tooth pain this suggests infection which suggests the RCT (root canal therapy) has failed. At this point I need to state the caveat that I can't guarantee anything a 100% I write on here as I only have descriptions to go by! The 6 tooth is a molar with three roots and normally 3 canals. Sometimes however the ones at the top can have 4 canals which can catch a dentist out from time to time. I've root treated this tooth before now and had to go back in later to find and fill the hidden 4th canal after the patient complains of discomfort. Try tapping (gently!) on the tooth with the end of a knife handle. If it's more sensitive to this than those around then this tooth is probably the problem. ETA cause the bloody number lock was off!

sjsTurner said: didnt know we had our own dentist on here! i had root canal about two years ago and occasionally get pain in the same place normally after eating chocolate and other rubbish,is that normal? he didnt even numb it when doing the rct it hurt like a biatch especially afterwards for about 5 hours! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're getting pain when eating chocolate this suggests a nerve involved on a decayed or sensitive tooth so maybe the next tooth along which is not root treated? Otherwise if the pain is happening when you bite down on a hard bit a chocolate this would suggest the root treatment has failed. Do cold things hurt the tooth in question? ETA which tooth was root treated BTW? ETA2 Beat you to it, I transfered your post from the other thread

Can't see how to transfer quotes so, Oxo said: So Driller, what else is needed. Just applied for a freebie new Colgate toothpaste on the market (Check FB) but generally use Sensodyne and Oral B toothpastes alternating. As one is for whitening and the other for general good hygiene. Change the Oral B lekky brush head every 3 months. Have to admit oral hygiene was poor in the past especially with smoking ( Stopped 10 yrs ago). Any suggestions for more years with all the nashers with a reasonable "white" finish. (Thinking about a "bleaching"), but will the crown not be affected? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually for cleaning the type/make etc of toothpaste doesn't make any difference as most of the cleaning effect is from the brush, the toothpaste is there just to help things along a bit. If you've got sensitive choppers though Sensodyne is very good. Oral-B electric brush is very good and good value at £15 or £20, no need for a £100+ gadget. I'm all for whitening although prices vary (!), crown won't be affected at all so in fact you have to be careful depending where it is to avoid looking like a zebra crossing!

As suggested here by Oxo, http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/34167-g2-siren-current-draw-again/page-2 and after all the kind help (albeit with a certain degree of piss taking ) you guys have given me over the years, this thread is an opportunity to give something back. So, any questions about teeth in general, including implants, fire away

Indeed!

Yeah, that's the default and I didn't change it. I'm pretty sure it's not a network problem though because I am getting through to the DVR, it's just that the image frames are dark with a X and "failed to connect". Ok, once again I've been pissing around whilst writing this and I had to put in the last number of the range ie 558. Works perfectly now, a million thanks chaps!

Ok so just upgraded to latest firmware (v1.11) but still no go. I can confirm that I can acces at distance with a pc using the webviewer app so presumably all is well with the router config. With the iPolis app the messa ge I get is "Cannot connect to the network. Please complete the device setings at your next access". Wait a minute...just looked at your post again Breff http port 80 rtsp 554 done that and things have advanced! Trouble now is it goes to the video feed page on the iPhone which it didn't before but the feeds have a no-entry sign. Any clue?
