  1. I agree, Police officers seldom know the law regarding CCTV I had one try to tell me that I could not have a camera viewing the customers car as it viewed the street. I was so surprised that not only did she know the law that she was supposed to upheld, but she was spouting complete and utter rubbish to someone that is familiar with the laws regarding CCTV. I have many times had to explain to the Police how to use the evidence that we have recorded for them, if the system is not compliant then it has to be used to get an admission not as evidence.
  2. Hi Charlie You are absolutely right, however, it is one thing for a person to stand in the street with a camcorder filming, it is obvious that sound is likely to be recorded and people observing this are unlikely to divulge any personal private matters in front of your camera. With CCTV on the other hand it may not even be immediately obvious that there is a camera present, and even so, there is still no reason to assume that audio is being recorded. Therefore if allowed, CCTV could capture audio that was intended as private but not unlawful. In the UK we put signs up to warn people that CCTV is in operation, if people ignore the signs and continue to break the law then they deserve everything they get. But people that are not breaking the law and going about their everyday business are entitled to have their conversations kept private. The whole purpose of CCTV is to deter or capture crime, not invade peoples private conversations.
  3. I prefer snooker to pool, I don't mind playing pool but I cant watch it its to americanised on TV
  4. Yeah when I saw it with all the toys I thought that's what I want, that and the fact that I really missed my X Type
  5. I purchased my jag on the review JC gave he beat the sun from Lands End to somewhere near Essex
  6. No adverts on Netflix, if it went on ITV I would have to wtch it on catch up to avoid the adds
  7. No, the whole point of posting this is to see if anyone knows anything about them, i.e. prove my suspicions wrong or right. I haven't accused them of doing anything wrong although I have said I suspect they are misleading the public. I suppose I could have just posted does anyone know who they are and can they confirm they are legit, but that would imply that I think they may be innocent until proven otherwise, which they could be
  8. I know that much dumb ass, I posted it here hoping someone more intelligent than you would come along and have an answer
  9. http://www.cctv-information.co.uk/i/CCTV Misleading website gives the impression that they offer a free service, I suspect the companies they recommend pay them for leads
  10. I look after the alarm at one of the producers houses, he wanted CCTV and we got talking
  11. We had to use a clock radio in the bedroom swapped the standard leds for ir ones thats why the ir is all over the place, his wife told him she was testing it for her mother, the clock radio is quite funky though you can only read it at night. The other two we used black IR the one in the kitchen there was no where to hide the IR so there is no ir
  12. Funnily I thought that, apparently they had been planning this for some time with his wife so they new what he wore in bed. I was also concerned about the privacy issues of between him arriving home and going to bed.
  13. Been up all night working on this, but the final edit turned out really good really please with the 1.3mp cams they did a great job
  14. Bizzare because in the early years NSI frowned upon their use Welcome BTW
  15. If the bell still sounds when you down power it then why are you changing the battery? Its not essential that the sa battery is replaced unless it is really u/s, the chances of someone breaking in to your property and completely down powering the alarm system is low. The bellbox looks like a Nova 6 so there is a screw behind the blue lense if you look closely you will see there is screw cover in the lense. Personally I would not bother until the battery fails completely
  16. Pleased to see you are giving as good as you get there. As for the fault I have never known any addressable fire panel do that with no faults but I cant see how you have it wired or what its wired too. I would test that it works ok firstly then secondly look to see which relay is clicking if it has one Im not familiar with Gent, there a closed protocol system.
  17. It would if they want the CCTV to be admissible though. Domestic can do what they like so long as they are not breaking any privacy laws. But if you want the CCTV to used as evidence it has to comply
  18. That said the question is about data protection and CCTV Hi Sophie The ico does not like audio recordings with CCTV system besides anything else it also breaks a few privacy laws, and unless your system is fully compliant with the DPA the CCTV would not be admissible in court anyway It sounds like you are having environmental problems you can get more information on what to do here https://www.gov.uk/local-environmental-quality I would swerve the swan kit like my life depended on it.
  19. There is nothing in the standard that says you must or must not have flashing leds. Most modern hardwired BB do have flashing Leds, most wireless dont. There are hard wired box's available without Leds. It depends on what type of intruder you are likely to get as to whether he will even notice if you have an alarm, a professional burglar will have done his homework, and a drugged up opportunist wont notice the bell at all until its ringing.
  20. £10 pcm no call charges? are you paying less than £10pm on mobile calls currently? Also if you dont make enough calls to warrant the sim what makes you think you're going need to call two mobiles at the same time?
  21. There used to be a Modem type thingy that you put a sim card in that connected to you pabx and everytime you dialed an 07 it used the modem all other numbers used the standard line. Cant you do something like that?
