    Err, well unless on engineer reset, no.
  2. sixwheeledbeast
    Have you reset the system? It's possible the battery charging circuit is faulty or has a blown fuse.
  3. sixwheeledbeast
    The negative posts are obviously from individual experience. To each there own, not one panel will suit all installers for one reason or another. Some of the positives you mention are negatives for others.

    I assumed standard practice for CR's. After a number of 18-23 month failures you realise it's not worth testing them.
  5. sixwheeledbeast
    It's 20 years old and most likely never been serviced in years get the system decommissioned or upgraded.
  6. sixwheeledbeast
    A shed full of servers will do then?

    This is a fair point who wires plug tops to there new goods any more. The difference I suppose is isolation and competence, plugged in equipment can be isolated easily and without being competent. Arguments aside did you not get your answers to your three questions in post 2?

    0.75mm flex is rated to 6A.
  9. sixwheeledbeast
    So you reading PM's now or not

    Follow the manufacturers instructions and choose the best position with that as a guide. Post 2 was generic so advise would be the same upstairs.
  11. sixwheeledbeast
    You need to contact your installer.

    It's double NAT'ed by the sounds of things. If this is the case there are a few ways to resolve. Remove NAT from one device. Correctly configure the NAT to stagger through the deivces. Or worse case option is to DMZ the first NAT device (useful to check for double NAT)

    If red is radiators then SW would not be facing windows from your diagram. However, I did say that the plan doesn't help. They cover 90 degree so it can be a waste in flat.
  14. sixwheeledbeast
    Facing away but across any windows would be best. Both to reduce the chance of sunlight issues and cover the potential break in points better. Adjacent a radiator could be an issue whereas facing one on a wall opposite would be less so. You could also fit DT's instead if there are concerns with FA's The plan doesn't give the full picture but SW corners?

    Use what the manufacturers recommend. I agree, would use Belden for RS485, that's what it's designed for.
  16. sixwheeledbeast
    Cost hight? Definitely biased
  17. sixwheeledbeast
    never installed one but it sounds like something that should be in the user guide.
  18. sixwheeledbeast
    Sometimes the weight issue is more to do with how balanced the drill is. If the battery is at the front it can feel twice as heavy as others.
  19. sixwheeledbeast
    I always thought the best location was the bin, myself.
  20. sixwheeledbeast
    Yep, there's a HD camera mod. With it's WiFi and small housing you will only have to worry about powering it.
  21. sixwheeledbeast
    RPi?
  22. sixwheeledbeast
    VPN's also have vulnerabilities as you say. Ports are there for hosting applications. In the future v6 will probably replace the need for NAT anyway. I do agree devices aren't open enough to know about any vulnerabilities. When they sell there kit there not interested in patching like the rest of the IT world, they move on. I think more needs to be done from the manufacturers end. Here's that blog
  23. sixwheeledbeast
    Contact the ICO to see what they recommend? There needs to be a secure method of transferring the footage IMO.
  24. sixwheeledbeast
    Risks are unsecure devices rather than the act of port forwarding. The equipment would need to adapted by having random default passwords for example. I recall a blog on this very topic by Joe a while back.
