    I've fitted a few HIK systems and haven't had any callbacks with faults. For now I wouldn't bother with IP and would go HD-CVI, still 1080p images and the price is usually cheaper than IP.
  2. Lwillis
    What are the extra restrictions of CVI over TVI? As far as I can see CVI give greater cable runs, also offers recording in 1080p can be run on cat 5 or rg59 SDI seems like the one with more issues (from experiance) than CVI. Although I have not use TVI.
  3. Lwillis
    CVI can handle longer cable runs than SDI without repeaters or loss of image quality.

    Didn't think they offered the digi air. That what I was referring too. Nothing against them, some of the best installs I've seen are by the big 3

    As above id say Either have a local Telecoms engineer sort the sockets out And switch from ADT to a local-Taking over an ADT system shouldn't be an issue for most locals. Check SSAIB or NSI for a local company Is the system monitored via the telephone line or are they just using the phone line for Remote Servicing ? Its probably not £1k for a new control unit but it depends on what you've got installed already.

    I've ground quite fond of these after fitting a few of late. Not had any major issues with them!
  7. Lwillis
    They aren't that difficult to do. Its not the router
  8. Lwillis
    Its not the router it just how you've set it up. Assign the DVR a device name and then re do the DMZ
  9. Lwillis
    Might have different termology I don't think you can turn it off tho. Please correct me if I'm wrong

    The loop back stops the customer from using the dynamic DNS we setup when they are on their own WiFi So they end up having 2 sites in the app for the same place 1-local (when on same WiFi as the dvr) 2-remote (everywhere else) So use the customers router. Had a few issues with Homehubs but nothing major recently same with the technicolour ones I've done quite a few now no issues.
  11. Lwillis
    Technicolour are a heap of ***** but I've never had one that didn't work first time. I've noticed there's quite a few routers now with the loopback blocking turned on.

    That panel is obsolete now as has been for a while. I'd reccomend contacting a local approved company and getting it serviced. It will most likely require a new standby battery.
  13. Lwillis
    Run 1 8core to each device. And screened cable to the keypad. Extra cable from panel into loft space. And run one into garage for keypad

    You'll need to check the trigger type for the dialler It probably -ve trigger so connect it to a programmable output an program a intruder or the bell -ve trigger

    The viper, with the led on is the zone clear?
  16. Lwillis
    You need to drop the power to it for a few seconds before setting, we used to fit a n/c button on the bottom of the panel or adj the rkp.
  17. Lwillis
    Not sure on the older ones but if you go into zones it will give you the option of zones or rf zones.

    christ, at a previous firm we were issued with a small 3 tred pair of domestic steps, for the house bashing stuff, instead of using the fiberglass ones. id just stand on a chair TBH lol

    I'm going to go to work tomorrow, bell my boss to FO and I want a cherry picker on every job because the ladders aren't safe. Can't use a pair if snips incase I cut myself. Or enter people houses incase I get a splinter from the cupboard door the panels in .
  20. Lwillis
    Well I could have climbed up the ladders and stepped off them onto the roof, but the window was an easier option. So has nobody here taken any risks in their entire career? I'm not saying id Hanging off some tray and fit a camera but calculated low risk IMO tasks are okay.
  21. Lwillis
    Wasn't that bad of a pitch, I'd say falling from ladders would have been worse. Grass isn't allways greener , especially when people bull **** you in the interview!!

    My first call tomorrow is booked for 9am (well between 9-12) in penrith. I'm on the coast near Newcastle upon Tyne. So about a 2hr drive to get to site. I could potentially get a call at 6am be out for 3 hours. Which would mean I'm pushing back jobs and won't get in until late and will miss appointment times. As others have said its not ideal but it's a means to a way. Climbed out of a bedroom window the other day and stood on a small pitched roof to replace a Bell. ( longest laddders wouldn't reach over the small extension). Wouldn't get a cheery picker in either. I decided the risk was okay to do it.
  23. Lwillis
    That rule Wouldn't work for me. Last place I worked at had the rest time but I usually ended up going in for 9 anyway.
  24. Lwillis
    How does that work if you have a call booked for 9am? Just cancel it? If no other engineers are avliable that is?
  25. Lwillis
    Yeah was only kidding, I'd have to check my contract if it's in there, but tbh I don't get that many calls and quite enjoy the peace being away from the missus on calls lol.
