  1. Been fixed since your post??
  2. That sounds very low, I take it these are indoor cameras without any kind of IR?
  3. You'll need the wattage or current. To be honest, unless the club is utterly cash strapped, it sounds like a job for a professional.
  4. What is the power rating of each camera?
  5. Power loss, overload on existing psu, and implications for building insurance of diy works.
  6. Don't make me laugh any more or I'll lose my ribs...
  7. Unfortunately, paypal, ebay, do indeed refund the minute evidence of sending any type of tracked package is given. I have even had someone 'return' something using the entered royal mail code 'Fukoffebay'. They of course got a full instant refund, although I did eventually get it reversed after a LOT of shouting...
  8. Is there a position?
  9. If you are going to commit fraud, always a good tip not to plan it out loud on a public forum, don't we think?
  10. Hi Luke, welcome!
  11. Does anyone remember those ludicrously biassed 'cost of two wire vs conventional systems' comparisons in trade mags where they used to quote 'EOL units' at £150 each for the conventional price?
  12. old makita 24v here too, new batts a few years ago but genuine mains performance. Friday it drilled about a 3/4 metre through an ancient cottage wall!
  13. Bear in mind early versions wont support the 2 way fob, and the ion 16 'uniquely' cannot be upgraded in the field. Op, do you have a black car alarm looking fob or a lozenge shaped grey one? The grey one works with all versions.
  14. No, wheres ya wheely bin?
  15. Same with my VoIP, thousands upon thousands of attempts 24/7, all stopped by the usual tools, thankfully.
  16. Wheres ya bin?
  17. Hi there, and welcome. Have a good look around, but try not to ressurect too many 2 year old threads
  18. Yes, look at the recent-ish DiskStation episode - this was an exploit enabled simply by PF and nothing to do with weak passwords, and this wasn't exactly a poorly conceived back-street Chinese device.
  19. It's widely available, but either far too brittle (phenolic) or far too soft / difficult to mould to small details (the sort they make car fuel tanks from) for this sort of thing, that's the problem as I understand it.
  20. Any other material that is fire resistant - there are lots of suitable plastics, but much harder to mould and cost ++. So far easier for CU manufacturers to slightly modify (if at all) an existing metal design, and no actual need to test if metal burns.
  21. Yep, but I'm talking about like-for-like replacements to existing installations. And metal CU's are only one of 3 possible solutions (though I accept 'total enclosure' is probably not very likely, though it was used in boiler cabinets for years)
  22. Would never and have never done it. But I would say a good example where it was allowed under old regs, many 70's houses around here have it to outbuildings, and as far as I understand, if done with storm loops and earthed catenery, a householder could legitimately replace, like for like, without having to notify and without breaking any rules. But, my point is, there is NO regulation forcing such a building to be upgraded. http://www.electricalsafetyfirst.org.uk/mediafile/100423440/Best-Practice-Guide-1-Issue-3-.pdf(point 1.3)
  23. l should have clarified, providing the original installation met the standard at the time. And yes, we have zones now, although that still feels like a 'new thing' to me, showing my age... Of course, if some idiot fixes a 2G socket on the wooden side panel of a bath (which I've seen, OMG...) that's not a free pass to carry on. A good example would be the continued use of fusewire CUs or the like for like replacement of T+E on a catenery, I guess.
  24. President was established years ago when an NICEIC member was fined for putting sockets in a full height off-bathroom airing cupboard IIRC? But appealed and totally exonerated. I.e walk in cupboard is NOT a Bathroom, even if it leads off a bathroom. It's a 'room'. Afraid I don't have a link though. However, I now realise I misread your OP anyway. A toilet and basin does not a bathroom make. And, don't forget, like for like replacement, especially an end device, is NOT covered under Part P.
  25. It seems to suggest the reader unit works in weigand but auto detects an ax host and changes to some sort of special protocol. So if the host is the same isnt clear, but, as you say if they deal in hid the controller must do wiegand too.
