I can't quote but don't all cables have to be mechanically protected under 2m regardless of the device? If I'm wrong then it's a good future rule to go by...

What's the potential causes of high res on a Galaxy 48? The DT is a Honeywell (cant get the exact model).

Least your honest...

LOL

He is trying... Do samsung have an middle east technical support number you can perhaps get them to team view in and have a look?

Where are you from? Certain countries block some sites for all sorts of reasons, or phone providers putting blocks on things? The Samsung DDNS would only be hitting the DDNS servers and displaying the info on his screen? I know the middle east has big restrictions??

Change your port forwarding and DMZ to the ip address 192.168.1.200.....

You've port forwarded to your own computer by the looks of it?? Port forward and the DMZ is set up for the IP 192.168.1.7....... and looking at the /ipconfig it seems 192.168.1.7 is your own PC? You should be port forwarding to the CAMERA address which is 192.168.1.8 by the looks on your settings! Change the 7 to a 8 and it should work. But like above, also change to static...

Change your HTTP port to 85 and make sure you open port 85 on your router.

Seems ports aren't configured right, you seem to be hitting the router page instead of going through to the camera. I've had something similar where the router defaults on port 80, so had to change the dvr to 85 else there's a conflict!

For me that kind of changes the scenario in the fact he may never have employed anyone before so is probably being cautious, I can only think it is a workload issue for him and not the fact it's your capabilities he doesn't trust? As warren buffet says "never test the depth of a river with two feet" LOL

Seems they lack confidence in you before you've even started, for me the interview stage/recruitment is exactly that, to recruit the right person and be confident of there capabilities from the off, I understand a trial period incase the employee has some how fluked the process but at least provide the facilities to see what they can do and that includes vehicles in my opinion. I know it can happen and will happen that someone turns out to be a pile of sh*t but you should be given the full perks from the start considering you've been offered the job.

Doesn't that just disable the buttons and not the tones? Pretty sure the volume controls are still active...

Do you have the correct user code?

You need 5/10? posts before anyone can PM you with contact details... I think that's right anyway...

If you can wire, then wire, if you can't wireless is a good secondary option... Dependant on the factors above. If it's a toss up, then wiring is always the best bet. I hardly fit wireless or do domestic installs really but by all accounts the 2 way wireless is secure and yes it is safe. False alarms are dependant on what datadiffusion said, you'll never be certain no matter how good the install is.

I don't know enough about the panel to comment on the "sluggishness" but the issue last night sounds as if the PIR (Z04) is constantly open, can you perform some kind of walk test in the menu's and confirm the PIR is going open from closed? If it is constantly showing open, then you could potentially have a faulty PIR or resistor issue, try changing the resistor's if that's the case. Or meter out the C/NC alarm contacts to make sure the relay is switching.

I'm presuming your talking about me questioning using a "TP convertor" in your first post. In the light of it, you obviously meant twisted pair convertor? A "TP convertor" to me is a completely different device..

Funnily enough that's what I did do, got it finished today... The genie GH016? can't think of the product code from the top of my head.

You could still notify customers without broadcasting to the public. Even if all my customers were 100% secure, I'd still feel uneasy about such topic discussed in a public security forum. The customers that don't get notified are still vulnerable and there'll be many out there that won't. However unlikely it is to happen, it's still possible someone can gain criminal value from this topic. And that's not right no matter how you look at it.

I'm merely making the point that the site now shows back doors to any CCTV system in the public arena, if that's what EVERYONE agrees with then fantastic but I don't agree with it and that's my opinion. And that's what a forum is all about... opinions... It's hardly off topic debating if "the topic" is sensitive or not. Do we start a thread "the below thread - sensitive or not" not sure? No but your system will be ran through the mud and how funny if they got the info to do it from your own site... And it's not just the £300 brigade as mentioned above... The "expensive" DVRs can carry the same issue.

On a serious, what if an unauthorised person access's one of your DVR's that you maintain from reading this? Your responsible and you wouldn't want it to happen, so at least limit the viewing numbers... It would just be like accessing an alarm with the engineer code... no? Pissing in the wind comes to mind right about now....

LOL riiiiiight.... Thanks for the clarification guys

That's it then, just leave it for the next 10,000 to read... My point is, this site in particular is full of security professional's who when it suits act all hush hush about engineering codes etc, yet leave this in public view.... Daft... But anyway enough of that... Seems an IT networking guru will need to be on hand to be truly safe?

This surely runs in line with the industry, faults, problems, and business ideas... And has massive reason to not be in public domain... If engineer codes are so readily available elsewhere like you said, why do we protect such info? Yet keep a topic like this on public, same vulnerabilities, same damage could be caused getting into the wrong hands. Do people see engineer codes as a cash cow if kept secret? And before anyone says, I know money isnt made directly from this site by engineer resets, but industry wise it is... Serious question...
