Guest tanknet Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 Wonder if you chaps can help - Got to snip connectors off the end of all the cables. Electricians will not solder cable on supply but will screw into a block. What I'm after is a little block that I can screw on the camera's 2 core power cable so the guys can just then snip the ends off the supply and screw into block. Thinking of getting the cheap n cheerfull plastic blocks and cutting down to size or is there something a little more professional Paul
ian.cant Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 I always use the little blue or red in line crimp connectors you can buy at city's or newy's (or even B&Q now). I would be amazed if a sparky didnt have the crimp tool to make them off with.
Guest tanknet Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 They wouldn't even do that so I have got the little plastic blocks with the terminal screws.
secure4 Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 I buy 1 meter dc extensions from CPC, cut off the plugs and then connect these to blocks. All i then have to do is connect the power cable to the block and plug it into the cameras dc socket. This way, if the camera is faulty down the line I can return it under the manufacturers warranty. Once you've cut off the dc socket your buggered! And it saves a lot of time onsite soldering! Regards. Mark secure4.me.uk digital cctv
camerabloke Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 there are some good blocks on the market that i trialed for my last firm. strip cables back and just insert the bare end into the block and hey presto. they have been around ages but i cannot remember the name. sold in (wait for it) City Electrical Eucam Security Systems 0845 4630 746 www.eucam.co.uk
tinnitus Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 BT supply there engineers with little plastic connectors you just squeeze together and they grip and hold. they are filled with a little silicon gel so they prevent corrosion. I'm not sure what they are called.
norman Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Monteeey will be along shortly to tell you the correct term. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
norman Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 These are what I know as scotchloks....They are sheite, and will cause high res problems, the BT ones are much, much better, but for 12v you cannot beat solder and heat shrink. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
