hwads Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Hi Im currently renovating our house so all floors and ceilings are gone, I have run 6 core wire to where I'm having pir's, keypad, bellbox etc and back to a central location. I have also run cctv RG59 cable (3 cameras). now my question is, Is there a box that will control alarm and cctv or will it have to be 2 separate boxes?. I also want phone alerts when either detect something. Many thanks Quote
al-yeti Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Better to go seperate Some intruder alarms can send snapshots Better to have 8core imo Run a cat5 to every CCTV point next to the rg59 it will prove useful later and it's cheap enough to do And where ever you might want a camera later run an cat5 there to , you might only want three cameras now but 10 in the future might be nice Quote
datadiffusion Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Scantronic (Eaton) and Vanderbilt SPC have a system where images from IP CCTV is uploaded via an app in the event of an intrusion. However, unless you want to be being contacted every 5 seconds, and all night, (assuming the cameras are external), you might have to rethink what you want. Also you would be far better with Cat5e/6 cables for new camera work. Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands
hwads Posted July 30, 2017 Author Posted July 30, 2017 Thanks for that, are new cameras run from cat5/6 now or is this in the not too distant future? Quote

PeterJames Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 We havent used rg59 for around 10 years, even if you have analogue cameras cat 5 and baluns is better you can run upto 4 cams on 1 cat5 Quote
hwads Posted July 31, 2017 Author Posted July 31, 2017 Thanks, time to change the coax. Anyone know a good supplier for Vanderbilt SPC? Quote
