    Alarm ... 100m away

    Hi, split the eight core (once you have tested each core and core to core to ensure the insulation is good) four colours for pos and four for negative then buy an 24VAC psu (just a transformer) and a 12 to 24vac sounder the ones we use draw 60 to 80 mili amps (fire panel kit also usually will...

    Shielded cable use...

    My two cents, jabzuki stated three core screened more than likely the third cable would be connected to earth KME is right on the theory side, just the wrong conductor, as we heard late that the screen was only grounded at one end, as it should be. I served my time repairing top end audiophile...

    Advice on what CCTV to get

    What do you mean by HD?, No real way to record anything above D1 without recording the IP stream, all pretty expensive. I have >D1 cameras and even a thermal imager out back but as I own a CCTV company the cost really isnt an issue, for most peoples homes D1 is more than sufficient...

    Advice on what CCTV to get

    Hi, decent DVR, look on fvs-cctv.com, i like the H264 but all are reliable. buy without drives as they tend to come with the hug a tree and kiss a bunny green drives, that are, quite frankly useless. Install some WD caviar black drives yourself and your good to go. Dynamic cctv for low light...

    Picture in Picture Solution?

    Hi, does your customer want to view the two cameras in PIP config on say an aux input of the digital tv? or view the two camera in PIP config on the digital tv within a preview window? either can be done assuming that the tv can accept a composite signal (which most can) it just gets a bit...
