ds-2cd2355fwd-i. Like I say I can view it on the NVR when am using a short patch cable. But not when it's connected to the long cable I ran yesterday

So I fairly certain I have fixed the damaged cable. I happen to spot somewhere where there were signs of it being folded over. I trimmed it back and hey presto the cable passes continuity test now. I happen to have a gigabit ethernet switch next to the nvr so its connected to the internet. I...

Hi I did a tdr test it said the break was 0.1m in. I chopped off a little more than 10cm. Now the tdr test tells me pairs 3 and 6 are 21 meters long which is the same as the others. I did a continuity test but all passed except for number 6. Am confused which test is telling the truth and how...

@secureiam thanks for all the help you have given me and your patience. If it wasn't for you I'll still be scratching my head.

Sorry I didn't know i can use the smartcom with wintex. I used the online keypad within wintex, it still didn't activate. According to wintex the strobe output has been activated. I am sad now.

I will buy the offical usb cable. I can download the software onto my laptop. You mean I should test it from wintex? How do I do this?

I am using the test strobe option in the enginneer utils option using the wireless keypad. I enabled the test strobe option 2 mins ago and i still can't see the strobe. Its night time so it shud be ovious. But the keypad clearly responds Yeah google suggested I check the output but it is a...

Hi I think I have everyting working except for the strobe. On my texecom system am using the odyssey x-w bell box. I noticed normally the strobe alternates between the led on left and the led on the right. Hoever when I try testing the strobe light using the test options in engineer mode...

Hi I have setup the smartcom and registered the premier elite 64w in the app. Problem is every time I click on the red full arm button, app says it's fully armed the area but on the keypad it says it's part armed. I have door contacts on the front door as a entry and exit. The app only shows...

Hi I have my smartcom directly connected to the ont so it shouldn't have a firewall/isp parental settings blocking communication. I have tried unplugging both plugs to reboot it. Yet the cloud led is still flashing. When I try enabling the app it's says "incorrect config call terminated"...

Hi I have a wireless door contact on the front door. It's setup as a entry and exit zone. I like this as it gives my parents plenty of time to get their things then close the door. Thing is I noticed was I have to open the door to set the alarm at night. Is there a way around this?

Hi I have setup the evening arm to omit the zone cover the upstairs landing. Trouble is I think the default way of part arming the system maybe too complicated for them. Is there a way I can setup a dedicated user that is just for part arming the system at night? I.e. 1234 master for full...

I installed a new shower tray in my bathroom. I think the waste on the tray is leaking. There is a fair amount of play in the waste. Is it a proper tool I can use to tighten the waste up?

So I renovated my bathroom by putting a new shower tray. I don't think I I have tightened the waste properly since there is quite a lot of play. Occasionally it leaks a very small amount of water.
