    Smoke/Heat/Co2 Alarm Recommendations

    Ok I misread it and thought they recommended replacing every 5 years. A very good warranty in that case. On that basis then whilst the Co2 alarms are expensive they may be an easier option. Not an option if they need replacing every 5 years. Am i correct in thinking the test switch can be...

    Smoke/Heat/Co2 Alarm Recommendations

    Thanks for the advice. I have seen a lot of AICO units used at work and always heard good things so maybe that is the right way to go and at that price maybe separate Co2 Monitors. Why are they restricted to 5 years? I always thought the benefit to hard wired systems was that they lasted "for...

    Smoke/Heat/Co2 Alarm Recommendations

    Can you recommend the best hard wired, linked smoke/heat/Co2 alarm system. A colleague recommended the nest alarms but they seem to only do smoke/Co2 and i thought that heat units were better for use in kitchens to prevent false alarms. I plan to install the following (is that the correct set...

    Data Cabinet Help

    Ok so the switch is not just a splitter for a feed from the router it allows everything to talk to each other. That makes more sense. The cctv cameras will request ids that the dvr will recognise and assign to the cctv software. The data points will just request IDs and allow devices to link...

    Data Cabinet Help

    So I have done more reading to try and get this through my head. Does everything connected to a switch get assigned an ID so I can then allocate to separate devices? Otherwise how will the cctv panel know not to try and talk to the data points? Sorry I am not very it savy but I do know how to...

    Data Cabinet Help

    If i get 1 switch then surely everything is then connected together? Do i not need the cameras to connect back to the CCTV control unit and then the data points back to the broadband router?

    Data Cabinet Help

    Is there such a thing as a switch that would link and power all my cameras and the data points in one. My basic understanding was that a switch acted like a splitter box where you had 1 feed in that then powers multiple points from it.

    Data Cabinet Help

    I was planning on having the hard drive located in the loft so it is not right there to be removed if i was ever robbed? The CCTV is POE so does that mean i need a switch for the CCTV and a 2nd one for the data network? Can you recommend decent kit options for me to go for. Is one brand better...

    Data Cabinet Help

    I have been running data cables throughout the house as i have been refurbishing/building it. The plans was to have a data cabinet wall mounted within the garage where everything will be routed through. I have a very basic understanding of data cabinets and how the various bits work but cant...

    Hi do you normally have a dedicated supply for a domestic boiler or just pull off as part of say a garage circuit?

    What size conduit

    I looked at the combined cables but surely they are useless at the other end as the data element needs to go to 1 place and the power another? Are they only good if you have both power and data at both ends?
