Paul Uszak also said that he was suspicious that these devices can adequately seal a 7mm diameter cable. That's right at the bottom of the acceptable range. I've had the same issue with those compression glands that you use to go through a boxes' sidewall. They never seem to close down an any...

Tupperware and ice cream cones? And I thought I was being funny with my cling film joke. Perhaps I wasn't after all ;) ?

Yes I've seen those used. Are you suggesting that I can get a smaller version for a garden? The ones in the roadside are ~500mm long and probably cost quite a bit... Do you happen to have a source?

The cable is factory fitted to the impeller motor. I can't remove it. The only way to replace the cable is to replace the pump :(

Do you have confidence in these? I'm worried that even though it's rated IP68 and 5 bar, the cable size is at the small end - min 0.75mm 3 core. It won't be under water, but will the connector work safely on the very smallest cable size?

I'm in the happy position of having to connect together two halves of a pond pump's electricity cable. It got cut. Some details:- Otter 3000 pump. The cable is the standard factory fitted 3 core 0.75mm² rubber cable. The cable measures approximately 7mm in diameter. It's not armoured. The...

My sister has just renewed her home insurance. I've spent ages over the years installing, greasing and upgrading her burglar alarm. Wires, batteries, strobes, more PIRs and more reed switches. And more wires. Her having a burglar alarm made absolutely no difference to the lowest three quotes...

As the sticky is locked, does anyone want a Tunsall Security TS500 system manual? Probably not as it's a bit old, but it's going in the bin unless someone wants a copy. Dated October '91.

To clarify, you're saying that it's very obvious to anyone approaching the front door (day or night) that there is a camera on them?

And now?

Wooh! Beware the Ides of March! I think that it's fine as is here. I've been called all sorts of things, and I've probably made stupid comments myself. That's all good. Moderation is a light touch on DIYnot and that's as it should be. It allows all sorts of people with varying personalities...

Hmm, whist posting the above I've looked though SWANN's range of CCTV cameras. All of them have IR illuminators. They don't seem to have any low light passive cameras. Yet this chap's camera doesn't glow. And it doesn't have one of those stupid flashing dummy LEDs either. This camera was one...

No I'm not joking. They had a van with the name of their security company on it. Professional: Engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as an amateur. That's all I meant. SWAN: http://www.swann.com/uk/ I remember it because it was the same kit that was on...

Then I'm confused. I apologise for the technobabble comment if you're into C. Surely then you must appreciate what role exception handlers play. I've got it. Was your initial post a joke that I stupidly took seriously? I have no sense of irony :confused:

Hmm, unfortunately this is 3rd party software and DIYNOT has no control over it. Reverse engineering all that CSS crap would probably be a nightmare.

No you're right bas, it's actually called exception handling but I didn't want to confuse you with computery technobabble. In LAMP, I think that you've got the A wrong and the M right. It presents as Nginx with PHP and XenForo only runs on MySQL. So that would be LNMP. I hate PHP - it's crap.

That is some really serious upselling! The video is of armed jewellery and post office heists. What does one of these cost? And what's the recharge cost when the cat's set it off?

Some one posted a worrying and plausible issue with burglary. I imagine that this is a common technique as there's nothing worse that breaking into a seemingly unoccupied house to find four marines sleeping off that night's champagne party :eek: + :mad::mad::mad::mad: = :cry: I've thought of...

Would it help if this was a sticky, maintained by the community? "Recommend" and "recommendation" searching results in 44 entire threads on this forum. There must be others like "what's a good wireless alarm?" that I haven't counted. The same stuff is repeated over and over. The same...

That's a good question. It relates to normal software development and the way procedures are coded. For example if the database is really busy as everyone is posting their latest dribble, it might run out of connections and you get blocked. That is (ideally should be) an unlikely situation...
