You are correct which is the advantage of IP cams. I never bother about H265+. Can cause more hassle than it’s worth. H265 is all I use for my clients.

Didn’t know that. Thanks

Picked up a new Stihl TS420 14” Cut off saw but didn’t get a disc as I wanted to do some research first. Has anyone got any recommendations for a concrete disc? Seen a few Bosch discs but know very little about their quality.

I have installed quite a few Hikvision DS-2CD4A25FWD-IZS & Hikvision DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZS for that exact job this past 18-Months. If it was just for daytime then cheaper cameras would have done but these type of cameras are essential. I must look to see if there are any other recent cameras that...

Remote playback works a treat from the beach.

They hold quite a bit. If you are robbed, you won’t be waiting a week before checking the footage put it like that.

Exactly. The OP wants a cctv setup and it would be stupid for me to recommend coax setup. IP cams are cheap and you don’t need an NVR. You can use an SDCard in each of the cams instead.

Utter nonsense. You can’t say both are the same. The advantages of IP cams let alone quality are in a different league. The only time one should be installing coax cams is when the existing system is coax. If you want to stay in the past then do so. When you are installing that DVR, make sure...

Hikvision and Dahua are the cams you need. Ubiquiti are not in the same league. Make sure the setup is IP based. If someone try’s to sell you a coax setup, then they need a kick in the backside. I’ve used a lot of Hikvision and I am going to try out some installs with Dahua which are a lightly...

Thanks for that. Would you be better sticking to the cheaper models then if it was you?

Looking to replace a few cheap led floodlights which have started to fail. Thought it was great at the time buying them cheap so if they fail, it doesn’t cost much to replace. Cost soon adds up and some of them need a telehandler etc to get access to. Anyhow, a company called luxum led this...

Thanks for the replies. I have seen people mention buying a second hand top branded laser that has been reconditioned or calibrated. I will have a look in that area but also check out the brands mention above. I had the impression that green was replacing the red laser so any new models being...

Looking for recommendations for a rotary laser for work outside mostly. Not sure whether to pay extra for a green laser over a red one. Require it for putting up steel work for sheds and for laying out drain levels. I see there a lot of sub £300 lasers on eBay and amazon but I would rather...

Thanks for that. I suppose there is no harm in having reel of it.

I am installing a ptz camera for a guy and lucky enough, he has a socket a few feet away. I haven't checked yet but going by the use of 25mm conduit, I recon 4/6mm. I want to run a cable from this socket a few feet to an enclosure. I have only got 2.5mm & 16mm t&e. Can I use the 2.5mm if I...

Thanks for that. Think I found the one at RS which fits the job.

Neighbour nearby has a bore well and it cutout during the night. Lack of air pressure in the pressure tank caused the pump to switch on and off too quickly and the 16a switch below isn't working. I tried a few local places for a replacement but can't source one and the nearest well pump...

I know some people use a Lightning Arrestor on runs especially for Poe equipment such as cameras but I've never seen anything that is Gigabit compatible and for use with cat6 between switches. @Aragorn84 If that is the case, why do they still state it being a problem?

There is a lot of talk these days when linking two buildings together underground using Cat5e/6 due to earthing differential between the two buildings from what I read and why Fiber is recommended. Does this earthing differential is a factor if the two buildings had separate electric supplies...

By 6mm I mean it's like a core of 6mm T&E
