    Ah ok makes sense. 400mm walls might not leave me with much space! :D

    Garage conversion questions

    As it was £3 for a pack I got nearly 60m2 of it for £33! Its 200mm deep so perhaps I can double it up?

    Garage conversion questions

    Managed to pick up a load of loft insulation from the B&Q deal (£3 for 5.4m2) last week. Is it possible to use this fibre glass in the stud walling of my garage or do I need wall specific stuff?

    4 camera CCTV system

    [/url] No mine are outside. They will definitely have that problem looking through glass at night, you will need to IR source outside at least but you are best off with the cameras outside.

    4 camera CCTV system

    I have those cameras and have been very pleased with them. Take the best prices you've seen similar kits go for and ask if he will accept the same. I think they vary due to exchange rates.

    4 camera CCTV system

    If your TV has a spare scart or composite video input you should be ok. You will need to buy a cable to connect to the BNC output on the back of the DVR as well. I have bought some of those interior dome cameras and the build quality isn't brilliant although the camera picture is good. The...

    4 camera CCTV system

    Obviously it depends on your application but a web server tends to be included in any decent spec DVR now. For me I find it handy that I can check from my laptop over wifi without being near the DVR unit. Perhaps not something worth paying big money for but a nice added extra if the DVR is...

    4 camera CCTV system

    My experience has been with this seller and they seemed very good value as they are the manufacturer: http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/savers-mall They are also flexible on price so try punting in an offer on a "best offer" listing. I've ordered a few things and their customer service was very...

    4 camera CCTV system

    Hi bluenun20, I think you were talking about my post! The SD DVR I had wasn't very good mainly due to poor picture quality and somewhat selective motion detection. It would fill the card by recording grass waving in the wind but didn't capture people walking up my drive. I also started with a...

    Here is a Google Sketchup of what I'm trying to achieve: Would I need to be concerned with condensation in the store room area at the back?

    Garage conversion questions

    I've done some more research (since my original post in October!) into insulation and thinking of laying a floor over 75mm kingspan board (75 is about the most I can do with the current ceiling), then insulating the walls with 100mm of the same, plasterboarding etc. Would it be reasonable to...

    Garage conversion questions

    My house is on the market but I don’t see it selling any time soon. As I need some more space I am contemplating converting my detached garage to an office at minimal cost and as temporary as possible in case a buyer wants to convert it back. I also want to partition off the rear of the garage...

    cctv camera

    I've bought some cameras like item number 150142076635 and have been very impressed, I've also bought a couple of DVRs from the same person. If you are buying a few things try to negotiate on price but bear in mind if you buy from China returns can be expensive on anything faulty. My experience...

    cctv camera

    I've bought quite a few pieces of kit from an ebay seller. Came directly from the manufacturer in China but very impressed with the value for the money and customer service from the seller is excellent. I just wanted a basic setup so started off with an SD card DVR but it was rubbish so moved...

    Replacing external BT/openreach cable to NTE5

    Thanks Bigzed! Sounds like I'm lucky as the BT66 has terminals (beneath a layer of dead spiders) which makes things simple. Would something like this CW1308 do the job...

    Replacing external BT/openreach cable to NTE5

    Hi all My external BT wiring is a bit old and tatty, many of the clips holding it to the wall have broken and I just don't trust it isn't causing problems with my ADSL so I'd like to change it. I also had an external door changed last year and the fitters left a length of the phone cable...

    Spur from RCD in consumer unit

    Yep, sounds like its an RCBO! I wasn't sure if sticking the spur straight into it was correct as I've not seen one before. All the others are MCBs with the common neutral bar. Cheers
