I have finished laying the main part of the patio and just have 8 600x600x50mm concrete slabs to cut into the edges. I need to hire a tool to cut the slabs, which would be the most suitable? Slab splitter. Hydraulic Ram. Power saw.

I have had a chance to set the system up now and on the whole I am very impressed with it. The picture is very clear but lacking some colour. Where the power adapter plugs into the back of the DVR it is a loose connection and pulls out easily disconnecting the DVR. I have set the...

Yes it is a 12VDC connection. The length of wire and seperate instruction page was packaged with the remote control. The main user manual that came with the system is easy to follow (in good English) but this seperate page is losing something in the translation. I will copy one of the...

:) Like you I have 1 3 pin mains plug and 4 BNC connections for the cameras and an adapter. The system is working fine but in with manual came a 1 meter length of wire, on each end is a metal ring ( I don't know the correct term). It is for prevention of static discharge. There is a tiny...

I have just bought a CCTV DVR and it came with a 1 meter length of wire with difficult to understand instructions. I can see where I need to attach it on the DVR but where should the other end be fixed to? I have my wooden floorboards exposed, should I fix it to them?

Is there a limit to how much you can plug into one socket? I ask because in the bedroom that I use as my computer room I only have 2 single sockets. One of those sockets is behind the bed, so in the other single socket I have 4 socket surge protected entension. Into the extension I have...

Thanks for clearing that up, those links were helpful. Did you attach the static discharge cable that came with the DVR? It is only about 1m long and my DVR is off the ground by 2m, I could extend it and and screw it to the floor boards or will it be any good if I screw it to the back of my...

Hi Rob, 1 of the bullet cameras is faulty so I posted it back this morning and should get a relacement. I have not had much chance to play around with it yet but did find the DVR fan a bit noisy for the lounge. That is another reason I have decided to put it in the office as my PC has a...

I went for this CCTV system in the end but exchanged 2 of the cameras for dome cameras. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160314182029&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123 I have a 1998 sony TV/video combination with a digi box, the cctv system works on here but I can only use...

Thanks again for your help Alastair, Did you mean to leave a link in your last post or do you mean I should sit the Flue vent into the existing square hole in the chimney?

:D Yes I can. I had a look up on the chimney this morning and it is not a round hole but a 180mm square hole.

So that I have a rough idea what the ventilated terminal should look like when I go to Jewsons can you tell me which one would be most suitable from the link below. The 6th picture down or one of the last 3 pictures...

Thank-you very much. There is a Jewsons not too far from me, I will go there.

Thanks for the reply. I had not heard of a ventilated terminal before. A google search brought this page up. http://www.buildingtalk.com/news/wav/wav200.html After reading that I understand I should not block the top of the chimney off but maintain ventilation to allow air flow and...

I live in a 1984 bungalow and an electric fire has been fitted and the fireplace blocked off. I occasionally hear birds get into my chimney so I would like to block it off at the top. I have a roof hook ladder, can I just cement a tile over the hole to stop birds and rain getting down the...

At the moment my porch has ugly concrete paving slabs on the floor. From the outside path there is 1 step up to get into the porch. The floor level in the porch finishes just below the Damp proof membrane. I know on the outside path levels should always be 2 or 3 bricks below the DPM but...

Thanks for the replies. I did mean can they be adjusted up and down and left to right by hand so thanks for clearing that up.

Rob, you said you had some of the Sony CCD dome cameras near the bottom of this page, do they pan and tilt? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=310121090449&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=021 If not I was thinking of getting these ones...

Do any of your cameras look through glass? I ask because I plan on putting one dome camera in the porch and one bullet camera in the Conservatory, both will look through old style double glazed aluminuim glass doors. I understand this will be OK in daylight hours but when the light falls you...

Thanks for the help Rob. He has said the Sony CCD cameras are better quality than the Sharp ones and I can get these for an extra £6 each. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=310121090449&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=021 I will get 2 x 10M and 2 x 20M video and power...
