    Thermal Store/Solar/Heating advice

    Agile, I'm not sure what your beef is. All you've done is whinge about free work and your still making incorrect statements. Yes I'm not coming to you for quotes (you live 160 miles away!), your not coming round on a freebie, I get that, I really get that. I can live with that, so you can relax...

    Thermal Store/Solar/Heating advice

    No, the reason I didn't find anyone is because none of the engineers I called had experience in what I was asking about. Its easier to be un-interested than admit lack of knowledge. I have since found a couple who do seem to know the subject and are willing to review and provide a quote. You...

    Thermal Store/Solar/Heating advice

    Craven arms is the other side of Shropshire, so I am actually closer to you by the look of it. They do list another installer in Hereford. Agile, I think you missed the point. I wasn't polling round suggesting I'm after a free ride. No-one is going to pay upfront for someone who hasn't even...

    Thermal Store/Solar/Heating advice

    Dare I ask, do you operate as far as Shropshire? And do you do the solar install aspects aswell? And experience with connecting to Rayburns......could be a job in it for you.

    Thermal Store/Solar/Heating advice

    There is some great information on the DPS website. For my scenario there also seem to be better fit options for smaller cupboards. They also indicate they can custom make rectangle units. It's slightly confusing as to which system might be best with all the options. But what is the main...

    Thermal Store/Solar/Heating advice

    Did you do the solar work aswell? What solution did you use? We have fairly low ceilings upstairs, so also wondered how do you go about sizing which Torrent RE to use. I know there is some science behind it, but assuming our current 200L boilermate seems sufficient, would the 170L Torrent be...

    Thermal Store/Solar/Heating advice

    I’m after some advice or experiences with setting up a new heating/DHW tank and also to supplement with solar evacuated tubes. We have no gas in the village. The current system runs from an oil Rayburn Nouvelle. This is partnered with a Gledhill Boilermate2 200L thermal store system. The...

    CCTV Questions

    Is this the kind of Samsung camera you are talking about: http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2_20&products_id=1891 Or trade variants I'm unlikely to see? So for a static dome without PTZ, does that mean it basically requires physical...

    CCTV Questions

    Boltos1, I haven't decided Apollo is the final choice, just thought it looked ok when I compared specs with a few others. There seems to be a few places selling it with widly varying prices. Barsteward, you have me wrong. I've not stated anywhere I don't like what I hear. I'm merely trying to...

    CCTV Questions

    Boltos1, For the Apollo, There seems to be very little difference in the low end HD and the higher end 4 channel devices. There are some such as multi hard drive/raid capability and better recording rates in the higher units. Given practical experience, whats the pros and cons of each unit.

    CCTV Questions

    Barsteward, Ok thanks, I'm in no doubt now from the responses whatever I read about Auto Tracking was not correct, or quite possibly I got the wrong end of the stick. I'd be very interested in DVR recommendations. The Apollo ones I've been looking at range from about £250 for the lower...

    CCTV Questions

    Well if you didn't remove them, someone did. Are you saying those comments weren't there?....ok just seen they were moderated and removed. Something to learn from I think. If IR and Sens-Up don’t work, what does work in the dark (if anything)? I’ve just ran a video at 6fps, and it’s not...

    CCTV Questions

    Well last time I looked this was a free advice forum. I'm not expecting you be "mr nice", clearly you are a long way from even being curtious, let alone nice. All I asked is that you explain your comments, instead of condesending remarks that are designed to do nothing but state "I know more...

    What a waste of time posting if your going to be so arrogant and unhelpful. Serious...really what is the point. Why not just explain your points, which would be far more helpful to me and others.

    CCTV Questions

    I don't have specific links, as I've been browsing round 100s of web links. But I thought the whole point of a PTZ camera and DVRs that can motion detect with PTZ, was that the camera followed the subject. I'm here for advice so if you are stating thats wrong, then I'm open to correction after...

    CCTV Questions

    Why ptz - well for no other reason than it seems many of the DVRs can track a subject and zoom in closer automatically. So I thought why not give the camera the ability. I like the look of the dome cameras better than bullet or larger types. Not so ugly and the subject is never quite sure...

    CCTV Questions

    I'm looking at installing a home CCTV solution, 3-4 cameras. I've been trawling the web and the bewildering choice of solutions. I'm sure you basically get what you pay for. I'm prepared to spend upto about £2k. I seem to have settled for an Apollo 4 channel DVR (not sure yet if to go for HD...

    cables and central heating

    No cold or DHW pipes in this part, its all central heating pipes, so can get quite hot. The downstairs lights have no dimmer switch, just normal static switches. The lights are all the wall candle types (2 bulbs per fitting).
