HI all, and apologies for pestering this forum yet again. A quickie, after having my analog cameras outside for quite some years I found that I had weathered plug/socket problems so decided to cut off old plugs and fit new ones. On some old cctv cable I had it simply had a red/black for power...

Hi all I have my cctv box next to, and connected to my tv. The cctv box connects to my router via ethernet, allowing me to access the cctv box remotely from several devices connected to my router. I am decorating and would like to replace the ethernet connection with a wifi connection as the...

Hi all I purchased a cheapo 4 channel, 2 camera cctv set up some years ago just to ‘test the concept’. It was more for wildlife watching than security. To be honest the camera quality and recording have been perfect for it’s intended usage. It was manufactured by Xenta. On setting up...

Hi again all. A little advice please? I fitted a Screwfix sourced LED security light with PIR motion sensor. It is fitted in a hallway next to the electric cupboard with 3m of direct cable. I used a spare circuit breaker. On testing, as soon as the circuit breaker is switched on (and the...

Hi all, maybe someone can help here? I purchased the above system from Ebuyer for two reasons. One it was cheap (:)), and two I wanted to have a play with something I had never had before. Didn't really get it for security, more to monitor wildlife in my garden. Unfortunately I have no...

Hi all, perhaps you can educate me as to how my heating system is actually performing compared to my perception? Apologies for the long winded following but I think it is important to include all info. The boiler is a Vaillant ecoTEC+ 831 with Honeywell wireless programmer (CM927). I have...

Hi I have a small plumbing job to do but have an issue identifying the existing 15mm plastic pipe/fittings. I need to insert a tee into a 15mm existing cold water supply pipe (plastic) but do not know the 'manufacturer' of the pipe. I am aware that the push fit fittings are universal but the...

After one year of fitting, my hall carpet showed distinct lateral lines, both on and off the main wear areas. After reporting to the retailer (who may be named later...) they sent one of their people to investigate. He said there appeared to be a problem and took some photos. They then responded...

Hi again all, a little teaser you may be able to help me with? First of all, this does not cause me a great deal of pain, more a sense of bewilderment !! I had a new boiler (as above) fitted in September, linked to an existing Honeywell CM721 Wireless Programmable Room Thermostat and relay...

I have a groaning boiler !! After running DHW for a while, on closing the DHW tap, the boiler seems to have a big groan as it turns off. It doesn’t do it on CH turning off, so I have ruled out the pump or fan, but can only think that the other ‘moving parts’ are the gas valve and the...

Hi again and apologies for posting new thread just after closing the last one, but need a little more advice. You may recall I fitted a Honeywell 927 Wireless Programmer to this system and after various teathing probs all settled down nicely. Previously I controlled room temps via the...

Hi I have had several great replies to my questions re this boiler and its past issues, but I have probably the simplest general question to ask now. This system was not installed with a roomstat, (pump always running) and for years I have adjusted house temp via boilers stat.ie quarter on...

HI again all. I have had some great support from this site in the past so here's hoping all the good guys are still around (Tony Agile etc !!) MY thermo shower (Grohe) has recently been delivering varying temperature HW, going from hot to cold and back within seconds. At first suspected...

Hi all Sorry to repost but better info this time. Above boiler initially seemed to be cycling ( 20 secs on/150 secs off) on CH quarter thermo setting. Boiler would fire, temp lights go to 60 degrees, boiler stops, temp lights go back down to 40 degrees within seconds. Bloke at Biasi...
