    I'm looking for a list of tools i will need to start doing my own home security/cctv installs.I'm an electrician so i have a bunch already.What i'm looking for are specifics like this particular kit http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_03460042000P?vName=Tools&cName=Electrical+Shop&sName=Electrical+Tools+%26+Accessories I've already done my own Ademco Vista 20P home security install and i've been bitin by the bug to do more and expand my knowledge.Any help will be greatly appreciated.

     

    How hard was it to put in that Ademco 20p? I bought one with all the parts a year or so ago and it seemed complicated. Its been sitting on the floor all still in the box in my study.

     

    Before starting your install. Read the instructions. Sit down and spend a week reading. Not sure about Ademco Vista 20P? But I think programming will be easier if you go buy the $100 key pad. [alpha keypad]

    Stronger magnet is magnetic Pick Up Tool used by auto mechanics.

    Another use for coat hangers is cut them into 3" sections. Use as drill bits. I drill down next to wall, then remove drill from coat hanger bit. Leave bit in floor. Go down in basement to see where you at.

     

    Also don't forget the small trained monkeys to pull wire over suspended ceilings and other hard to get to places.

    Just curious? Why does someone write ##### over links to places to buy CCTV stuff from? I am not selling anything. I am still more confused as ever as to what equipment to buy

     

    all links to online stores are removed as per the forum rules:

    http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=3147

    Sorry about that Rory. Did not read the rules.

     

    Update on my search for cameras. Email Suky, and place that advertize with banner on top of this forum. Also called place that mail me catalog. Recommendations were all over the place. High and low prices and all different recommendations for lens.

     

    Just to refresh your memories here is satellite view of Two car garage that faces alley. Alley is narrow one lane road.

    108020_1.jpg

    To cut down on cost I have decided to use fewer cameras. What do you all think about one camera to view license plates? Here in New York cars have front and back plates.

     

    Green triangle, entry door.

    6 ft. (D), 5 ft. (W), Focal Length Required 5.76 mm

     

    Red triangle. Hope to get license plates with this camera. Camera will be mounted about 8 foot high.

    22 ft. (D), 8 ft. (W), Focal Length Required 13.2 mm, Higher mm number might be better? This is the important camera. Without license plate numbers, cops will never find bad guys.

     

    Yellow triangle. Want to see who is dumping mountains of trash in vacant yards across the alley.

    40 ft. (D), 64 ft. (W), Focal Length Required 3 mm

     

    Looking at camera manufacturer web sites. These web sites look way more professional then online stores web sites. Better web site might mean better quality equipment? Here is chart of cameras that I see in Tri-Ed catalog.

     

    108020_1.gif

    Sorry about large image size. Go here to see chart on new page in browser.

    http://voltev.com/cctvforum/camera_chart01.gif

    Any one have any suggestions as to what cameras to buy? Cameras not on chart are fine. Any one want to sell me equipment? Got $$$$.

    LOL. Sorry no 80mm computer fan will do anything for you in that regard.

    I have to ask was this thread a joke?? I dont see how you could even think that would do anything, I mean at least say a 120mm, and even that would be useless. You would almost get as much air by just not having a fan.

    Correct I agree.

     

     

    Tip. Push the air out, that will be better. If you can, push some in as well, but the most important thing is to push the hot air out. At least in hot climates like here, and with PC cooling.

    Correct but but I would say pull the air out. That's why we call it exhaust fan.

     

     

    Already mentioned are fans dedicated for this from local hardware stores. They are MUCH larger than an 80mm computer fan, but they are also inexpensive. I wouldn't put anything on the actual roof though, expect water leaks. Put it on the sides or under the attic eave if anything.

    Exhaust fans installed properly on a roof don't leak. Best to suck cold air in at bottom and blow hot air out at top.

     

    I have been told that I am "Full of hot air"

  12. Posted

    im thinking of putting 2 sets of twin 12v 80mm computer fans in the top of my roof to help get rid of all the hot air that builds up over summer and suck in cooler air.

    i will stick one pair down one end of the house and the other at the other. i will have them sitting in low profile chimney type roof vent that has one of those cones over the top to stop water getting in.

    what you think of this idea? would it work?

     

    wozzzzza,

    Soffit and ridge vents as per the code where you at. Ask the building inspector. Questions are free. That's why you pay taxes.

     

    Look at this - Solar-Powered Exhaust Vent

    Go here to learn about ventilation

    To calculate the CFM required to adequately ventilate an area, divide the room volume by the appropriate “Minutes per Changeâ€

    Do you guys pay for advertising space on the site? All you do is recommend stuff from your site.

     

     

    Looks like another SPAMMER that made it an easy decision for me deciding on whom never to buy from. Thanks suky.

    Thanks for the reply to my question Suky. Put this project on hold but STILL do need to buy equipment.

     

    Look at ##### See lot of cameras, but do not see any brand names

     

    Look at ##### paper catalog from local place, see lots of brand names.

     

    Look at government cameras looking at me. See Pelco http://www.pelco.com/

     

    Suspect ##### is selling equipment from China? The eBay stuff I looked at seems to all come from China or some where far away. I in USA, Buffalo, New York. Why does China stuff have no brand name? Is the brand name equipment the same as the no brand stuff form China. I got no knowledge on cameras and recording equipment. But DO want to see the license plates of people who do evil deeds.

     

    What to buy? and where to buy from?

    OK Suky - See some manuals here - #####

    Not sure if I see manuals for all the products you sell?

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________

     

    Please go back to first post in this topic and recommend 4 cameras that will do what I want. Note different Focal Lengths Required. Also please note that my knowledge on CCTV is very limited, so if what I ask for will not do what I want please let me know.

     

    If you list SKU #s I will have easier time finding stuff on your web site.

     

    Any ?s please let me know

    Hello, Marty, I am going to make clear some puzzled issues.

     

    It does have its brand name called Zmodo; and it is a professional distributor of cctv solutions.

     

     

    Anyway, if you need help, please let me know.

     

    Suky,

    Zmodo Great now we have a brand name. Should make some mention of that on your web site.

     

    http://zmodo.net/contacts.html

    Your Zmodo web site needs some work. Home page is broke http://zmodo.net/index.html

     

    Can I view manuals for the products you sell?

    thunderbiz,

    Why don't you send a camera as a gift to one of the professional camera installers on this forum for testing?

     

    Also make a web site in English showing what you trying to sell.

    ____________________________________________________________

     

    Please stop picking on this guy because he is from China. The way I see it, is the Chinese people are doing pretty good at making almost EVERYTHING we buying. And yes.... better quality stuff would be nice

    Good to see this forum up and running again

     

    Someone drove a car or truck into garage door and stole my stuff. Setting up alarm system. About to try out Telular Telguard TG-9. Learning about CCTV cameras. See picture from Google maps, satellite view. Two car garage faces alley. Alley is narrow one lane road. See green, blue, red, and yellow triangles. This is what I think camera field of view will be?

    108020_1.jpg

    Draw triangles with Adobe Illustrator. Measure triangles with CAD program. CAD is Computer Aided Design. Look at:

    How to install security cameras

    CCTV Lens Calculator

    Here is what I come up with:

     

    Anticipated Target Distance (D), Target Area Width (W)

     

    Green triangle, entry door.

    6 ft. (D), 5 ft. (W), Focal Length Required 5.76 mm

     

    Blue and Red triangle. Both directions of one lane alley. Hope to get license plates with these cameras

    22 ft. (D), 8 ft. (W), Focal Length Required 13.2 mm, Higher mm number might be better?

     

    Yellow triangle. Want to see who is dumping mountains of trash in vacant yards across the alley.

    40 ft. (D), 64 ft. (W), Focal Length Required 3 mm

     

    Want outdoor cameras, good quality, low cost, small size, should work day and night. No connection to internet. Wired not wireless.

     

    Looking at Tri-ed catalog See:

    American Dynamics

    Advanced Technology Video

    Bosch Security Systems

    Clinton Electronics

    Computar Ganz

    Digimerge Technology

    EverFocus

    Extreme CCTV

    SANYO CCTV SYSTEM

    Speco Technologies

    VITEK Industrial Video

    and...... eBay Home > Buy > Electronics > Gadgets > Surveillance > Surveillance Cameras > Wired Cameras> 12,159 Search results

     

    Any suggestions as to what features I should be looking for in cameras? Next question will be DVR?

    I've been robed. Some one drove a car or truck into garage door and stole my stuff. Been learning about CCTV cameras and think PTZ Pan Tilt Zoom might be the best for what I want to do? Like the idea of the thief thinking that camera is looking in all directions.

     

    Garage faces a alley. Want camera to watch alley in both directions and some vacant houses across the street. Will mount camera to a aluminum or steel square pole high up where hopefully no one will try to steal it.

     

    What should I look for in a PTZ camera?

     

    Also will have security system. Bought Teluar Telguard TG-9
