    Connection issues Hikvision and HiLook app

    Unsure. First time I’ve had dealings with such systems so forgive me I’m not particularly clued up. I’ve attached some shots of the settings here. Perhaps you could tell me if this is what you might expect?

    Connection issues Hikvision and HiLook app

    I’ve just tested the powerline adapter adjacent to the NVR - Initial Result: I noticed I’d plugged the NVR power source directly into the power line adapter. I swapped this with the camera power supply and gained an improvement. Performance when viewing through the app is generally improved...

    Connection issues Hikvision and HiLook app

    Looking for some assistance. I installed a cctv system a few months ago. Worked ok to start with but now it’s basically impossible to access live view via the HiLook app. Playback of recordings / activation events always freezes too. Setup is as follows: NVR connected to the internet via...

    Basic Home CCTV System

    Hi all, I'm looking to install a basic (2 or 3 camera) home CCTV system. Having done some research I gather a lot of the wireless systems aren't the best and can be very expensive for what they are. Therefore I'm looking to install one (possible two) camera on the from of my property on the...

    Adding extra double socket to garage

    You were absolutely right! Not glanded. I'll point out to the builder's how poor a job has been done installing it.

    Adding extra double socket to garage

    Yes, I would be using the same cable that was used to supply the existing socket - prysmian 6242y twin and earth 2.5mm2. Believe this is rated for 27A which should suit my needs.

    Adding extra double socket to garage

    Thanks for the advice. I was pretty sure it wouldn't be a problem but wanted to check with an expert. Like I said in my original post, I'll be using good stuff and running the cables in conduit in a safe routing. I'm not a cowboy, just not an electrician. Would never want to do something...

    Adding extra double socket to garage

    I think it is properly glanded / swaged when it enters the DB at the bottom. It's where the two twin/earths come out the top that I stated there is a grommet. Not the prettiest looking set up I know but they at least seem to have done it properly enough that the CB's actually isolate what they...

    Adding extra double socket to garage

    Yes, I do believe it does. See the pic I posted earlier on another reply.

    Adding extra double socket to garage

    G Yeah they didn't do the prettiest job of mounting it. Photo doesn't show it but there is a rubber grommet in the top of the DB where the cables come out. It is fed from the main board in the house which has RCD protection. I've attatched a photo of that.
