    How to use ALARM OUT and a K80 control power supply

    I believe the relay contacts are dry. so you will need to run power through the relay to power the siren.

    1/2 plate steel on walls of equipment room

    Nothing will be exposed. and if it is these guys will make sure that it will be protected. there main concern is someone taking the NVR's not so much cutting cables. this room will also house the Napco security system I will be installing. this job will probably take a month to complete. we have...

    Can BNC cables be converted, somehow, to connect to POE cameras

    They do make converters that allow you to use ip cams on coax. I would not go with this option unless it was a last resort. for the cost of the converters you could hire a installer to hide the new wiring. I also run as fast as I can from consumer grade wireless cameras.

    anyone know about imac computers?

    I dont think the user password is the issue. pretty sure it's a admin password and that's why a chip needs to be replaced and programmed. if only the IT guy who set up everything was not a ass clown and would cough up the passwords! it would make my life a little easier. but the guy is no longer...

    rough boxes for install in new construction

    I really have never seen any that you would install in the rough in stage. I always use a 4x4 metal box. I mostly do commercial work.for residential you could just have the drywaller bring out the cable right next to the stud so you have something solid to mount the camera to. I would take a...

    rough boxes for install in new construction

    you could always use a metal 4x4 and use a stainless steel blank cover and mount the camera to that. I use a unibit to make a hole for the cable and connector. I bought a box of assorted rubber grommets to protect the wire from the sharp edge of the hole. I always use staineless steel bolts and...

    Cheap cable is the worst thing you can use. no need to buy cat 6 for IP cameras. Cat 5 e is perfectly fine. most importantly, make sure it is 100% solid copper

    Who loves their tester? This one's bad af:

    I also label everything. it makes life a little easier when troubleshooting and testing cables especially on large jobs. nothing sucks more than standing on a ladder in freezing weather waiting for the other guy to find the correct wire to test.

    Who loves their tester? This one's bad af:

    These testers are great! I have them in all my trucks. I also have a fluke that cost 10 times as much and never use it. for the price of these you cant go wrong. and the battery lasts forever!
