Installer024

Rockvilleash1976, thanks for the advice. I sent you a private email.

Hey Guys, Newbie here, only my 2nd post. Had my largest install go very well a few months ago and know they are talking maintenance contract for the year. They also would like to see a monthly number as well. I have done some research and obviously know there are a few posts on here. I was hoping for a more in depth discussion with someone if possible. My specs are below. Let me know where you would start etc.....Things you would consider, prices you would charge, formulas you would use, things you would stipulate in the contract etc.. If you need more detail, i would be happy to give it over a private email to protect the confidentially of my client. Thanks guys Could really use your help. There are 2 warehouses. Both are close to each other, but 4 hours away from my shop. I usually charge 2/3 hourly rate for travel. Below is the equipment list with cost that was installed for each location. WH #1 31 Fixed Cameras- $275 Cost Each 1 PTZ $ 3500 DVR $11,500 NVT 4K WH #2 (Larger, more patch points) 29 Fixed Cameras- 250 Cost Each 3 PTZS 3500 Each, (1 was existing, works fine but is not new) DVR 11,500 NVT 5 K

Thanks ALL!! Shockwave..you are right. I called the PM at my client , explained the situation and am just waiting a bit to receive the right part. It actually might only cost me 3 days. I can't chance it, as the roof does have sitting water where they want the cameras, and even with a ton of sealant I wouldn't feel right about putting at least 8 holes in the roof for each camera. I guess I could call a contractor in to tar it, but I could probably have the mounts over-nighted for the same costs. Thanks again for all of your thoughts and inputs. Great to have real suggestions, and thoughtful responses. This wont be my only post I'm sure.

Yes I know the arm comes off, it accutaly comes in a separate box all together. It kind of defeats the purpose of the 300 dollar mount though. The purpose is to mount it close to the roof top so I could loosen and service the camera all from the roof. I thought about an attachment like this too, but then i need a lift to service the camera. I could buy any wall mount and accomplish the same thing. Keep it coming guys, please.

I'm pretty sure it is welded too. I don't know about cutting 3 of them. Wouldn't even know what kind of saw to use or where to start, plus, there brand new, I'd had to do a hack job on them you know.

I was hoping I could so I called pelco tech support to ask if it was an attachment or if it was welded on and he said he thought it was welded and I could not remove. I don't have it in front of me, it is on site. Can someone confrim that is a possibility?

HI, I have been using this page for years but finally have a question to post, I need some solid advice. This is my first major install. I have done small systems for offices etc before but this is 2 300,000+ Sq ft warehouse project and I am almost done but have one small issue. I purchased 3 pelco PP351's instead of 3 pp350's. My supplier had them listen on the web page incorrectly and I didn't catch it until the parts arrived. The only difference is, that the one i received mounts to a flat roof, while the 350's mount to the side of the building. I am not sure what to do. They have a flat tar type roof, and I have seen standing water on it during my walk through. I am really worried about leaks after i install it. Has anyone installed a 351 on a flat roof before? How did you ensure it didn't leak? Using sandbags or cynder blocks wont fly so I would really have to drill at least 8 holes into a flat roof.....I know I can seal seal seal, but am a little afraid they will still leak. I can return and get new ones, but it will put me past my project deadline. Advice????? Thanks guys, really appreciate it.
