I am installing 10,000 feet of CAT5 for a network. I am thinking of CCTV in the future and want to pull the cable now before the construction is done. My supplier only carries Beldin Siamese, does anyone have experience with this?

Yes, it is in a return air (drop) ceiling.

How much do you guys get a 1000 feet for. I was quoted $470.00 for Plenum Siamese. And I thought $170 was allot for CAT5

I have never seen this company before. Anyone have experience with them? http://www.mangodsp.com/raven-x.asp

Please tell me what is wrong. Good http://tinypic.com/9fnz1c.jpg Bad http://tinypic.com/9fnzaa.jpg

I am not a pro, it looks good enough for me

It works now, I did not do or change anything. http://tinypic.com/9km329.jpg P.S. Tinypic.com is pretty cool. Thanks for everyones help.

Natural gas generators are nice because you do not have to worry about onsite storage. The gas supplies work without power.

I do not have them anymore.

chris, I did a 2 cam system for $1800 you could use some cheaper parts to get to a 4 cam system. http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=1059

Does anyone know where I can get 4000 feet of Plenum UV rated CAT5. Graybar is the only person I know has it but they want 66 cents per foot. I am doing some drops that need to go outdoor then in buildings that reqire plenum.

I found that but at $660 per 1000 it is way to much.

thanks, I do not think they have a UV jacket that is plenum.

I just got a Speedome 2000 RA186XV - For $160.00. Was this a good deal? I have no idea what the specs for this camera are if some one could help. Also how do I hook it to my GV-800-4 Thanks

Not sure, I have not done anything with mine if you want to buy it.

I use: start run cmd ipconfig /all >>c:\IP.txt Then you get a text file with the info incase you need it later.

Great idea but why PVC? Aluminum tube is cheap and would last longer.

Have you looked at useing a IR Repeater?

Don't be so sure. Have you ever seen what just 5 angry nerds can do to a computer room? Bring out the tear gas or fire hose and they will stop

I worked for the prison system in Texas. We had very cool stuff but it all cost a fortune. If it can keep 5000 angry men it, I am sure it can protect a computer room. http://www.correctionalnews.com/index.cfm?do=catalog

Can someone suggest the best dome for $150 or less. I was looking at the Ganz it is only $80 but am willing to pay up to $150. http://www.cbcamerica.com/cctvprod/ganz/cams/domeCams/DomePDF/MD_MDC.pdf Does not need vandal.

I use VNC with No-IP Free Fast And has a java viewer built in.

It can do WiFi 802.11 if you have a network.
