otronics 0 Posted August 25, 2016 Hello. An odd one this - This CCTV tower here: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.2056395,-2.1839166,3a,15y,335.16h,78.76t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s2jaEcmFapBPyJk1Fhr6EWQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 is making a banging noise, similar to an alarm clock going off, but quieter. Any ideas what this is? A cooling fan maybe? Noises are random with no set pattern. Thanks. Oliver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

otronics 0 Posted August 27, 2016 Hello. The noise is constant but like I say with no set pattern. Random 'bangs' every 1 - 2 seconds. The motor isn't constantly running though is it? Unless it is on a random pan setting overnight I guess.....? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess there could be a preset tour programmed into the system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
