Thanks Dave.

 

Both cameras were knocked out again yesterday so that’s one way of resetting. Managed to upgrade the firmware now, although that it a bit picky and took a couple attempts.

Couldn’t use my backup settings due to upgrade so had to set up the cameras from scratch…… Not sure totally correct will have to look at manual again or network camera critic for setup.

Never mind. Let’s see if they stay up now over next day or so. If so I am assuming they were getting reset by external source. Fingers crossed.

The hardware is great but software is a bit confusing to set up and can be flaky at times. I got IVMS4200 running last night after bit of effort, then it forgot a camera and I can’t get  it connected back again now……

Will investigate further but may need input with error messages. Thanks again for replies.

Thanks for the reply Dave

Apologies, confusing matters. It is the IVMS 4500 android app that I use to view the Ip cameras remotely.

Password was one of the first things I changed, it is reasonably strong but will review again when updating the firmware.

The cameras have been very reliable last couple of years or so, just strange behaviour with one of them.

Is it worth picking a  less well known ports for forwarding? Will update the firmware and take it from there.

Thanks for feedback.

Windows was suggesting corruption update database, so ran the fix. For some reason still had not fixed.

Also removed previous updates in temp files with disk cleanup although that hung at first.

Change the virtual memory to manual settings and starting to update some drivers.

At present seems to have a made a big difference, fingers crossed, will monitor

Cheers

As mentioned elsewhere, there is also a skills shortage in the construction industry and fire resisting materials are required to be installed exactly as per the instructions otherwise they wont work. I’ve even seen competent installers cock things up and I had to pick this up in a fire risk assessment.

This is an issue at the moment on some sites I have worked on, there is not the skills to sign off work properly and firms abdicate responsibility to the specialist installer. Its penetrations through the compartmentation that cause me most concern on projects, particularly where things get hidden. Fire stopping in the external wall cavity is another one, there are always a few difficult areas to detail. How can you tell whether every joint is built correctly when hidden by the panels.

The trouble is the market perpetuallly wants to squeeze money out of projects, including consultants and dont want to pay for a full service. The biggest loss to the industry is a clerk of works.

This along with the problem with schools in Scotland (collapsed walls), is indicative of stored up problem where the chickens will come home to roost eventually.

We have lost too many skilled people through successive recessions and obsession with cost inefficiencies.

If even half the reports in this Met Article are accurate then no-one should be surprised if subsequent events lead to arrests being made in the very near future. The role played by the insulation boards in the spread of the fire is self evident and Councils should be developing immediate action plans to strip any building where the insulation board does not meet a Class 0 fire rating. Whether that choice was excusable should be left to the Inquiry but that should not delay immediate remedial action where this is obvious. (using the German or US fire standards might be a good start!)

Too early to jump to conclusions on this until the full facts are known. I may well be someone has been negligent, but suspect a specific set of circumstances laid on top of each other have led to a catastrophic failure. I suspect no one individual will be to blame. It certainly looks like the cladding is the main culprit, but it may well comply with the current building regs. I read somewhere it has a class 0 rating although no doubt lesser than other types of cladding.

There is certainly an issue of erosion of skills and standards in construction generally, pressure on building control depts, clients unwilling to pay for proper supervision (very few people employ clerk of works nowadays).

This is not all linked austerity, it has been ongoing for a number of years before the current government. Hopefully out of this things will change.

There is an obsession with value for money, it is leading to a race to the bottom.

Fine if everything, including printers, servers, TVs etc. is on that WiFi but murder if they aren’t or you want to do something that involves port forwarding.

I presume you mean the mesh network options. I would only be planning to turn off the sky Q WiFi and using the WAP for WiFi assuming I can get a better signal out of it.

Anyone any recommendations? Thanks for input

Thanks Dave, I have read your posts on the ubiquiti kit before.

The layout of my house (with rear extension) does not lend itself to ceiling mounting the WAP’s and my wife hates any exposed cables.

In all truth, the Sky Q is not that bad but there is quite a big drop off. My google tablet, seems fastest, followed by laptop then phone, all varying speeds. Just never seen such big differences before. Other than that seems pretty stable and does not drop off peak times, which Virgin has been bad for in my area (over utilisation).

Funny when Talk Talk, a smallish company can provide a better bit of kit than than a big corporate beast like Sky, but there you go……

Will likely suck it up for a bit then look at a separate WAP.

Hi all

Not been around MM forum for a bit and saw the news. I lost my password and the forum wouldn’t do a password reset.

Still lurking occasionally when time permits. All the best with the new home. Will try and drop a contribution soon.

Quick question, how do you start a thread? Just me being thick I guess but could not see how to do this?? :unsure:
